rent hikes
Rising housing costs
Rent hikes are increases in rental prices, typically imposed by landlords on tenants.
The phrase carries a negative connotation—nobody announces a rent hike they're happy about.
Tenants protested the proposed rent hikes.
The term appears frequently in discussions of housing affordability and gentrification.
