Apartment Rents Rise as Incomes Stagnate
Apartment Landlords Continue to Push Through Hefty Rent Hikes in the Second Quarter


Apartment landlords continued to push through hefty rent hikes in the second quarter, squeezing U.S. households that already are struggling financially after four years of steady increases.


The average monthly rent for an apartment rose to $1,099 in the second quarter, up 0.8% from the first quarter, according to data to be released Wednesday by real-estate research firm Reis Inc. REIS +0.35% That was the 18th consecutive quarter of rent increases. For the 12-month period ended in June, rents rose 3.4%.

Effective rents—which tend to be lower than asking rents—were up in all 79 U.S. metro areas tracked in the Reis report. West Coast cities that have been the model of recovery continued to top the list of highest rent growth for the quarter and over the past 12 months.
