I would like to express my concerns about the rent gouging in the Flathead Valley. I know Montana does not regulate
what a renter can charge, but there should be a cap on it. Wages in Montana in general are lower than any other state
and throw that on top of the outrageous rent it's forcing good hardworking people out of here, and then wonder why
the service industry here is suffering from lack of employees. The state and this area can't function on the rich people
alone.
My rent went up $250/month, and I know of people whose rent has gone up more than that just because of greedy
landlords.
I would like to hear back from someone on this issue and I thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Tammy
