Jennifer Ludden, an NPR reporter specializing in the rental market crisis, joins Carl Gershenson, Project Director of the Eviction Lab at Princeton University. They discuss the astonishing 15% increase in rental prices nationwide and the intense competition forcing renters into bidding wars. Ludden highlights how rising interest rates are pushing potential buyers into the rental market, heightening eviction risks. Gershenson explores the long-term challenges evictions create for finding new housing, especially among marginalized communities facing racial disparities.
