Rental prices are still spiking across Dallas-Fort Worth, and many renters simply can't keep up
By the time Beajae McMahan learned that her lease wouldn't be renewed, she says she had less than the standard 30 days to leave her home.
To make matters more challenging, she'll likely have to pay higher rent wherever she goes. At her current place, she pays $1,750 a month. Looking for a new spot, she has found rentals that go for $2,300–2,400."There isn't anywhere to go," she said. in average rental rates when compared with August 2021, while average rental prices in Irving, Denton, Frisco, Carrollton and Lewisville had all grown by more than 20% over the last year.Sandy Rollins, executive director of the Texas Tenants' Union, speaks with people like McMahan all the time. Many of those who reach out to Rollins can't find a place for less than $2,000 a month, she said, and when factoring in deposits, the amount they have to hand over up front can grow yet higher.
