Florida ranks DEAD LAST for renters in the US, according to a new Consumer Affairs study.
The numbers are staggering: • Median rent: $1,669 (8th highest nationally) • Typical renters spend 37.4% of income on rent (highest in US) • That's well above the recommended 30% benchmark
"Rent is just like squeezing consumers' pockets left and right," Dayna Edens with Consumer Affairs said.
Looking for relief? North Dakota and Colorado ranked best for renters.
