Whoever is doing it needs to quit advertising these HIGH rent numbers on this forum or anywhere really. I know its interesting but it only gives landlords ammo to try to get higher rents. There are plenty of lower rents too but the tenants are understandably not going to talk about it so these discussions really skew things. Average rents just arent anywhere near the numbers being discussed. Even the Iowa cash rent survey posted on the thread just below this showing county averages says at the top of the column it is the average for high quality ground, so its not the average. Just quit having these extremely lopsided conversations, especially if you rent ground!
