Honestly? It sounds complicated, and it will end up with you still paying the much higher rent.
I guess it all depends on what you can actually afford, and what your "I'm outta here" point is. I'd be more inclined to go back to him with a straight counter offer (say, current rent +100) and be prepared to move up to maybe +150. How hard you play it depends on how prepared you are to walk, I guess.
What are market rents like in your area anyway? Does this increase, unfair as it is, put you in general market range? Or is he jacking things up to where you could do better elsewhere?
So far, they claim they've only heard her bark once at the shelter.
Ollie didn't bark for the first time til he was 6 months old.
Then again, we're bad Beagle parents. He never went through obedience school and it shows.
We did break him of the howling though. Thanks heavens.
Freaking TINY. I don't know the measurements, but if I had to guess, maybe 28." Certainly no more than 30."
Jeebus. He and Joe could share pants. I ask because I have one of my great-grandmother's vintage (maybe 40's?) waist cinchers and I thought he might love it and it's teeny.

Barking, like shedding, sometimes doesn't really develop until adolescent/adulthood.
How teeny is teeny?
I'll measure it when I get home. It could probably use a relacing, but it's white cotton - nothing fancy-schmancy.
that would

be fun

I don't really know. I need to check that out.
Besides not wanting to leave my home, I'm very glad to have my office here and if I move, renting two spaces will be much, much more expensive...so the $1800 is seriously painful, but less than I imagine it would be elsewhere.
I DO know that, if I leave, he's got many thousands of dollars in repairs, renovations to do before he can rent to anyone else. Not the least of which is lead paint abatement.
