That is insane for a 1 bedroom in Middletown. It should be under $1,000. I agree you should look for a condo to rent from a private owner. At least they normally would not jack up the rent each year. Jay

It is truly insane, yes. I am currently paying $1,165, so to renew for another year would be a whopping $110 increase. My other option is to rent month-to-month for $1,403 per month! My father is a landlord and when I told him that, he said they need to "stick it up their ___." I mean, the apt is less than 800 square feet!

Yeah, you were worried about rent in Milford given a job switch, but that's edging high even for there. Definitely move.
