I saw a video on WMUR yesterday about a landlord explaining why rents were going up so fast in Manchester and he said that it's property tax increase and energy costs this past winter. Along with inflation in costs to maintain a property, both labor and materials. He said that a tenant left recently and he's refurbishing the apartment and will put it out for rent and he said that he expects thousands of applications for the apartment. Unless you have a hook for finding a place, it's tough out there.
