You could sign a longer lease and get the stability you desire. Negotiate a five year lease and stability is yours.

None of the landlords I’ve rented from wanted to do that. Sample size of like 8.

I've done it multiple times. Everytime I wanted to do it, it was possible.

If you offer to sign a 5 year lease at current prices, then yeah, can see why they might not go for that.

I would definitely take it, personally. I have never increased rent on any of my tenants in Seattle, ever. I've had some tenants for 7 years+.
