[...] People in D.C. are increasingly less interested in owning cars. The Washington Business Journa

I experienced this trend myself last fall when my Columbia Heights rent rose $40 from the previous year's rent. And that was with some negotiating! First, we had to point out to the landlord that the hike she proposed didn't entirely adhere to city policy. holland america cruise ship Her instincts were correct in asking for more though. Washington holland america cruise ship has the "second-best apartment rental market in the U.S., with rental income down less than 1percent," according holland america cruise ship to Forbes.
Dallas-based Axiometrics' latest survey of 13,000 rental-property managers was unsettling: Rental "revenue holland america cruise ship per available key" fell 4.1% in the first quarter.

Another important thing to consider when looking at a measure such as 'rental income per key' over time is that you have to examine very carefully how the data provider adjusts for changes in apartment quality over the time series. Particularly in cites like DC, where many older buildings converted to condos and many newer buildings reverted to luxury rentals, the quality of rental composition has been quite dynamic. Failure to adjust for the increase in the quality of rentals will understate the true fall in rental income.
Anecdotaly, we knocked 15% off the asking rent when we moved to a larger apartment last year, largely because there were so many vacant rentals the landlord was eager to make a deal. That's certainly a different market than when I moved to DC seven years ago, when the vacancy rate hovered around 0.5% and I could barely get landlords to return a phone call.
