How the hell is one of the States with the lowest jobs rate, lowest income per capita, most abhorrent schools, and biggest threat from climate change (water and electricity are going to become unspeakably expensive in the next 5-7 years in Vegas/Nevada) becoming one of the most expensive places to live? There is NOTHING justifying it. Maybe it’s climate migration from the Californians who can’t afford their cost of living and fear all of the wildfires that’s driving the price up?
Pretty soon those who are needed to work will not be able to afford to live here. Then, there will be reports of severe labor shortage. It's almost like the city is turning its back on those whose hard work and heart went into making it.
I think there are a lot of people moving out , it's just more people are moving in than out. Its been that way for decades wealthier people from California and New York moving in and native Nevadans moving out . That is probably one big reason the casinos are trying to automate everything so quickly because they know service employees are not going to be able to live here very much longer, at least in the numbers they have historically.
@@jessemcelroy5266 totally agree with you. Service workers making an average of 12-15 per hr could never afford the high rental or home prices in the Las Vegas Valley. This includes Henderson and Boulder City as well. I love when people say move out. Go to another city. Well rents and home prices are up across the country. Have these people looked in to the prices that moving companies are charging these days? Obviously not. Because they wouldn’t be so fast to give advice to just move. Well maybe if they have nothing to their name, and can just pick up and go at the drop of a hat. Kind of like a homeless person. Unbelievable!
Problem is this is happening everywhere in the U.S. and other countries too apparently. It's the end of the middle class in general, you're either a Lord of the land or a peasant now, no in-between.
This is happening in all major cities. Here in South FL we are experiencing the same thing. On top of housing, gasoline and groceries are shy high. No joke, toothpaste at my local grocery store is $4.75-5.50 for a single tube of toothpaste. This is at a chain grocery store, not high end store.
I get my toothpaste and soap and deodorant from dollar general, it's cheaper than anywhere else and they have coupons you can add on their website. And if you go on Saturdays they have a $5 off of your order of $25 or more, combine that with the store coupons and I save a lot and stock up on household items

Really depressing stuff. Las Vegas is all I know, and soon I may have to say goodbye. My rent has gone up 40% in just 2 years. As a young parent it’s just to much. Raiders? Golden Knights? The A listers on The Strip? What a blessing eh? The vast majority of us pre October 2nd 2018 locals haven’t seen a second of it. We built this city, and can no longer afford to live here. Some of us aren’t here just for the events, or entertainment, but because we have our loved ones buried here. Alas Las Vegas is becoming just another Los Angeles suburb.
Yes, it is disappointing. You will probably see a significant price drop once interest rates reach a certain level, but it is probably going to take a couple years to get there. The Fed likes to raise rates in 1/4 point increments, meaning it will be slow sailing. I do think the state's and city's best days are behind them, though.
You should find a way to stay. Vegas is like the ugliest baby in the world - only a native could love living there. If you can make it through a couple of more years until the fools who moved there wise up to the horrendous summers and threat of drought, the prices will begin to come down again. There is no job market there that justifies the cost. Nor are the schools worth it.

If you’re a prospective first-time homebuyer hoping (or praying) home prices will decline in 2022, don’t count on it. If people are waiting for a price to decline, well, it’s not going to happen. Heading into the spring of 2022, mortgage rates have increased over a full percentage point and while purchase demand has cooled, it remains firm. Supply remains near record lows, so home price growth is expected to remain high through the spring homebuying season before cooling off later this year as mortgage rates continue to rise. Investing in REITs will be a right decision as it's also included in a growing number of defined-benefit and defined-contribution investment plans

communes is come from the communism.. In Soviet Russia there were communal apartments and hostels. This is what America is moving towards and what modern Russia is moving away from.
no. quit expecting people to group together and live in a friggen commune instead of fixing the problem. this country is full of greedy landlords and corporations who are buying property at inflated prices. let's fix the problem
currently in the US there are 400,000 less available homes for sale than in 2019. For every 65 households that make $75k-$100K there is 1 house on the market in their price range. More people are renting so the prices are driven up by supply and demand. There are dozens of corporations that are buying up apartments and single family homes raising rent and making home ownership harder. In Phoenix there are 4 communities being built with 4,000 single family home ALL for rent only, not for sale. Lack of building since the 2008 crash, investors buying up property, I see no relief for at least the next 10 years.

