Rent Gouging Warned as Rates Rise in Defense Areas
Washington reports federal authorities urge landlords to restrain rent hikes to reasonable levels or face action.

Karl Borders, rent expert, says the stabilization program targets rapid worker and soldier family inflows where construction lags. A survey across 44 defense areas shows acute high rents in smaller communities and widespread rises in major defense hubs, listing cities such as Camden New Jersey Seattle Birmingham Gary and others in shipbuilding aircraft munitions and steel sectors.
