I’m no fan of landlords (I’m a renter myself), but costs have gone up for them as well. In my opinion, 5% is not too bad, considering the rate of inflation in the last 12 months.

Casa Romero in South Plainfield. They moved to a location on market street but it's the best I've had in a long time. The people who run it are all family and have built the business from a small restaurant to a pretty sizeable one with a bar now. Its a nice hidden gem and beats the chain places by a mile.

You could rent out at a profit and still cost the renters less monthly than if they went with a rentals business. Also, individual landlords can be more lenient when it comes to background checks and if there is a relationship even allow for late payments.

And not all people who rent are settling because they cant find homes. Many rent because of university or temporary job assignments.

There are also people who sell homes that need major work and will not be good for first time buyers. Someome whith a buy to rent plan can bring that home back to the market.
