If it is all at once, and if the numbers overshadow current supply/demand numbers, will supply and demand both jump in lockstep leading to a lateral shuffle? If that’s true, I would guess it’s just a net negative for everyone involved (landlords would be better off trying to keep current tenants rather than renting to an equivalent tenant likely at the same rate).
- sokoloff 5y agoI suspect that those evicted will [understandably] have a tough time passing the rental application/credit/history check for their next place. Why would a landlord rent to anyone who is looking for an apartment right after the eviction moratorium expires without doing significant investigation into "are they looking for a place because they got evicted?" vs "are they looking for a place because they chose to move?" It's far better to have an empty unit than a unit occupied by someone not paying rent. I remember having to show canceled rent checks as part of the application process for a new place. If I were a landlord, this [or an equivalent] would become part of the application process.
