Glut of rentals is forcing owners to lower rents

Corbridge explained this trend earlier this month through a series of e-mail messages with Herald-Tribune staff writer Michael Braga.

Scott Corbridge says many people who have failed to sell homes have turned to renting homes out to bring in some cash.
