Covid was one of the core derivative factors that drove rental demand up. Home construction delays, renovations and work-from-home practices are just some of the aspects that lead to extended rental requirements.In this episode of Nuggets on the Go, Melvin Lim from PropertyLimBrothers will dive deeper into the reasons for this spike in rental prices, as well as talk about the potential outlook of the rental market. Will it taper off as rental supply increases? Especially with the slew of new launch projects TOP-ing this year.
