rent hike
Costlier monthly payments
A rent hike is an increase in the amount a tenant pays for housing.
The phrase typically implies a significant or unwelcome jump rather than a modest adjustment: Tenants protested the proposed rent hike.
Landlords announce rent hikes; tenants absorb, negotiate, or move to escape them.
