rent-increase-response
Respond to a rent increase strategically — check its validity first, price your alternatives honestly, then negotiate with the leverage tenants forget they have (turnover costs the landlord more than a compromise). Use when asked my rent is going up what can I do, negotiate my rent increase, is this increase even legal, or should I stay or move. Produces the validity checklist, the stay-vs-move math, the negotiation letter with its trade menu, and the decision timeline against the notice period.

# Rent Increase Response Skill A rent increase letter looks like a decree; it's usually an opening position. Tenants systematically underprice their own leverage — turnover costs a landlord real money (vacancy, turnover work, listing, the risk of a worse tenant), which means a good tenant proposing a middle number with a longer lease is often genuinely the landlord's best offer. This skill runs the response in the only sensible order: validity (is this increase properly noticed, and lawful where caps exist — flagged, not assumed), then the honest stay-vs-move math, then the negotiation those numbers arm. ## What This Skill Produces - **The validity checklist** — notice form and period, lease-term timing, and the rent-regulation question — as jurisdiction-flagged checks, because an invalid increase changes the entire conversation - **The stay-vs-move ledger** — the increase's real annual cost vs. the full cost of moving, both sides computed - **The negotiation letter** — the counter with its trade menu (term length, prepayment, self-managed wear items, timing) - **The decision timeline** — the response schedule worked back from the notice deadline, so options stay open ## Required I

Where does this skill come from?
From mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills, a repository with 1,255 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