Hadn't been i Vegas for 7 years but when I was there recently it felt like California. It's identity is gone. Corporate America with Democrat Liberals in their pocket is to blame.
I lived in Las Vegas in the late 90's and paid $500 to $600 a month for a two-bedroom apartment for about three years. The last year I was there (1998-99) I moved to two-bedroom condo that I rented for $550 a month. When I first moved to LV and toured various apartment complexes, several times I left contact information and afterwards I was contacted by property managers who wanted to know if I was still interested in their apartments. Renters had the advantage back then.
I had 1 bedroom 1,000 square foot apartment for $550 near Eastern and Tropicana back in 2000. that was nice. had no furniture but my lawn chair, tv, and Sega Saturn. It was glorious.
I moved to Vegas back in 2003 from Oregon & I couldn't believe that they didn't request any deposits. I don't believe I paid an app fee then either. Just first month's rent. The rent was very reasonable. Although it wasn't the best area of Vegas it was a gated complex, 2 swimming pools,, nice size units.. This was when Vegas was rated top 5 places to live. Crazy how it has changed, charges for everything now & the application fees are ridiculous. Although I moved back to Oregon a yr later from moving there I am taken aback by hearing what is taking place there now. Unfortunately it is everywhere that landlords have lost their damn minds & have no compassion.
Rent won't be reduced, same like gas price and groceries costs. Just stop buying unnecessaries things, reduce cable channels, ride public transportation, drink instant coffee instead of ground coffee, don't buy bread, eat fewer carbs food, more veggies, salads, fruit, and some protein.

Landlords always come up with an excuse to raise rent, most of the time it’s just greed or poor financial management. Usually there's a mortgage on the rental, so unless the landlord ran his/her behind down to the bank and took out a 2nd mortgage on it (then wants me to pay it back in higher rent for their choices) the overall rent shouldn't have increased so dramatically. I worked and paid my rent on time during the “PLANdemic” and the landlord thanked me by raising rent $200 for a place that is getting older and older by the day. Property taxes don't justify that. Rip off!!!

No one is willing to raise the wages to meet the cost of living either, that is why it is also a problem. They claim jobs are easy to find, but now people have to live on the street when they work these jobs because the wages are the same as from 15 years ago?
In Florida many jobs have been eliminated entirely because of the minimum wage increases. Fruit stands out of business, they did not profit enough to pay more, it hurts business owners and customers. It's not because of greed or unwillingness, the small businesses just can't afford it. The money is not there, and if they raise prices to cover the new minimum they lose sales. The price of donuts at coffee shops has more than doubled. Many of the people crying about a "living wage" do not understand this basic principle, as if money doesn't have to be earned.

I've been listening to people waiting for the "crash" since 2015 (when we were barely out of the doldrums of the market.) Timing markets is rarely successful.
The only reason there is no inventory is that there are investment firms buying up all the houses and apartment complexes. I am willing to bet that within the next ten years, more than half of any type of domicile will be owned by only a dozen or so firms.
I lived in Chicago and rents kept going up do to high taxes.

if you're reading this, easiest way to compete with these prices is to find a job that requires a "special" set of skills. Get into industries that are ALWAYS in need of employees.

