The National Multifamily Housing Council’s Rent Payment Tracker found that more people made a full or partial rent payment in the first six days of May compared to the same period in April, despite the ongoing economic hardships related to coronavirus.
By May 6, 80.2% of apartment households had paid at least some rent, according to the NMHC’s survey of 11.4 million professionally managed apartment units across the United States.
That’s 1.5 percentage points lower than the share who paid rent in the first six days of May 2019, and just over two percentage points higher than the share who paid in the first six days of April 2020.
