Landlords gave a whopping 3 billion rand in rent relief during April to June 2020, significantly reducing the number of tenants who were more than 3 months in arrears with their rent. Fast-forward nine months, three billion rand swallowed up, and arrears continue to grow.
Managing tenant arrears is an ongoing strategy. With the length of tenant
delinquency being significant, landlords will be focused on the 13.5% of delinquent
tenants who are now more than 6 months in arrears.
Overall, tenants more than two months in arrears have increased from 54.5% to 63.6%; less risky are the 26.4% of delinquent tenants who are less than a month in arrears. This key metric will be important to follow in the coming months to confirm that partial paid tenants are paying down arrears.
