New Report Shows Some Cities Seeing Rental Price Hikes

All is not doom and gloom in the apartment rental market.

While a number of large cities experienced falling rents, others continued to see rising ones, particularly in areas with high demand.

Between April and June 2020, rents were down in Los Angeles by 5.42%, Miami by 3.97%, Seattle by 2.33% and Houston by 1.69%. Each of those places experienced high rates of COVID-19 infection at some point during the quarter.
