Why Rents Don't Keep Up with Inflation
Rental demand is strictly limited by household incomes, which are not growing as fast as property values or the key rate. This creates a structural imbalance: rents cannot rise proportionally to the owner's costs of purchasing the apartment.
As a result, owners fall into a trap: selling the apartment for a profit is difficult, and raising the rent to a profitable level is impossible, as the tenant will simply move elsewhere.
The tenant is not just a housing user, but a recipient of a hidden subsidy from the owner, who cannot exit the asset.
Understanding this mechanism makes renting a tool for preserving your own cash while the real estate market looks for a new bottom.
