The pandemic has created a new kind of tired landlord in 2021. Historically tired landlords
were property owners who had some good tenants yet had enough bad tenants which drove
them to sell their properties. This week the Center of Disease Controls announced yet another
extension to the eviction moratorium.
One in Four Tenants is Behind
It is estimated that of approximately 23 million rental units in the US, approximately 6 million renters are past due on their rent payments. With rents past due on nearly 1 in 4 units, landlords are unsure how they will recapture what is owed to them.
The truth is, it’s unlikely that they will.
Post-pandemic landlords are a whole new kind of tired after over 12 months of eviction halts.
This begs the question – has the pandemic caused a legitimate hardship for landlords? All signs
point to yes. We are currently seeing favorable results for homeowners who are underwater on
their mortgages including those who are not occupying the properties such as landlords.
Who Will Buy My Property?
Investors are also buying properties at record numbers. Investors are motivated enough that we
are seeing some buy properties with slow paying tenants. This could be a rarely seen perfect
timing for tired landlords begging for relief and investors looking to grow their portfolios.
