My good friend has been renting, from Fox Management, for over 9 years. She is on a "Fixed Term Lease" and after the first 9 months, Fox raised her Rent $100.00. It stayed the same, for 7 years, then in May, 2014, they raised it $75.00. In June, 2015, they raised it, again, another $75.00. Now, in March, 2016, her Rent was raised another $150.00! That's ridiculous! Since she can't afford that kind of Rent, she has been FORCED to move from the House she's really come to like. Now, I'm helping her pack up her things, so she can move, to a much less expensive place, to live. I feel really bad, for her, too!
Fox Management is the WORSE Rental Agency, there is! They are rude, and don't do Maintenance calls, when asked. Fox Management, at the Owners request, had a 125' Sequoia removed, from my friend's front yard, in May 2015. So far, they have done NOTHING, at all, to fix up the front yard, so it will, at least, look half way decent. It's so ugly, now that my friend gets depressed, every time she looks at it.
Also, she was on a "Fixed Term Lease" and she NEVER signed any New Leases (the entire time she's lived in her House). Fox Management had No Right, to EVER raise her Rent, at all! According to the "State Rental Laws" in Oregon, if a person is on a "Fixed Term Lease", the Rent can NOT be raised unless the Tenant signs a new Lease, each time their Rent is raised. She has NEVER signed any new Leases. The only one she signed was her Original Lease, back in December, 2006!
