#690 - Rent in the Inland Northwest is soaring, and tenants feel powerless to stop it

On July 1, Melody Deatherage arrived home after work to find a notice of rent increase on her door.

She'd been expecting a bump in rent, but this was far beyond what she'd imagined: an increase of over $500 a month, effective Sept. 1.

And if Deatherage, 65, refused to sign a lease under those terms, then Hilby Station Apartments would increase her rent again to $2,350 — double what she's currently paying.

Deatherage, who works in human resources for a nonprofit agency, says it left her without options. She can't move, since the vacancy rate in Spokane is so low. But paying an extra $500 alone is a significant change.
