My booth rent went up $200 overnight with zero notice

I overheard another stylist saying she just accepts rent hikes because 'you gotta pay to play in a good salon.' But I know three girls who walked out when their landlord pulled the same thing last year. Is it smarter to negotiate hard or just find a new space when they treat you like that?

My friend Michelle had a landlord try that and she just packed her chair up that night and moved into another salon two blocks over. Did the landlord even offer to explain the increase or just slip in a new invoice?

Honestly, negotiate hard but have your backup plan ready. Tbh I tried to haggle once and just ended up agreeing to pay more because I'm a pushover who hates confrontation. Learned my lesson when the owner bought a new car two weeks later.
