Single households have it the hardest. These days you need two incomes to live almost anywhere.
King Luciano.....single households, no children, ...I'VE experienced that for me, that living within my means, saving money for emergencies( income tax refunds, overtime, pay/etc)....NOT having credit card debt, loans, expensive vehicle, or possibly working a PART time job or side gig...doing so, gives extra cushion for increased /unexpected expenses..
Yes, maybe two roommates. I just got $188 more a month. My last hike was $10. 14 months ago. They made up for it. Omg. I waiting to see if they approve much less but doesn't seem likely......I hear it's greed.
Very very true. I just got a $188 hike. I told them what will be next time. I will be priced out! She says it will stabilize. At what? So if they make a one bedroom apt $2000. That is many peoples total salary. ???? Ugh one day at a time.
Two incomes people are still struggling as well. U really need a small business these to keep up with the cost of living in America. Because the cost of living done out price jobs. Unless you have a top professional career. Jobs today will have u homeless and starving as well.
FACTS
People moving from California and New York and all those other expensive states think this nothing. They will gladly pay those rates. Remember they pay about $5,000 average for a studio apartment. So this is nothing to them. But US LOCALS SUFFER!!! 😟
How can that be nothing to New Yorkers the pay rate is different in other states..so it's a pay cut and now still mayb running into the same issue.
@@empressleesa2252 I respectfully disagree most come to Texas with high salaries already in place with their employer. Taxes are lower and many other benefits come with moving to TX. Those who can afford to move do so for a better and cheaper living.
$5K for a studio?! Where? I live in Silicon Valley and I think you're exaggerating just a little (or a lot!).
They may in fact she'll out more dough; but $5,000 for a studio is a bit of a stretch😂🤦🏽♀️
@@vagabondaloner5650 for real in the bay area a studio would only be around 2900 max
To all Californians and New Yorkers: TEXAS IS FULL! WE ARE AT CAPACITY! Please stop moving here! I heard great things about....South Dakota. Yea thats it South Dakota. Its so cheap with no state income tax either. Go over there instead, please.
Thank you so much for letting them know 😂😂
I still don't understand why they keep moving down here when the crime is going up like crazy!! I want to move out & these people coming over here doesn't make it any better
@@AlmaMartinez- Because they didn't do the proper research. People are told how affordable Houston is and all the jobs we have. For some reason, they didn't check the uptick in crime. That uptick is now reaching the precious suburbs. The affordable COL, which is no more. My neighbor from Chicago said our crime is reaching his city's levels and he regrets moving here. He said we also pay less than his hometown, which makes the higher rents unbearable. He only been here 9 months and is shocked. He thought Houston was safe and family friendly. Where he got that idea from, I dunno.🤔

That's why I moved.

This is all over
Everywhere
It’s hard to live with one income under one roof these days. Society isn’t built for that anymore with the rising cost of everything. Sometimes even with two incomes it’s still a struggle. I’m a small time landlord and local Houston infill lot developer. Rising property taxes are making affordable rent impossible. I haven’t raised rent in years but now I have to continue to make things work. Construction material is through the roof so it’s literally impossible to build affordable housing without free money/land or both from the government.
Society is literally pricing out people. Society is supposed to be for the people, but some how its against it.
I just leased out my 3/2/2 fully remodeled house in Spring for 1685. I will not raise their rent if they are good tenants and take care of the place. This damn inflation is ridiculous and I feel so sorry for us all. Thanks to all the 10 trillion dollars the government printed for COVID relief. I knew this was gunna bite us in the a$$ one day.
Yep, people were out here spending it. No free lunches
Even if taxes increase?
@@joyaustin6581 we've gone a yr or (sometimes 2 yrs) without raising rent at renewal if they were "good" tenants(paid on time, didn't tear up our house, etc). If taxes increase by a minimal amount(of course that's relative across the country), we can suck it up, that's y it's common to rent above the actual mortgage amount. Landlords have to consider things wear out over time or break. Sometimes it's tenants fault, but typically it's wear and tear as homes do eventually age, things have to be replaced. Also, another plus of course, is a profit. It's like an investment/business. But at the same time, we are very fair
Things were inflating way before the relief payments. Start coming at the corporate mf that makes the prices rise why tf are tagging on your fellow American for getting relief? That’s why y’all scrambled now! Get a grip people needing help isn’t the reason prices rise. I bet you a Republican or trashy holier than thou liberal. Either way. Capitalism is why. Start loving your fellow human ass
Yeah let’s focus on the average person getting money and not the rich who refuse to be taxed.
