So, 50 landlords (~16% of 315) reported that they had at least one tenant unexpectedly leave early? Over what time period? How many tenants in total? This may or may not be an interesting story - we can't tell.
- refurb 6y agoYeah, the statistics are kinda crappy. What would be more useful is of the 10,377 apartments these landlords represent, how many of those apartments broke their lease?
- stx 6y agoNot only that but how many break their leases before this pandemic? Also like someone mentioned above over what time period. Over the last week or month or ... what?
- cameldrv 6y agoSo it could be as few as 50/10377 = 0.5% of tenants broke their lease. This is a useless survey unless they asked the landlords how many of their tenants broke their lease.

- anoncareer0212 6y agoUnfortunately not every survey will meet the high standards of internet commenters looking for blood
- peanut_is_yum 6y agoI understand why you might feel this way, but I don't think the parent and grandparent comments are necessarily "looking for blood." They bring up valid concerns. Disclosure: I haven't read the linked article.
- jon_elbrook 6y agoor any standard at all?
- mandelbrotwurst 6y agoWhose blood are commenters looking for by pointing out that the data given in the piece fails to lend any credence to the "alarming rate" claim?
