Metro Denver apartment rents rose in January, snapping a five-month streak of month-over-month declines, according to a new report from Axiometrics, a Dallas-based multi-family housing research firm. The increase wasn’t huge, just $6 a month, bringing the average effective rent, which includes discounts, to $1,365 a month in metro Denver. Rents rose at a 2.7-percent annual pace in January, an increase from December’s 2.3-percent pace.
