Milwaukee Renters Sought for WPR Story on Renter-Friendly Market

Milwaukee rental market now “renter friendly” A recent report from Realtor found that Milwaukee is now renter friendly. The report found that the city’s vacancy rose from 4.9% in 2024 to 10.8% last year, “promising tenants more options and greater negotiating power.” I’m a reporter with WPR working on a story about this report and would love to talk to someone who is looking for an apartment now or who recently signed a lease for a rental. Looking to hear more about your experience and your thoughts on the report. If you’d like to chat, shoot me an email at: [email redacted]
