Frequently Asked Questions

Moratorium impact?

2020-22 CDC moratorium + state moratoriums amplified delinquency 3-5x. Many properties saw 20-40% delinquency rates. Eviction backlog took 18-36 months to clear. Permanent bad debt increased materially.

Recovery difficulty?

Tenant owed $20-30k often unable to pay. Payment plans rarely fulfilled. Emergency rental assistance partial. Judgment often uncollectable. Expect 10-30% recovery on moratorium-accumulated debt.

Future risk?

State-level moratoriums possible (NY, CA, HI active as of 2024). Local ordinances (many cities). Include moratorium scenarios in underwriting. Maintain 60-90 days reserve for extended delinquency.

What documentation matters here?

Written leases, move-in/move-out inspections with photographs, ledger entries showing every payment and charge, served notices with proof of service, and contemporaneous emails or texts. Courts weigh written evidence heavily; informal understandings rarely stand. Institutional operators run a monthly file audit to catch gaps before they matter. Good paper trails recover most of what's owed.
