Dear PoPville

“Basically, interested in whether DC folks are in fact seeing impacts of Covid on rental market?”

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

I’m wondering what people are seeing as far as whether the “rental bubble” in DC is, if not popping, at least deflating a bit. Currently apartment hunting and wondering if, perhaps without the normal influx of summer interns or fall students/new young professionals, prices will go down in any significant way. Don’t want to get locked into a lease with the normal outrageous rates if owners/property managers will start to bring prices down.

Basically, interested in whether DC folks are in fact seeing impacts of Covid on the rental market?”
