No, rents go up and down for reasons other than inflation.
- rory 5y agoThat is another type of inflation, but it's an interesting point that you may care about both the general consumer inflation rate (for its interaction with the mortgage interest rate) and the rent price inflation rate.
- stonemetal12 5y agoI just assumed the inflation rate was applied to both rent and house price, as a general change in the value of a dollar. While they mostly move in line together, rent prices and home prices don't always move together so a change in value term that effects one and not the other might be useful.
