# Landlords, while rent payments may be on the Rise, so are potential risks.

 In the last couple of years rent payments have skyrocketed to record breaking rates in the majority of the US. There are many reasons rent payments are expected to continue to rise and below we breakdown the facts behind this increase and the potential risks that come with it.

A [HotPads report](https://hotpads.com/blog/total-rent-2018/) showed us that renters spent $504.4 billion on rent in 2018 across the US, a 12.6 billion dollar increase from 2017. As shown in the Abodo graphic above, we can see that rent prices increased in 29 states last year. The cities who experienced the most impact in this rise in rent, according to a recent [Smart Asset report](https://smartasset.com/checking-account/top-10-cities-with-the-largest-rent-increases-2018-edition), may surprise you.

## 2019 Brings Large Jumps in Average Rent Payments

With a booming economy and low unemployment rates, rent will continue to rise in 2019. This rise in rent payments can be attributed to two things: 1.‘would-be’ homebuyers being deterred from entering the marketplace because of unreasonably high mortgages and 2. With homeownership being less attractive to a large population like millennials, people are renting longer and not making the jump to owning which rapidly increases rental demand and ultimately rent prices. According to the [NAA](https://www.naahq.org/), it predicts that rent occupancy will remain at 94-95 percent in 2019 with the chance of even more growth by the end of the year.

Recent [Yardi Matrix](https://www.yardimatrix.com/) data reports that the national average rent reached an all-time high in February 2019 with an average rent of $1,426, up 3.6% year over year as shown in the [RentCafe](https://www.rentcafe.com/blog/rental-market/apartment-rent-report/february-monthly-rent-report/) graphic below.

Unfortunately, average income and monthly wages have not increased fast enough to keep up with the cost of living and minimum wage employees are finding themselves needing two or more full-time jobs just to afford rent.

## What this Means for Landlords: The Risks

Landlords may be excited about the acceptable increases in rent payments soaring across the country however they should be mindful of the risks that may come along with it. Sure, a higher rent may mean more income but it also leaves landlords in an extremely vulnerable position in the event that their tenants refuse or physically can not afford their rent.

Every year, millions of tenants default on their rent payment,s turning a landlords rental investment upside down and creating a very large and time consuming headache. With the fast paced rise in rental prices and lackluster wage increases, it is essential landlords take the steps to protect themselves and reduce risk so they can ensure they make a return on their investment.

There are many things a landlord can do to avoid calamity. Such as putting more emphasis on leasing to renters whom they know can afford the price, and performing extensive background/credit checks. However, above all else landlords should be investing in rent default insurance.
