The most recent National Multifamily Housing Council Rent Payment Tracker showed an increase in the number of apartment households that made a full or partial rent payment since January.
The NMHC found that 79.2% of respondents in its survey of 11.6 million units made a full or partial rent payment by Feb. 6. In comparison, 76.6% made a full or partial rent payment by Jan. 6, 2021.
Still, the rent payment numbers are much lower than they were before the pandemic. The 79.2% of respondents who made full or partial payment by Feb. 6 is 1.9 percentage point, or 216,479 households decrease from the share who paid rent through Feb. 6, 2020. NMHC says these data encompass a wide variety of market-rate rental properties across the US, which can vary by size, type and average rental price.
