Paying rent is getting more expensive in Tulsa. The higher prices come as the market recovers since many properties didn't raise the rent during the pandemic. Statistics from Apartment List shows Tulsa rent prices have gone up more than eight percent in just a year, and up 1.2 percent over the past month. "I think they're on trend with what we're seeing in our economy across the scale,” said Tulsa Apartment Association Executive Director Keri Cooper. The Tulsa Apartment Association says it has seen a three to five percent increase with most of the members. Cooper said it all comes down to inflation and now, making up for the lost time.