This is why you never sleep on purchasing a home and being content with renting. You lose out and unfortunately around the USA the desirable states and cities are going up the most. If you are a renter you may have to move to South Dakota or Kansas to make a living where it is cheap. When the market is ready you BUY, these people were content with Renting and it cost you.
People aren't "content" with renting, they can't afford to buy. I'm renting because I do not have the money to buy a house and wouldn't qualify for a large enough loan for any of the houses in my area.
We subsidized corporations with PPP funding, who then turned around and gave themselves huge bonuses while getting free money. Those same corporations are now causing greedflation. We would have been better off spending those trillions of dollars on subsidizing house building instead of throwing it at corporations to basically give their executives bonuses and shareholders extra dividends.
I live in NE Kansas where once upon a time it was very affordable. We moved from CA over 12 years ago. We bought a house outright so we have no mortgage payment. Rents have gone from around $500 a couple years ago up to $900+ today. Homes are selling, some within hours of appearing on the market. Anything under $140k usually won't last more than a few days. There was a lot of "Flippers" who came out here a couple years ago and started to drive the market up. If you're a blue collar worker there are a lot of jobs here and they pay very well. Manufacturers have moved here as well as distribution centers. Because of people quitting so frequently they are constantly hiring. As far as costs at the supermarket, they've been increasing although we're not experiencing a lot of shortages. The shelves are usually stocked. Except maybe the ramen noodles. Gas is almost $4. Half the people drive pickups, the dealerships have very few on their lots. A lot of people have moved here from other states so the infrastructure is suffering. We had some snow a few times which created a lot of potholes, more like craters. They won't be filled until the weather changes.

Sorry, I won't live on the streets. Not a lot jobs there for blue collar workers.. Living here used to be like living in 70s San Diego. So I'm not sure how I'm part "of the problem" Maybe in your liberal mind. 🤔 btw, a lot of people in California are transplants who wanted the weather and lifestyle. California used to conservative. It wasn't the natives that ruined California, it was them bringing in their liberal agenda and inviting all the illegal aliens in. Oh, the house we bought cost $28,000 then. With no income it was everything we had. It hasn't gone up much in value since. We're not exactly wealthy liberals 🙄.
California has rent control. The issue with rent control is that new builders will never build affordable housing such as affordable apartments anymore. Because it doesn't benefit to do so knowing they won't be able to raise rent. So they build luxury apartments so they can start off charging a large amount that the regular person can't afford anyways. The only people it protects are those that already rent low but they will never be able to move out of fear of losing their rent protected apartment. Rent control is not all it's cut out to be. That is why you don't see affordable apartments being built in California anymore. Rent start at 2500 for a 1 room apartment. How does rent control help?
Rent control won’t fix it. Neither will raising the minimum wage because all employers just raise prices as their expenses increase and it’s passed down to the consumer. Which means that $1 raise won’t offset the increase in prices for goods and services. We need to stop talking about a minimum wage and look at the livable wage. Two very different things.
With all these price increases, I’m definitely glad I didn’t have a kid. With all the financial & health issues, and job issue as that my family is going through rn, I’d truly struggle to take care of us both. I’m barely affording me rn

Looking at the prices now its just ridiculous. I know many friendly Vegas locals saying its unaffordable and they are moving to other states. When remote work becomes less I think people will return to the cities. Hopefully...
As a thirty year landlord I know the quality of tenants has gone seriously downhill. I sold all my rentals , I might go back to renting but only if rents double. It will take a doubling of rents to make being a landlord worth while , at least double. Until tenants understand they are expected to maintain the property . The landlord isn’t your cleaning company. Your destructive children , pets make renting a losing business. Aside from doubling the rent at least doubling the damage deposits as well. Good luck to all of you irresponsible jerks out there.
Sheeesh you're old. It's ok you will be rotting in your coffin ⚰ underground soon. So don't worry about renting any properties. Just enjoy your last few years.
Ha ha! You're a douche, YOU have to keep some cash on hand to pay for maintenance of YOUR buildings instead of getting all stressed out like the world is ending.
You can adult only apartments. But people should respect property and keep it clean. They don't realize it can the rent down too cause you don't have to hire cleaners as often.
Good Luck LV, landlords. The city will stop you, along with corporations. Why? Because they need workers to work in the Casinos. You are driving out the work force through PURE GREED! The guy that is fighting the rent increase. Should know his landlord us doing it because she wants to come back into her home. And she is fling it to purposely make him move. Which is far different from the GREEDY Landlords, charging rent fees like it's a mini mansion!
@@brandonlopez8950 so? And the landlords still had to pay their bills. Why is it ok for people to live off of someone else? I sympathize because I lost my job, but the bank doesn’t care, my mortgage was due! Same with landlords. Now they want to make up losses for being forced to house people for free. You act like the renters were the only ones who lost jobs and shouldn’t have to pay. Don’t you think property owners went through the same thing? Not to mention, many many people were collecting free money, more than they’ve ever had and still not paying rent.
This is why I'm attending college, I'm struggling and I have managed to get the rent caught up but I was only able to find a part time job after 9 months, and it doesn't pay well so I don't even know how long that will last, because even though I communicated to the landlord they are getting less understanding. And on top of that I have people just expecting me to live on a low wage. That is not exactly supportive.
It’s not about a college education, people with college education and have good paying jobs are struggling because the rents are rising do high and so fast that even educated people with high paying jobs can’t pay the rents. People are going from a 1000 to 3000 a month rent in one year and that is the truth in many major cities.

