Nationwide, renters spent US $ 4.5 trillion in rent during the years 2010, with US $ 512 billion in rent in 2019. Although rent is up 2.3% over last year, rent increases have slowed over the last part of the decade, according to Zillow.

"While the total amount of rent paid has increased each year this decade, that trend is not immutable," said Zillow Group economist Joshua Clark. "With rent appreciation expected to slow next year and a rate of homeowners rising in recent years, a small or even negative change in total rental spending could occur in the cards by early 2020."
