But at least I only needed to pay one deposit(money that will come back after I leave). After I left, I didn’t know that shit was illegal but I know there’s still a lot of places like that.

I'm from OKC. There are still some great rent prices, some are in even in good parts of the city. For example, $650 for a 3 bd 1 bth brick house, don't know the SQ footage in Bethany. $550 or $750 all bills paid, for a 2 bd 1 ba, it's a pretty decent size. They are quite well maintained. Of course, some are higher, but a lot of them are affordable rentals. I moved to Colorado Springs a little over a year ago. The rent is so outrageously high with high additional charges and unreachable requirements that have to be met in order to qualify to be approved to rent anything. The SQ footage of some of the apartments that rent for at least $1200/ mo, which is one of the lowest rental rates, is 625 SQ ft. I have seen SQ FT less than that, about 550 SQ FT, $900+. I still haven't found anything I can afford or qualify to rent. I have been living out of my JEEP since about 2 weeks after I got here. I am moving out of CO as soon as possible.
Ugh, I'm paying $1,200 before utilities for a shoebox that can't possibly be up to code - last I checked it can't legally count as a bedroom if there's no window in it for example.
Wow..I need to move there. In baltimore city u can only rent a room in a house for that price. Sharing the kitchen, laundry, bathroom and living rooms.
I had a friend who lived on Wall Street in nyc (like literally) and before she moved in she was required to get $1 million dollar renter's insurance...I never had the courage to ask how much her rent was. her parents were paying, naturally.
I understand landlords require some profit but this is ridiculous. As a leftist I'll always be fighting for rent control. This is outrageous. We can and should do better. It's very simple. The vast majority of rental units are not luxury nor fancy and they should be affordable.
The issue in our area is ridiculous increases to property taxes. The property taxes are where the money for schools comes from, the theory being that homeowners are the ones with school age kids. This is no longer true. The property taxes have doubled in the last few years, and the landlords (including the corporations who own the apartment complexes) don't want to reduce their profits, so the increase is tacked on to the rent. I have a one bedroom in the ghetto- drug dealers are two of my neighbors, and if you want crack you just have to go up to the front of the complex, and I pay just under $2000. In Austin, Texas.
@@christinapalafox yes I find it nonsense that public schools are funded solely by property taxes. Many families rent, usually by necessity. Schools should be funded by steeper taxes on big business, some local taxes, and more federal funding. You are right - excessive prop taxes are no doubt a significant factor in high rents. Yet another reason for property tax control as well as rent control. I'm sure we can do better than what we're doing currently.
My company decided they wanted to get all their employees into the office a few days a week, and tried to force me to move to Manhattan. I don't think many of them had ever lived anywhere else, the director was like "don't worry about housing, I know this great place, separate bedroom and a little loft space your son can sleep in, only $4k a month, it's great" And his face when I was like "dude I have a 5 bedroom house with a private driveway and a big yard for literally half that. It's so much cheaper for me to fly in once a month..." I honestly do love the city but I don't know how anyone actually LIVES in Manhattan.
As a Canadian, this is what hunting for a box, sorry apartment looks like in TORONTO! hahah as a matter of fact, adjusting for income, local currency, and living expenses, Toronto is more expensive than NYC lol
Same problem with Vancouver, Canada but the salaries being really bad amplifies the problem even more. You can find around C$20,000-30,000 salary difference per year on same position between Toronto and Vancouver with Toronto being the one that pays more, which makes Toronto housing issue even more acute because majority of all immigrants who come to Canada choose to stay in Toronto and GTA for job prospects.
I had a camp counselor who lived in NYC the year we had camp online (yes it did suck, yes it was worth it to be w everyone) and they HATED IT. they said they felt like they were in a coffin.
