<prompt> Human: My house rental has been my main source of income during this time while I was moving around. I supplement it with teaching online but the income is too low. I currently rent out my house for 2000 a month which is located in Suburbannot great area of Los Angeles. I want to raise the rent a little but terrified my tenants will move out. They seem to struggle with the rent as it is.Any advice?  <response>: If they struggle with rent, and you are renting below market rate, what choice do they have? Itll be better for them to stay and pay an extra hundred bucks a month. I say this as a renter ha. Every year I get rent increase, every year I look for another apartment, every year I stay. If the rent is not significantly cheaper 75 less or better I wont move. I think you have significantly more wiggle room than you think. Also, youre in LA??? Jeez lemme be your tenant and Ill sign a 3 year lease lol.
