Hi guys, seems, we are the naive ones. when we signed the lease for our 3 room luxury apartment (70 sm) close to Kutusovsky in Dec 2007, the landlord asked for 4000 USD and wanted to be paid in RUB: 98,000 back then. When Dec 08 came up, we extended the lease for 6 months. Now the landlord wants to be paid in USD (4000). So, in total terms, it looks like it neither increased nor decreased. Problem is, we get paid in RUB, so, now it looks very different: RUB 128,000, an increase of 30% !!!
Just the thought of having to move, especially now in winter, or having to put up with an apartment less luxurious, makes me bolt. This is my justification, but quite an expensive one :-( Regards Ricky
