[quote=Anonymous]NP. You do sound very clueless and naive, OP. And yes, entitled. We're currently renting, just had another baby and it never occurred to me for a second that it might stop my LL from raising the rent. We have so far escaped rent increases due to paying consistently on time, handling repairs ourselves, etc. It's cheaper to keep us than replace us. We just notified the LL a couple weeks before the baby was due as a courtesy. The world doesn't stop because you're having a baby. Or two. That was your decision, not your LL's decision. If you couldn't afford it and now effectively need/want handouts (which is another way of phrasing your question) then you shouldn't have chosen to have kids. And a baby (or two!) definitely increases wear and tear on the house - more use of bathrooms, more use of washing machines, more use in the kitchen, more visitors, more everything really. If anything, I'd expect the rent to actually go up faster than it would have usually.[/quote]