They could solve this overhight be ending non US citizens from owning homes. And by ending nonowner occupied single family housing. This would lower home prices and rents would follow
Property taxes go up, repair goods goes up, Electricians, Plumbers, Roofers, AC men, Painters, Appliance men have all raised their prices. It never seems to end.
@@recycler60 in California there are always new environmental mandates with very expensive and costly to fulfill regulations. The politician’s pass them and don’t give a fig as to how much it’s going to cost the landlords to implement, but the people (tenants) who voted for those politicians will eventually have to absorb the cost themselves in rent increases. Of course they will complain and say we’re greedy, but they really only have themselves to blame lol…
In Boston, as one example, you need to .be making 75K to 100K as a starting point in order to live there. I live an hour from Boston, and we’re getting commuter rail next year, with developers from NYC and Boston buying up properties as fast as they can. I had the chance to move to Vegas in 2008 and passed on it.
Rental housing is a necessity and should have 100% government oversight. I own rental homes and I believe owners should be told what the rent will be for their property based on various factors and it should change yearly. The value of a rental unit should not be in monthly rental profits but from the eventual ownership of the property itself. But that's just my old school unselfish midwestern way of thinking.
@Jeff Scott, The last time the Government recently mandated how much private landlords can charge for rent, you weren’t allowed to charge anything at all. It was absolutely free with no evictions allowed and it still continues in LA to this day. You seriously should go see a Doctor about short term memory loss or Alzheimer’s. To have forgotten this quickly about the covid rent moratorium of the last 2 years.

I own 42 houses. Tenants that skipped rent during the eviction moratorium got a 40% rent increase. Those that paid during the moratorium received a 5% increase. Karma is a bi▪︎tch.
That seems reasonable to me! I am a tenant that paid rent entire time during COVID. Both my husband and I were unemployment for a period of time. How ever, we got the money together.

That’s what happens when you don’t pay rent on time or don’t pay at all just because the government condone it. Remember the landlord pays for mortgage too. It’s a two way street

Well since there is no rent control what did you think would happen? There's some greedy people out there that are going to take advantage whenever they see an opportunity. We should have had rent control yesterday but if it happens it will be years down the road with the way government moves so slow and by then it will be to late for many people.
So, you want no rent for 2 years and then you don't expect landlords to make their money back. Just because people are broke doesn't make them virtual. That house she's trying to live in os very expensive. Sorry not everyone can live in a house like that. Get jobs if you want that place.
@@Detailingcrazy free rent for 2 years? That would be nice but it's ridiculous. We moved here from San Diego about 5 months ago. I'm just going by the stories I see on the local news.

A landlord showing a Model house to many people everyday acting like it's for rent and charging people 25-90 bucks for an application fee. What a scam. I'm not making this up I saw it on the news. It's the same as price gouging. Store owners raising prices on essential products during bad times. There not saying all Landlords of course but the bad ones are definitely out there. Moving out here and finding a place was a real pain in the ass. I was a mover for 12 years so that definitely helped us. Trying to find a place was rough and now I hear it's even worse so I really feel bad for people.

Its been that way for decades wealthier people from California and New York moving in and native Nevadans moving out .

