Chicago Tribune Declares It's a "Renter's Market"

Today's business section of the Chicago Tribune declared its a "Renter's Market" in Chicago.  Here's a link to the story in case you missed it.   "Landlords are lowering rents as they try to fill vacancies and cover their costs."  In short, citing research from DePaul University's Institute for Housing Studies, the paper announced that vacancy rates have increased significantly throughout the city putting pressure on the smaller landlord.  Rising unemployment is cited as the biggest reason, although the DePaul study also says that  the best renters are being lured into the sales market by historically low prices and the government's $8,000 tax credit.
