Like a lot of posts here, there was a little misinformation I wanted to correct."Month" not "year". Not all people do their homework and then they come here to complain. Didn't want that to happen. I was basically agreeing with the poster I was quoting, he said " amenities fee went up an average of $2 per year in the 7 years" that would have been $14. I said mine went up $15 and change in the last 7 years. That's a deal in my books!
It's confusing semantics.
If it goes up $2/month..

In January it's 160
In February it's 160 + 2 = 162
In March it's 162 + 2 = 164
In April it's 164 + 2 = 166
and so on.

If you mean it was a $2 increase in the monthly payment - it'd be a $24 increase for 2020. But it wouldn't be a $24 yearly increase for the same reason as above:
2020 would be $24 increase
2021 would be the previous year's payment plus $24
2022 would be the previous year's payment plus $24.

And so on.

Hopefully though people all know what everyone MEANT, and didn't try to take the words literally.
