In mid-June, we sent a survey to over 27,000 active TurboTenant landlords to better understand how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected them, specifically regarding rent payments. We conducted the survey between June 12th and June 16th. We have broken the data down below by month, units, and state.
Our first questions centered around rent payments for April, May, and June. Sixty-four percent reported receiving the full rent amount for April. Eleven percent of respondents received part of the month’s rent, 20% did not receive any rent for the month of April, 2% of the respondents said they worked with their tenants to set up a payment plan. Three percent of landlords canceled rent for the month of April.
May’s full payments were down by three points month over month, coming in at 61%. The number of landlords who received no rent for May was up a point at 20%, and partial payments increased by a percentage point as well at 12.%. Payment plans ticked up a bit, coming in at 3%. May rent cancelations held steady at 3% month over month.
June was slightly better than May in the full payment category coming in at 63%. The number of landlords that did not receive any rent in June was down two points month over month reported at 19%. Partial payments, payment plans, and rent cancellation all held steady at 12%, 3%, and 3% respectively.
We distilled the data further to see how landlords in various unit categories were affected. First, we will break down the respondents per unit size. The majority of respondents, 65% own 1-4 units, 16% own 5-10 units, 8% own 11-20 units, and 11% of respondents own 21 or more units.
