Will the coronavirus fallout effect rent prices? If so, how?

[TaraJo]

I'm imagining that they'll go down as house prices go down. But then again, if home owners lose their homes, where are they going to live

"renters won't get squat" could become "renters won't get "to" squat." or "renters will get to squat."

PS, I'm looking for a rental right now.

I got lucky, to be honest.  I was staying with my ex, he flipped out and started screaming at and threatening me.  I just happened to have a friend living nearby with a spare room.  I got moved in with her as of March 9 and like a week later, just about everything started shutting down.  If he was going off the deep end and I was stuck with him in quarantine, it would have turned REALLY ugly.  

Anyway, the original plan was to stay here a month or two, save up a little extra cash and then move out into a new place, but since everything is closed right now, it's difficult to look at other apartments; there are online tours and those help, but it's not the same as looking at them in person.  Meh.  I'm finding a few places online and, if I'm lucky, my job will be able to keep me working from home, which really opens up where I can work.  Then, once this all blows over, it's just a matter of getting moved.  

It's pretty rare to find an apartment in Tulsa for less than $450 a month.  Really rare to find any under $400, but they do exist.  I've seen one that keeps seeming to pop up, but the ads for it are always exclusively in Spanish.  I've seen a studio apartment or two available for less, but those would be a really tight fit for me.  And there are a few roommate situations that pop up here and there, but a big part of me always has anxiety about potential roommates being transphobic (I'm in Oklahoma so I think it's a reasonable concern).
