Apartment hunting in Chicago is not for the weak

The housing market in Chicago is horrific. I mean rent has been very high for the last couple but it’s ridiculous right now

I have been looking for the past year because I have been dealing with a horrible neighbor and bad sewer smell, but everything I am finding is 20% higher for the same quality and worse.

From a data standpoint, the demand keeps rising and the supply is very low for Chicago which is a trigger for high rent prices. Chicago received a low rating for producing more housing opportunities and structures in comparison to other cities in the United States