Really depressing stuff. Las Vegas is all I know, and soon I may have to say goodbye. My rent has gone up 40% in just 2 years. As a young parent it’s just to much. Raiders? Golden Knights? The A listers on The Strip? What a blessing eh? The vast majority of us pre October 2nd 2018 locals haven’t seen a second of it. We built this city, and can no longer afford to live here. Some of us aren’t here just for the events, or entertainment, but because we have our loved ones buried here. Alas Las Vegas is becoming just another Los Angeles suburb.
Yes, it is disappointing. You will probably see a significant price drop once interest rates reach a certain level, but it is probably going to take a couple years to get there. The Fed likes to raise rates in 1/4 point increments, meaning it will be slow sailing. I do think the state's and city's best days are behind them, though.
You should find a way to stay. Vegas is like the ugliest baby in the world - only a native could love living there. If you can make it through a couple of more years until the fools who moved there wise up to the horrendous summers and threat of drought, the prices will begin to come down again. There is no job market there that justifies the cost. Nor are the schools worth it.

If you’re a prospective first-time homebuyer hoping (or praying) home prices will decline in 2022, don’t count on it. If people are waiting for a price to decline, well, it’s not going to happen. Heading into the spring of 2022, mortgage rates have increased over a full percentage point and while purchase demand has cooled, it remains firm. Supply remains near record lows, so home price growth is expected to remain high through the spring homebuying season before cooling off later this year as mortgage rates continue to rise.

I lived in Las Vegas in the late 90's and paid $500 to $600 a month for a two-bedroom apartment for about three years. The last year I was there (1998-99) I moved to two-bedroom condo that I rented for $550 a month. When I first moved to LV and toured various apartment complexes, several times I left contact information and afterwards I was contacted by property managers who wanted to know if I was still interested in their apartments. Renters had the advantage back then.
Did you vote?
Exactly. I remember these days. Now those sam's units are priced at thousands of dollars, usually.
I had 1 bedroom 1,000 square foot apartment for $550 near Eastern and Tropicana back in 2000. that was nice. had no furniture but my lawn chair, tv, and Sega Saturn. It was glorious.
Thank you, Mom and Dad, for leaving me the house 100% paid off. I love you.
I moved to Vegas back in 2003 from Oregon & I couldn't believe that they didn't request any deposits. I don't believe I paid an app fee then either. Just first month's rent. The rent was very reasonable. Although it wasn't the best area of Vegas it was a gated complex, 2 swimming pools,, nice size units.. This was when Vegas was rated top 5 places to live. Crazy how it has changed, charges for everything now & the application fees are ridiculous. Although I moved back to Oregon a yr later from moving there I am taken aback by hearing what is taking place there now. Unfortunately it is everywhere that landlords have lost their damn minds & have no compassion.
Rent won't be reduced, same like gas price and groceries costs. Just stop buying unnecessaries things, reduce cable channels, ride public transportation, drink instant coffee instead of ground coffee, don't buy bread, eat fewer carbs food, more veggies, salads, fruit, and some protein.

@@JesusChrist2000BC This astronomically rent increase is new and won't last. The normal rent was to have a choice to rent according to what a renter could afford starting at $600 a month for a one-bedroom apt. not like it is now.

Yup..saw this coming from miles away...
Landlords always come up with an excuse to raise rent, most of the time it’s just greed or poor financial management. Usually there's a mortgage on the rental, so unless the landlord ran his/her behind down to the bank and took out a 2nd mortgage on it (then wants me to pay it back in higher rent for their choices) the overall rent shouldn't have increased so dramatically.
I worked and paid my rent on time during the “PLANdemic” and the landlord thanked me by raising rent $200 for a place that is getting older and older by the day. Property taxes don't justify that. Rip off!!!
Exactly 💯

No one is willing to raise the wages to meet the cost of living either, that is why it is also a problem. They claim jobs are easy to find, but now people have to live on the street when they work these jobs because the wages are the same as from 15 years ago?
In Florida many jobs have been eliminated entirely because of the minimum wage increases. Fruit stands out of business, they did not profit enough to pay more, it hurts business owners and customers. It's not because of greed or unwillingness, the small businesses just can't afford it. The money is not there, and if they raise prices to cover the new minimum they lose sales. The price of donuts at coffee shops has more than doubled. Many of the people crying about a "living wage" do not understand this basic principle, as if money doesn't have to be earned.

