Recently there has been a drastic hike in rental homes in the area. Many speculate the local landlords are trying to take advantage of the gas and oil workers that have migrated to the Ohio Valley.We are personally outraged that local residents who work local jobs are suffering and cannot afford housing. Fair market value has become a thing of the past. Houses that rented for $400-$600 per month are now $1500-$2500 (and up!). The majority of these homes are older, non-renovated homes. Sadly, many of the landlords gouging the prices are business owners who the locals have supported for years. Let's stop this and expose these greedy people!
