Landlords need to pay the mortgage for the place along with paying for upkeep and upgrades.

Some times they pay utilities for the tenants as well.

Then you have cases of scummy tenants who dont pay or they leave early and absolutely trash the place beyond what a security deposit can cover.

If you ever feel that rent is too high at one place, voice your concern and look elsewhere. If rent is so far beyond an unreasonable level, nobody will live there and they would be forced to lower that rent or offer other services to get people to move in.

I know, I don't disagree with the title either. It's too high, but it's due to builders building what makes money. Can't fault them for that, can't fault the landlord for doing what they gotta do either. Houses aren't much better lately, everything is built high $ and they get it so why build affordable? Then the area comps go up, so everything else does too.

Trying to build affordable living now would also be a bad gamble. An 8' 2x4 is nearly $7 right now and good luck getting trusses or engineered I beams. It ain't getting better for a bit unfortunately

Yeah its high. When i moved into this apartment in 1997 the rent was like $650 a month. Now its nearly $1100. Same apartment. So in like 23 years its gone up 400 dollars. I guess thats a long time really, but it just shows how some landlords raise rent each year when you renew your lease

What if the government is footing the tenant's rent and paying for the mortgage at the same time?

By some miracle, I pay like $810 for a one bedroom in the twin cities (But the area is also extremely impoverished) Honestly, paying a bit more for a decent area is so worth it, but it's a lot harder if you're trying to make it on your own.

My area is terrifying, but it is a really nice feeling to have a space all your own. If you take in a roomie, be sure it's a two bedroom at the very least! I know at least a few people who tried to make a one bedroom work, but it just...doesn't, unless you're a pretty serious couple.
