# What Does Tenant Default Mean for Your Landlords?

Jun 28, 2022, 12:00:00 AM · felipe

When a tenant faces hardship and begins missings rent payments, it can trigger a chain reaction of financial problems for the landlord. For small-scale rental property owners in particular, who often don’t have the capital to cover missed payments, tenant default can end up being a catalyst for defaulting on mortgage loans or being pushed to sell the property.  

And the problems don’t stop with the landlord. Property managers find themselves having to raise rents to compensate for the lack of income or needing to tighten tenant screenings, causing frustrations for current tenants and making it more difficult to fill vacancies.

Just how much of a problem is tenant default? And what can you do if a tenant doesn’t pay rent or misses payments? The most stress-free, efficient solution is to have insurance against tenant default – that is, rent protection. We’ll dig into what this means and how to combat the impacts of tenant default for landlords you work with. 

## The Impacts of Tenant Default

The COVID-19 pandemic showed just how real the risk of tenant default is for rental property owners. And it’s a lesson that won’t soon be forgotten. 

Let’s look at a snapshot in time as an example of what tenant default means for property owners: January 2021. Lockdowns and job losses plagued the U.S. economy for over nine months at that point. Various federal and regional eviction moratoriums had also been in place since March 2020, pausing evictions for nonpayment of rent and limiting the options for landlords who were no longer being paid. 

Rental assistance programs were available and some landlords were eligible to apply on behalf of their tenants. Even with social support in place, nearly [20% of renters in the U.S.](https://www.cnbc.com/2021/01/25/nearly-20percent-of-renters-in-america-are-behind-on-their-payments.html#:~:text=The%20typical%20delinquent%20renter%20now,includes%20utilities%20and%20late%20fees.) fell behind on their rent payments in January 2021. Across the country, $57.3 billion in delinquent rent payments was owed by more than 10 million renters – the average defaulting tenant owed $5,600 and was four months behind in payments.

At the time, national housing associations put out warnings about the long-term impact of rent nonpayment and eviction moratoriums. The [National Multifamily Housing Council and the National Apartment Association](https://www.nmhc.org/news/press-release/2021/nmhc-and-naa-statement-on-president-bidens-extension-of-the-eviction-moratorium/) said that the rental industry “cannot continue operation under these policies without disastrous harm to housing affordability.”

And that’s [exactly what happened](https://time.com/5846383/coronavirus-small-landlords/). Small-scale landlords struggled to cover the missing monthly income and pay their mortgages. Many were forced to raid savings accounts, take on debt or sell outright. In some cases, property maintenance had to be put on hold to lower costs. 

## The Lingering Effects of Rental Delinquency

Federal and regional eviction moratoriums have now been lifted, but the impacts of tenant default are still reverberating.  Many of the property owners who face reduced rental income in the past couple of years have since shifted their approach, asking property managers to tighten tenant screenings and earn back those missing payments by raising rents.

In fact, [a survey earlier this year](https://www.urban.org/urban-wire/real-rental-housing-crisis-horizon) by the Urban Institute found that owners who had missed rental payments have become particularly wary about finding the right renter for their property. Nearly half of these owners have introduced more stringent tenant screening requirements, raising the bar on criteria like income, employment history and credit scores. Previous rental history – including evictions or late payments – are now being examined with renewed focus. 

![court proceedings](https://www.steadytech.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/85ef0fa3-b475-4514-a21b-4b44ac29f01b-1.jpg)

For property managers, this can make it more challenging to find tenants and fill vacancies. Of the property owners who responded to the Urban institute survey, 18% said they reject more than three-quarters of the tenants who apply based on their stricter criteria. 

Finding the right tenant fit has always been a must but now, with the increasing fear of rent nonpayment, providing peace of mind to property owners has become more of a priority.

## What Can You Do When a Tenant Doesn’t Pay Rent?

When a tenant misses a rent payment, swift action is required. Depending on the lease agreement, there may be a short grace period to pay after the normal deadline. Usually, late fees or penalties for bounced checks will be outlined in the lease agreement as well. 

Immediately communicate with the tenant, giving them written notice of the overdue rent and any penalties they face as outlined in the lease. The late rent notice should also include a warning that further legal action will be taken if payment of rent is not received. Keeping a paper trail of delinquent payments is helpful if you should ever need to prove a pattern, even if the tenant does pay this time.

![new tenant](https://www.steadytech.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/81593bab-14ff-4d82-b4a6-a8244c0c776d-1.jpg)

The next step is to start the eviction process. Failure to pay is considered a reason for termination of the lease. The specific requirements to legally evict someone are based on local landlord-tenant guidelines and applicable laws, but it generally includes serving an official notice before filing eviction papers after a set time period.

Unfortunately, it can be a timely and costly undertaking to recover delinquent rent payments even when a tenant is lawfully evicted. A landlord can sue for past-due payment and the costs associated with filling the vacancy. More often than not, however, the rent is never recovered and the security deposit won’t cover all the costs. Instead, the landlord is left on the hook.

## The Best Solution: Landlord Rent Default Insurance

Landlord insurance protects rental property owners from a variety of costly and unexpected circumstances, from floods to fires, but typically won’t cover unpaid rent. Rent protection, however, does. 

Property owners and property managers who have signed up for rent protection are shielded from financial loss if a tenant defaults. It acts similar to an insurance policy by covering rent for a predefined period of time.
