You guys are lucky. Rio de Janeiro has a real estate boom. My photo studio just got a 120% rent increase, and that was on top of the normal yearly rent increases they charged as inflation adjustment.

Good that I also receive rent.

Ask me if you want to invest in real estate in Brazil. Real estate increases in value dramatically, and it seems more pent-up demand and belated increase after decades of being stagnant then a bubble.

120% increase, really? That would mean that rent of say $1000 is now $2200. Or did you mean a 20% increase so that your rent is now 120% of what it was or $1200, to use made up numbers?

That's the good thing about higher end rental properties. You don't have the same economic volatility as when renting to bottom-feeders.

Yes. From 490 to 540 in March, then they demanded 1200 and finally settled for 1000. They had the right to evict at will, so they can demand whatever they want. I understand why rent control has its reasons, because for a business it is a major hardship to be evicted, so one may be forced to settle for more then one would pay elsewhere.

Rio de Janeiro and Brazilian real estate market is exploding.

Real estate tripled in the last 5 years, and there are good reasons to believe it is not a bubble. Of course, rental values go up, similarly.

You know, nobody here in the US believed in the RE bubble. Those dollars were votes of confidence... and it's gone, baby gone.
