My landlord enjoys me as a tenant, but he still raises rent every year. Because he charges what the market will bear.

A wise landlord would lag the market a bit. A good tenant is worth more than an average one, and vacancy is expensive.

I "think" I have a wise landlord.

Either way, I hope for a wise one next time around.

And yet, you stay in your apartment, even though there are cheaper apartments.

I.e. money is far from the only factor motivating you. You have a number of items that matter to you, money being one of them, that lead you to choose. The same is true for jobs.

What you work on matters. Who your team is matters. What your leadership does or doesn't do matters.

Transaction costs are still money (or equivalent). Same for risk.

How long until you recover the financial costs of moving given the cheaper rent?

Let's forget the stress and emotions and logistics of moving.
