landlord ⓐrater (ⓑon the contrary) put the price up
Hello~ Can you help me say this naturally please?
A: when does your lease end?
B: I still have 10 months to go. I signed 12months contract.
A: That’s too long, man. Why did you do that?
What if you can find better house than this? There is no way to move out.
B: I know, I was a bit rash at that time.
A: Did you get some discount for the long lease by any chance?
B: No way, landlord ⓐrater (ⓑon the contrary) put the price up for $5 a week, you know.
A: That's ridiculous, it usually cheaper for long lease.
B: Yea, anyway, it is no use regretting. There is no way but just accepting the reality.

or: raised the rent by $5 a week.
A: That's ridiculous, it's usually cheaper for a long lease.
B: Yeah, anyway, it is no use regretting. (a perfect idiom would be: It's no use crying over spilt milk.) There is no way (or: nothing to do) but just to accept the reality.
I hope this is helpful,
Petra
