Affordable housing rental collection rates emerge as a performance indicator.<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highlights:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Average affordable housing rent collection stood at 88.6% in May.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • The spread was wide, from 97.3% in Fort Lauderdale to 66.8% in Northern Virginia.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Markets with heightened tenant protection witnessed lower rental collection rates, such as New York, which had a 76.7 percent revenue realization rate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Metros where rental disputes had a speedy, predictable and acknowledged outcome also had larger collection rates, such as Florida\u2019s Miami (96.8%), Orlando (96.1%) and Tampa (95.8%).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Collection rates vary greatly based on state and local legislation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Affordable housing performance has been robust on account of an increase in net operating income, despite above-trend expense growth. Yet, there\u2019s more to the story as results across the sector vary greatly at a market level and even on a property-by-property basis. A key factor driving disparity is the success rate of rent collection efforts, a figure which at a national level clocked in at 88.6% in May. The spread is immense, with the best-performing market, Fort Lauderdale, at 97.3%, while Northern Virginia is at the opposite end with a collection rate of just 66.8%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