Lmao you are a sheep.
Rents in Vegas have went up 30% in one year. Landlords in Vegas have been questioned as to why they have raised their rent and they said simply because they can. It has nothing to do with raising taxes or insurance rates. Our insurance rates haven’t went up at all and our taxes have went up very little on our properties here in Nevada there’s no excuse for it other than greed.
Greed! Greed! Greed! They can raise rent, leasing fees to the Stratosphere if they want and they the slum lord's know it. They will get a new tenant if old one moves out at any price! $3000 for 1 bedroom apt. in Las Vegas Nevada is now very possible, and probably way more in nicer clean HOA neighborhoods. No tenant laws there to protect any renter, leasee from getting gouged! Lived there from January 1978 to September 2011 and my rent for that same apt. went from $150 a month with all utilities paid to $800 a month with no utilities paid in 2011! Not any greed there yet then. Now, it's a free for all for greedy slumlord's. Good bye and good luck to all paying those back breaking rents there. $9 a gallon gas coming soon in late May.
First of all the eviction moratorium hit many landlords. There were a lot of no boating tenants. Landlords lost money as they still have to pay for mortgage property taxes, maintenance, etc…. Additionally, property taxes have gone up, insurance went up, repair costs including part cost went up. All this is due to eviction moratorium. The eviction moratorium should have been handled better.
@@senster45 yup, that is truth too. Another reason or reasons to hike up rents. Owners expenses always have gone to the renter's, tenants, leasees as rent hikes! Nothing new there. Good luck all, $9 gallon of gas coming this summer.
@@senster45 So, none of these Landlords got the PPP nor the EIDL grants or loans. I call bs. P.S. I paid my rent on time throughout all of this, so don’t try to come for me on that note.
@@april_dawn sure some landlords did but you can just look at state statistics. Only a small percentage has been paid out in many states therefore many landlords who applied with tenants have not yet seen funds. Just look up the numbers. Of course this does not include the tenants that refused to apply for state funds let alone those tenants that do not even qualify for state funds yet they got to live free without proof oh hardship. Eviction moratorium was handled poorly.
Even a little Debbie snack cake that weighs 2 oz is $1.69 at a corner store.. I put it back I remember when they were 25 cents... 🤺
Yes chips too. You could get four snacks for a buck 😧
Stop moving to Texas !!😩
Say it louder for the people in the back!!
My rent in Utah went up 18% from last year --and thats after downsizing to a smaller place!
Is ridiculous living in Houston.
Apartments are too expensive like we living in New York
Can’t believe even a city like Houston is seeing booming rents…
People r moving there like crazy.
"Even a city like Houston" What are you talking about? All of Texas is booming especially the big cities DFW, Austin, Houston.
@@finalchapter24k even with so many people moving to Texas over the past 20 yrs, rent has never jumped so high within a span of a year or two. Most I experienced was $25-50/month. Now it's probably going up $100-300/yr
All cities across America have rents increases it is universal.
Landlords taking advantage of the higher paying people from California, especially those working with big tech. Look at LA and SF. Unfortunately they don’t care about the middle working class people.
Adulthood is very tough right now.
Now imagine the cost of living in los angeles lol
My friend pays $1000 for a studio in koreatown
@@tybarker5038 he does? that’s hella cheap. Good for him.
LA 😎
I’m tired of the price increase excuse… “High demand” “ Housing shortage” as a reason to throw prices up! Then have requirements like x3 rent, no evictions, etc. Why would a middle income(3k+)/college graduate want to live in a crap neighborhood ?!?! High crime, pathetic schools etc.
Where is the justification and reason behind this ?
It’s odd that most of these areas still have people who want to move to them.
Because they work closely by
That is a landlords criteria. That’s standard. That’s how we can have a better chance of getting a paying tenant. I would never accept anyone with an eviction because it meant - they refused to leave or work with landlord. NEVER!
Guess the lower income people need to bunk up and room up with friends and family. People have done this forever. You do not hear people from other countries complain about it so much. They know the benefits of family generations living together and thinking and planning smarter.
Our families also don’t make this an option … a lot of Americanized parents don’t care what you have to deal with financially and believe as an adult you should have your own place and be able to take care of yourself / live alone
Not right. Americans should be able to afford a home by themselves. We need rent control.
