Renters nationwide are catching a slight break in their monthly payments, as Redfin data shows asking rents dropped for the third straight month in December.

Redfin reports that the median U.S. asking rent in September was little changed from a year earlier for the sixth straight month, with a rise in the number of rentals making it harder for landlords to boost prices.

A new survey from LendingTree revealed that in addition to rising mortgage rates and housing costs, approximately 39.79% of respondents cited rent increases as the primary reason why they felt pressured to move, followed by landlords not making repairs and living in unsafe neighborhoods.

According to a new Redfin survey, discrimination drove roughly 1 in 10 Black, Hispanic, and LGBTQ+ respondents away from their previous residences. In addition, some 32% of Black and Hispanic respondents reported facing discrimination during their recent home search, while 22% of LGBTQ+ respondents reported feeling the same.

According to a new report from Redfin, asking rents fell just 2% in the West but rose 5% in the Northeast and Midwest as supply increased and rents began to cool nationwide.