I live in NE Kansas where once upon a time it was very affordable. We moved from CA over 12 years ago. We bought a house outright so we have no mortgage payment. Rents have gone from around $500 a couple years ago up to $900+ today. Homes are selling, some within hours of appearing on the market. Anything under $140k usually won't last more than a few days. There was a lot of "Flippers" who came out here a couple years ago and started to drive the market up. If you're a blue collar worker there are a lot of jobs here and they pay very well. Manufacturers have moved here as well as distribution centers. Because of people quitting so frequently they are constantly hiring. As far as costs at the supermarket, they've been increasing although we're not experiencing a lot of shortages. The shelves are usually stocked. Except maybe the ramen noodles. Gas is almost $4. Half the people drive pickups, the dealerships have very few on their lots. A lot of people have moved here from other states so the infrastructure is suffering. We had some snow a few times which created a lot of potholes, more like craters. They won't be filled until the weather changes.

@@moonwolfdancer1103 I am from California too and a conservative. Moved to another western state .
Problem is Nevada has no rent control laws in Nevada. The state needs to address this issue or raise the minimum wages.
California has rent control. The issue with rent control is that new builders will never build affordable housing such as affordable apartments anymore. Because it doesn't benefit to do so knowing they won't be able to raise rent. So they build luxury apartments so they can start off charging a large amount that the regular person can't afford anyways. The only people it protects are those that already rent low but they will never be able to move out of fear of losing their rent protected apartment.
Rent control is not all it's cut out to be. That is why you don't see affordable apartments being built in California anymore. Rent start at 2500 for a 1 room apartment. How does rent control help?

Rental housing is a necessity and should have 100% government oversight.

The value of a rental unit should not be in monthly rental profits but from the eventual ownership of the property itself. But that's just my old school unselfish midwestern way of thinking.
@Jeff Scott, The last time the Government recently mandated how much private landlords can charge for rent, you weren’t allowed to charge anything at all.