@@weekendnomad5038 They are right! What? Are you going to live w/ your parents forever. Being an adult. Means responsibility. Are you waiting for a man or somebody to take car of you?
Some people... Because you are so privileged and had a silver spoon in your mouth doesn't mean you can frown on poor people. This for the person who says get a job with responsibility. This earth will perish soon because people don't care about nobody that's poor and struggling
@@vonchow185 Everything they said went over your head.
It's so odd to me that the demand is so high in such a terrible place. I'm dead serious. Anyone who wants to live there is beyond my understanding. Wow. You could not pay me to live in such a dangerous place.
I really don't get it.
sheer desperation of trying to survive. Rent refugees.
It’s being done on purpose to segregate an area.
I’m frustrated because I’m probably gonna be living at my moms until my thirties because I just can’t afford this crap 😡
good idea, save up bank and be ready to pounce when an affordable home does pop up so you can buy it.
@@eckankar7756 I just don't feel like that is ever gonna happen
@@blazingphoenix1000 I wanted a home so I went to school so I could make more. I was a convince store clerk and became a hairdresser. That worked for me, I hop you can figure out what you would like to do and invest some time becoming more so you can earn more.
Now everybody who moved to Texas a year ago are hurting damn 😂
Texas wanted CALIFORNIA'S high tech companies and now it got all the high rent and housing affordability problems at NO EXTRA COST....
Landlords will take the loss of a good tenant for a profit.
In south FL the average one bedroom is now 2000 due to inflation. Because so many people from California and NY are moving here and working remotely.
14% is not that bad,here in Miami the rent increased 60%
It's called gouging not inflation. Plenty of empty lots no one can afford.
arizona went up a whole 88% from 900-1800 dollars and thats depending on where u live some places is over 2300 dollars and thats for a one bed room
Landlords and apartment complexes have become the biggest criminals in the past few years.

Finding a congruent roommate ain’t easy. They better increase their police force making suggestions like that because anyone that I’ve ever spoken to that had a roommate it was ALWAYS some bull crap involved. Home should be your safe, peaceful haven not a place where you come home and ya roommate has gone through your belongings, or didn’t clean up after themselves etc or having questionable company over..no thank you.
I was a police officer back in the mid 2000’s. Pretty much all the domestic calls I went on involving roommates was one of the roommates, family member(s) or friend(s) who come come to visit starting issues with the other roommate.
Right@ Jacquelynn
That's why I never had a roommate when I was young and renting. I was poorer, but the peace of mind made up for it.
@@michaelmullin7941 right! Can't bunk with any or everybody. On top of that, the company they keep may even be more of a problem 😏😒
A friend of mine took in a roommate to help make ends meet. His roommate was a older gentleman from South Africa who was working as a substitute teacher. He was renting a room only charging him $400 dollars a month. Everytime it was rent time there was an emergency. He had to leave town suddenly, or he was sick, or someone died. Literally, several member of his family passed away suddenly back to back, month after month, right when it was time to pay rent. My friend is a nice guy and even let the man close out his storages and bring his remaining belongings in the house. The guy was a hoarder. He had his old broke down cars towed to the house and begged my friend to let him put them under the garage (because the HOA wouldn't alow them out with flat fires and not working). He said he would have them repaired in one week. One week turned into two years. He had the entire garage loaded with a brokedown car and boxes and clothes. He had the kitchen loaded with stuff from wall to wall. I was sent a picture of the inside of his bedroom and he had the room filled wall to wall where you had to turn sideways to get through. I was shocked. Completely shocked. Finally my friend told him to remove the car. You couldn't even sit in the car. It was filled to the top with clothes. He begged for a few days. He refused to allow himself to be served paperwork to remove the car and belongings from the garage. Finally my friend had the car towed. With all his clothes in it. It was a violation of his lease. But I told my friend that he allowed the lease to be altered when he let the man move all his crap in. Just wow. His hoarding roommate took over the entire house for $400 a month. I told my friend that he is only paying for one room and he should only have one room. Roommates are the worst.
These days it's not safe to get a roommate.
It’s the only way to not be homeless…
,@@tybarker5038 I understand it just seems like most people can't be trusted anymore. But I understand it's the only way for a lot of people. I've been rooming with of my son right now and honestly don't see a way out any time soon. We only came to prevent him from losing his apartment after he was in a serious accident and could not work. But with the cost of everything going up I don't see us leaving anytime soon.
