There's news about rent going up! In some places, rents might rise between 5% and 16%. This depends on where you live and how big your home is. Some cities may have higher increases than others. If you live in a smaller home, the changes could be less. Bigger homes might see a bigger rise. Why does this happen? Well, sometimes when more people want to rent homes, prices go up. It’s like if everyone wanted the same toy at the store - the price might go up because of the demand! Now, there’s also something important about birds. There’s a sickness called bird flu. In Ohio, one person got sick from working closely with birds that were sick. But don’t worry! Experts say the risk to most people is low. People working with birds need to be careful. They should wash their hands, clean their tools, and be sure not to let wild birds come close to their farms. It’s also safe to eat cooked chicken. Cooking food well makes it safe to eat! If you see sick birds or find dead ones, you should tell an adult. They can call the right people to help. It’s always good to let someone know! So, remember: rents might be changing up a bit. That means people need to be prepared for that. Also, be careful around birds and always wash your hands. If anything seems wrong with birds, make sure to ask for help. Being safe and smart is very important!
