My landlord just hit me with another rent increase, and I’ve only been here since June. First it was 350€, then 380€ in August, and now she wants 420€ starting next month. The apartment is nothing special – old furniture, noisy neighbors, and the heating barely works. She says it’s because of inflation and rising costs, but I see other places in the city center for the same price with better conditions. I’m a student so this is really stressing me out. Has anyone successfully negotiated with their landlord in Niš? Or know if there’s any legal limit on increases? I signed a one-year contract but it doesn’t mention anything about rent changes. Feeling kinda trapped because moving is expensive too. Any advice would be great.