After that Netflix series you might be right 😭
I was considering a roommate, my rent has went up. I vowed to never have another one but since this pandemic, I’ve changed my mind. So much isolation has effected my mental health.
I will never have a roommate ever again.
I'll work 2 or 3 jobs or sell dr*gs. Lol
People are getting more poor every year, it wasn't like this 20 years ago, also requirements are more strict, no dogs, no more than 2 ppl per bedroom, etc. I heard many horror stories about renting, good luck everyone
Dogs tear up ya ish. Ppl too, but dogs, kids, sorry nasty tenants.. .something gotta give, typically landlords say no to dogs.

@@malenaferina but that's the thing, they all claim to be responsible, until your stuff is torn up. Luckily we've never had those type of tenants. But we've seen many unlucky landlords. It's a clause in our contract, no animals, unless fish.
@@CeeSparks my neighbors had damage from renters $5000, no deposit will cover that, am selling my first house i refuse to rent it out now I will invest in comercial building or more land

Absolutely 💯👍
Average rent in Austin Texas right now is $1700 a month and climbing fast.
Damn
Congress just gave themselves a 12% raise. Do your research.
Thats all that increase was. Nothing to do with who's moving to Houston. There is a law that only the 1% or property owners are aware of which allows them to profit from rent control in California. Houston is leaning towards that direction. Very evil.
Their office budgets increased 21%, but their pay has been frozen since 2009.
Whyyyy is this happening
Lazy voting all Democrat. Soros got his Latin girl in and now it's arkham.
Crooked politicians and corporations making deals with each other or picking fights with each other.

If you’re not frustrated, you aren’t paying attention
Thank your local Democratic voter
No the Selfish Republicans Texas is a red state dummy
Yeah I’m up in Oregon, the rent up here is $1650 - $3500 pending where you live. It’s happening everywhere, what I’m noticing is when Californians move up here - they drop cash on home or rent like it’s nothing. I personally know several who sold their homes for high 6 figures then said bye we’re moving to Texas, Tennessee, Kentucky- they’re doing the exact same thing but in those states. Buying up homes with cash or able to afford the rental asking price.
Yep, story of a Texan too.
Yep that's happening in TN! Lots of people from out west buying whole neighborhoods. My old apartment was 575 in 2018 when I brought my house. Now the apartments are 950 a month! Cheaper to own than to rent!!!
@@wwater443 it’s a sad reality. We’ve got people here who are struggling to make ends meet yet they keep raising rents, housing prices are honestly so ridiculous. We already have a HUGE homeless problem up here, it only adds to it.
looks like we all need to start investing in some rental properties and other ventures.
Anybody paying 3500 for rent! is you stupid you could easily get a mortgage for less than that
She is wrong about one thing- they would not rather keep any tenant at a lower rate. They'd rather find a new one at a higher rate. They don't have to pay to find them when they are lined up at the door.
right, the first thing they say "the increase is non-negotiable"
Yup and they take penalties for kicking the old one out. Win win money money
true.
Tent cities popping up everywhere
Damn shame. Elections have consequences
we are all going to be homeless soon. This situation is insane
It’s been 2 years since I’ve been In Austin and every corner even 20 miles out of the city are giant apartments. I remember Austin had much more green spaces and more affordable rent and housing. It’s also sad to see my home city Houston go through the same problem.

I have 5 rental units, not raised rent in 6 years. All my tenants are retired. 2 of the 5 tenants decided to jump on the moratorium bandwagon and not pay even though they've not worked in a decade and still have their Social Security and investments. I'm out $31,000 due to these two. I couldn't wait to finally evict them. I am raising rent 10%, it will take many years to make back what I lost in the moratorium. Tenants forget that millions didn't pay rent for 2 years, now it's time to pay the backlash
No. That's the wrong way to think about all of this. Renters and owners pointing fingers at each other won't solve this crisis. This world is whacked out, way too much craziness everywhere right now. I'm sorry you lost out some money, I know you have bills too and property taxes. I'm a renter who did pay my rent even though I was out of work for a year. I didn't get relief for months, I'm lucky I only lost a few thousand dollars after it was all said and done. The way things are going, I'm very nervous we will see something akin to the French Revolution because the class divide is so severe and the working class has been wiped out under all the inflation on everything. All it will take is the weather to get hot and a few TH-cam videos of starving Americans dying off in tent cities across the country. It's scary how close so many are right now to that point. If things keep going the way that they are what's coming will make the Summer 2020 riots look like a playground altercation during the 4th of July.
