Lauren Boston is the Staff Writer for
units magazine at the National Apartment Association. When she’s not covering breaking industry news and ongoing trends in the apartment industry, Lauren writes a weekly blog about her experiences as a renter. Whether it’s getting locked out on her apartment balcony (twice), avoiding socially awkward men at community events or finding a way to fit a 64-count box of pudding cups in her hallway closet, she’s got the inside scoop on what renters really think.