That seems reasonable to me! I am a tenant that paid rent entire time during COVID. Both my husband and I were unemployment for a period of time. How ever, we got the money together.
Wow, you sound like a really awesome guy.
No you don't. If you owned that many houses you would not be on TH-cam commenting. You'd be busy with work. Stop trolling.
I paid faithfully and on time during the pandemic, my Property Manager only raised my rent by a hundred dollars, I live with in the foothills of Nor Cal next to Lake Tahoe where prices have exploded because everyone in the San Francisco Bay Area are taking over this area !
Our landlord increased us 25%. Never missed a payment in 7 years.
That’s what happens when you don’t pay rent on time or don’t pay at all just because the government condone it. Remember the landlord pays for mortgage too. It’s a two way street
And us in hawaii are moving there thinking it is soo cheap still.
Aloha!
All these people thinking sports and tech are good for your city WRONG!! This also company like Blackstone moving into housing for profit, like any big corporation they want growth year after year.
Exactly it’s horrible for city it just makes everything more expensive
Oh no families coming together? How horrible.
That's so funny. I had roomates and family sharing 1 bathroom growing up. Now people want to live alone. No wonder we ran out of units.
house prices up 19% rents up 18% but they are only increase 4.7% in the official CPI figures ?
High rollers will only live here!!!
Everybody that works on the strip should quit. That will lower tge rent I promise
Who will serve them?
LV used to be affordable. That’s why a lot of people moved there.
i wonder if this also has anything to do with the rich companies buying houses and price fixing higher?
Nope. It's all about the working poor receiving money during the pandemic. Come on property owners, amirite?
I left vegas cause of the brutal summers. Who would want to pay more to live in a place like Vegas?
Just as the price of homes has greatly increased so goes the rent.
Wages remain stagnant. The working man loses again.
Las Vegas IS ENTIRELY CORPORATE OWNED....THEY SUPPLY THE JOBS , APARTMENT COMPLEXES , AND RETAIL ALL ROLLED UP TO CREATE THE TRIPLE THREAT, ONLY AT Pizza Hut , HAVE IT YOUR WAY , IM LOVIN IT!!!
Well since there is no rent control what did you think would happen? There's some greedy people out there that are going to take advantage whenever they see an opportunity. We should have had rent control yesterday but if it happens it will be years down the road with the way government moves so slow and by then it will be to late for many people.
So, you want no rent for 2 years and then you don't expect landlords to make their money back. Just because people are broke doesn't make them virtual. That house she's trying to live in os very expensive. Sorry not everyone can live in a house like that. Get jobs if you want that place.
@@Detailingcrazy free rent for 2 years? That would be nice but it's ridiculous. We moved here from San Diego about 5 months ago. I'm just going by the stories I see on the local news. Landlords raising rent 200- 500 a month. Charging 75 a month for a refrigerator. 25 for a dryer. Or here's one of the worst ones. A landlord showing a Model house to many people everyday acting like it's for rent and charging people 25-90 bucks for an application fee. What a scam. I'm not making this up I saw it on the news. It's the same as price gouging. Store owners raising prices on essential products during bad times. There not saying all Landlords of course but the bad ones are definitely out there. Moving out here and finding a place was a real pain in the ass. I was a mover for 12 years so that definitely helped us. Trying to find a place was rough and now I hear it's even worse so I really feel bad for people. Moving is a hassle already but now there's the pressure of finding a place to buy or rent and dealing with scams. I'm rambling lol. Ok be safe. And yeah that's a good point about maybe she bit off more than she could chew, I've been guilty of that before.
@@Detailingcrazy who actually went 2 years without paying rent? No one I've heard of, and I was one of those laid off when this started. Still had to pay rent, so did everyone else I know.
@@Detailingcrazy who lived rent free for two years tf? Uh I paid rent during the pandemic I wasn't stupid to get behind. Was always on time on the first and still is
@Guitars rcool many people are still living rent free or full on subsidized. That's why shit is going up.
HOMEOWNERS INSURANCE HIGHER ALSO
Moving out of my 1300 a month nice condo in Henderson. Scared to see how high the price lists for.
You're living in a dream, now your about to face REALITY.
@@ROYALP100 lol huh?
@@ROYALP100 Have you actually Lived in Vegas? It’s No dream. Crime is high. School ranks 49th in Country. Crazy drivers!
Why do people live in vegas anyway? It's a desert. Nothing to sustain life, at least not enough for a city of this size. Get out while you still can. Oh, just be prepared, rent and housing costs are skyrocketing everywhere.
This is all thanks to the people that tried to take advantage and not pay their rent for months when the pandemic started. 🙄
Yup! Squatters ruined it for everybody 😒
Shyt was going up before the pandemic
We paid our rent on time every single month during the pandemic. Our rent still increased.
@@Kiyonce.Kartier same. I was never late. Just got my renewal letter and rent is going up $200 and there's a mandatory $25 reoccurring monthly fee for valet trash services 😑 😒 I've been walking my trash to the bin myself for the past 3 yrs no issue
@@Kiyonce.Kartier
Landlords have to pay increase insurance rate, increase property taxes, homes insurance, maintenance, etc, so yes, rent is going to go up to match market price.
For the past two years, with rent moratorium, renters didn't pay and lived for free, the ones that paid during the pandemic also suffers because of the ones that didn't pay. Landlords have to recoup their investment, no one can live for free, even landlords got bills to pay.
There's no moratorium for landlords mortgages, property taxes, etc.
No one can live for free.
The world owes us nothing.
It's a fallacy that things will never change or always remain the same. Rents are out of control now, but that doesn't mean they always will be.
Thanks for the comforting statement but rarely does any thing go down. IAM a homeowner , it's paid for. But I still have to pay home insurance, property taxes and HOA fees. Just those 3 things alone cost $40,000 in ten years time. The best goes on. Have a good day.
Lol I just got a email that my rent will increase by $200.
Time to buy
It is so illegal to raise rent 30 % to 33% . That is insane! California only 9% increase per year.