I was raised that you ALWAYS pay your rent/mortgage, first!....because You need a roof over your head and also it maintains your good rental history or credit!...I'm retired from State Service (which is taxed by the federal government) and receive Social Security retirement. ...I downsized my life about 15 years ago, live nice but simple, debt free, healthy, spirtual!.....I find that it's IMPORTANT to save money for emergencies!...(my income tax refunds, extra money each month, etc)...OTHERS can get a part-time job, side gig, overtime, etc.......This is what I did for 10 years preparing for my retirement....If I need to, I will go back to work a few days a week if the situation calls for me to do so!...I just love living a simple, debt free life!...it's more peaceful, hopeful, better sleep and health!

If their going to do something about rent control they they better get to it, before things get even worse.
As some or many moving from any states for cheaper times it causing states to fill up to make rent go up due to moratium and other reasons.
When I bought my first house (a total fixer) the monthly mortgage payment was 16% higher than the monthly rent payment. It was a stretch but I decided to take the jump into home ownership.
If you keep renting, the longer you rent, the more you're going to lose. Find a way to get out of renting, even if it means reinventing yourself. You're not getting any younger.
Stop renting apartments!!!
And do what smartypants?
Texas banned living in a tent so good luck.
If you can not afford the rent then you need to move. Or move to a cheaper area of the country
Maybe now you'll quit voting blue no matter who, it has devastating consequences..
The zooning department made it so hard to build from scratch and of the grid the cheapest way possible. You can not live on your own land in a camper, single trailer or in a tent. It would have to be a newer version of double wide manufactured house or a brand new house from the ground up. Wherever you buy land please check with their zoning department.
We live in North Carolina and were planning to retire due to age but I my job comes with a apartment and when I retire I have to look else where for housing. Our social security is not enough to live on but we had saved enough to by an acre and build two or 3 Tiny homes also to help
Normal people were expecting the loss of electricity 😊😊😊
People come on thats not fair ,yall go buy yall own land get a Doublewide Trailer
It’s not gonna get better if you keep voting for the people that you vote for. The problems are they do not let the builders build, do you think we don’t wanna build we do but the government is in our way every step of the way. we on average build 1.2 million new units of year and we need 3.4 million units a year just to keep up with the population increase and this has been going on for a few years now so you can see even if we started building tomorrow it will take years to catch up because we have C minus students running our country things are only gonna get worse
I pay $500 a month for a thousand square foot half house with my water included 😂😂😂😂😂
The middle will eventually cease to exist because wages aren't keeping pace with inflation.
One big part of the problem: LANDLORDS. LANDLORDS. LANDLORDS.
Landlords have to pay tax insurance property upkeep. If you own your own home you would understand nothing is free. Just pay your own way and quit crying about it.
Give them tents for free they can stay at crooked mayor lawn.
Landlords have to pay rising costs of taxes, Insurance,etc. Many landlords have lost their properties over the last 2 yrs because of the momerantum. Renting out a home doesn't mean the house is paid off. If tenants don't pay, landoors have to come out of pocket(again, if a loan is still owed It isnt paid off) .
Have expenses gone up? You can be sure that any increase in expenses and any uncertainty about future gov't interference (moratoriums) will be reflected in the rent, along with any past due money that wasn't paid. The problem is 'gov't, gov't gov't.
@@77barree I find it hilarious how these landlords buy expensive houses and then whine about the cost of maintaining them. It baffles me that you guys would defend something so foolish. Instead of, you know, allowing people to buy the homes themselves- which would cost the landlord $0 - they snatch up the properties anyways, rent it out to people for a ridiculous (borderline scam) price, and then whine and cry about things being expensive.
If a landlord can't handle the expenses, they can easily NOT BUY EXPENSIVE PROPERTIES, and get a normal job like the rest of us. Landlords aren't the ones building these damn houses. They dont HAVE to buy/maintain these properties. They do it because they want to leech off of other peoples hard earned paychecks. They don't deserve my damn sympathy
Oh Dallas is worse, that’s cheaper than Dallas
No more eating out no more vacations no more expensive phones
Carefully constructed destruction.
