To sign 'rent', start by forming both hands into '1' handshapes, with your index fingers extended and other fingers curled. Hold your non-dominant hand in front of you with the index finger pointing straight up. Place your dominant index finger horizontally across the back of your non-dominant index finger, then slide it downward. This sign is very similar to the sign for 'month', but is often repeated to indicate the recurring nature of paying rent.
Sign 'rent' by sliding your dominant index finger down the back of your vertical non-dominant index finger, then follow with the signs for 'pay' and 'today'.

Start with 'my', then sign 'rent' using the index finger sliding motion, followed by the sign for 'increase' or 'go up' to show the price change.
