Comments about ‘Demand for rental housing in Utah soars’

Looks like living is becoming that much harder.

Looks like it's time for me to buy some rental property! :)

I have been a good tenant, paying rent on time in a corporate owned complex in Millcreek. My lease expires Nov 1.

Just received notice my rent will increase between 6-14%, depending on the next lease option I choose.

The sad fact is, as a retired military person, my annual cost of living increase has gone from 4% down, I say down, to 3.5% and my other income is minimal wage, at least not minimum. I make ends meet, trying to save to buy a home again down the road, put kids through college.

I think we will all will be homeless sooner rather than later so I am preparing to go off grid...I don't want to bite my tongue on this, and others should not either. Where is our 6-14% cost of living increase to balance the equation?
