Do you mean at this moment in time because of Covid, or in general?
Because in general, there have been easy-to-find examples in the past couple decades of rents going up 5-10% every year for folks in certain places with aggressive landlords. Were they willing to pay 5-10% more suddenly in year n+1, or were they charged less than the maximum they would've been willing to pay in year n?

Obviously different people are willing to pay different amounts, but everyone wants to pay as little as possible. As more people want to move in the least wealthy are pushed out and prices increase. After all, rental price is the highest price landlords can take in order to rent out all their units.
