Choose 1 or 2 year lease on a new rental?

[BobDollar]

Quick question:

I am signing a new lease on a rent stabilized unit. Options are:

1 year lease @ $1550 per month
2 year lease @ $1585 per month

Obviously depends on increases next cycle, but which would you guys go for?

Thanks!

First I would make sure you don't disclose information about your identity (via your username or the quantities in your rent amounts)...

Second, if your lease is up now, you realize that there is a 0% increase on a 1 year, right? It's a gamble that possibly next year they will approve higher rates...

From what the OP says, this is a new (vacancy) lease. So right now the RGB percentage is moot. What matters is after the vacancy lease expires.
