The expected fall in rents<\/a> is another crucial aspect to explore. Several factors are contributing to the anticipated fall in rents. The increase in available rental properties, coupled with the government’s stringent property measures, is leading to a more balanced market. Additionally, the global economic situation and the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to play a significant role in shaping the rental landscape.<\/p>\r\n
