The Rent Trap Your Landlord Is Using to Beat CPI
from Inflation Explained with Fexingo: CPI, Prices, and the Cost of Living for Everyday People · host Fexingo
Rent is up 6.2% year-over-year while CPI shelter shows 4.8%. Lucas and Luna unpack the gap: how landlords are using 'market-rate resets' and 'amenity fees' to push effective rents far above official inflation measures. With the Fed's preferred PCE core hitting 3.4% in May 2026, this episode explains why your rent check tells a different story than the government's inflation data — and what it means for the next rate decision. #RentInflation #CPI #PCE #Fed #Housing #ShelterCosts #InflationGap #LandlordStrategy #MarketRateResets #AmenityFees #CostOfLiving #CoreInflation #RateCuts #Economics #HousingCrisis #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #InflationExplained Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
