ApartmentAdvisor analyzed 98 major cities across the U.S. to rank the most renter-friendly.
Renter friendliness and renting quality scores were determined by demand, vacant rates, tenant protection laws and new residential construction. The desirability score is based on public transit and entertainment, while the economic score was determined by analyzing the median income-to-median rent ratio, rental property price trends, and unemployment rates.
Of the 98 cities ranked, Raleigh had the second-highest number of permits for new privately owned housing units per capita in the metro area, according to the report. It proves the city is trying its best to keep up with the demand for its housing market. Huntsville, Alabama, ranked as the No. 2 most renter-friendly city in the U.S. It had a renter-friendliness score of 64.86, a renting quality score of 61, an economic score of 89.9, and a desirability score of 22.6.
