Good to see that rents are declining.
Renting is for asshats.

"they don't look at building owners' income"
and they shouldn't. As a LL, what does my income have to do with what is a Fair Market Rent???? If I choose to have a job and be a LL, why should I subsidize my tenant(s)?
When utilities rise mid-year, LL's can't go back and rewrite the lease(s), so they have to wait until renewal to make-up for the months past.
I also think it's ironic that an idiot poster to the original post article suggests that LLs are making money from their commercial tenants. I used to be a LL and I know many people who still are and none of us had or have commercial tenants.
