Let's talk about renting in Marin:
🏠 38% of households are renters
💵 The median monthly rent is $2,096, compared to $1,614 statewide and $1,097 nationally
💰You'd need to make $68.33/hour to afford a modest two-bedroom apartment
👷The average renter makes $23.23/hour
There is no rent control in Marin County, which means renters are one unexpected rent increase away from being forced out of their homes & our communities. If you live in Marin sign this petition to tell our elected officials that we need rent control: https://t.co/c6LGGpLxL9
