bérnyomás

Bérnyomás is a Hungarian term that translates to "rent pressure" or "rental pressure." It generally refers to a situation in the housing market where the demand for rental properties significantly outstrips the available supply. This imbalance leads to increased competition among renters, pushing rental prices upwards. Factors contributing to bérnyomás can include a growing population, increased urbanization, a lack of new rental property construction, or a higher proportion of people choosing to rent rather than own. The consequences of bérnyomás can be a decline in housing affordability, making it difficult for individuals and families, especially those with lower incomes, to secure suitable accommodation. This can lead to increased housing insecurity and potentially impact social mobility. Addressing bérnyomás often involves policies aimed at increasing housing supply, such as incentives for developers to build more rental units, or measures to stabilize rental prices.
