Rental Market Experiencing Inflation

With people continuing to work virtually and relocating to less expensive cities, along with the influx of millennials and Gen Z renters, the rental market is beginning to surge as the economy reopens. Rent prices are up 7.5% nationwide, three times more than normal. Experts predict that rent prices will continue to climb. This could be a warning sign that higher inflation is here to stay longer than the federal government has predicted.
