<prompt> Human: I am currently searching for my first apartment and after asking how much rent has been raised in the last five years, I was told that it has increased from 640 to 765. Is this a normal increase for five years, or should I look for a new apartment?  <response>: A 20 increase over 5 years is roughly a 4 increase every year.That seems pretty average to me but itll depend on your market. Its probably a little high for how low inflation has been in the last few years.
