Avalon rent: renewal 41% higher than new tenant - new high.

That's a new high in this one example. Apparently, the business model is to hook new tenants with outrageous rents, then increase the rent every ten months until the tenants leave. It seems counter intuitive but it probably makes money or Avalon would't do it. Here's the box score:

Read the previous post about Avalon for context:

Avalon rents can vary by more than 28 percent in the same apartment line in the same building. Renewal: 39% higher! SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 2017
