I agree, rent is way to high for most people to afford, people are being forced into co-renting with others just to be able to have a place to live.
More and more apartment complexes are going up for sale because people would rather co-rent and rent a nicer place than live in a dumpy apartment complex with high rent by their selves.
Then theres the anal retentive landlord who doesnt want you to do this or do that ...will not rent to you if your last name starts with a C or your the wrong sun sign for the apartment..you know, kooks like that.
Something really needs to be done about the high cost of apartments and the landlord tenant laws need to be re-written to protect tenants from insane landlords.
