The Housing Crisis in Tehran: Young People Forced to Return to Their Parents Due to Rental Costs
According to a report by the channel خبرفوری ࡆ اخبارفوری مذاکره ࡆ جنگ فوری, which relies on data from the newspaper "Shargh", the relentless rise in housing prices in Tehran has created an impossible reality for many tenants. According to the report, "the unprecedented rise in housing costs has pushed many tenants into communal living, returning to their parents' home, and even abandoning the capital city."
The economic crisis is leading to drastic changes in living patterns in the city. The channels اقتصاد امروز and آخرین قیمت note that in many districts of Tehran, even long-term tenants can no longer bear the burden of payments. As a result, people who have lived independently for many years are now forced to look for roommates to share costs, or alternatively, to give up their independence and return to their parents' home.
Sociologists quoted in خبرفوری ࡆ اخبارفوری مذاקره ࡆ جنگ فوری warn that this phenomenon carries heavy psychological consequences: "Returning to the parents' home in middle age can be accompanied by a sense of failure and the loss of personal independence."
The rise in inflation rates and the consumer price index in Iran is worsening concerns for the future of the rental market. Facing this economic pressure, many families are now considering "reverse migration" and returning to smaller cities as a survival step in the face of the high cost of living in Tehran.
