The rental crisis Wall Street loves

Prashant Gopal and Oshrat Carmiel

Bloomberg Businessweek

The next housing crisis is already here, said Prashant Gopal and Oshrat Carmiel. As tenants and landlords “wrangle over next month’s rent, an approaching avalanche of evictions threatens to bury them both.” Half of the 43 million rental units in the U.S. are owned by small businesses, and their margins are dangerously thin. Only about nine cents for every $1 in rent gets returned to the owner, with the rest going toward the mortgage, property taxes, and the salaries of caretakers and maintenance workers. Their “fate is tied to renters now urgently focused on their own self-preservation.” Congress has yet to assist renters beyond the $1,200 stimulus checks and beefed-up unemployment benefits. “But without a national rental-market bailout, the economic pain is likely to spread as efficiently as the virus that caused it.” Lenders will be caught up as “collateral damage,” with defaults on mortgages predicted to double from the last recession, and cities will lose crucial property tax payments. Renters might not shed a tear now. But if rent strikes and bans on evictions persist, smaller investors could be forced to sell their properties. Wall Street firms “with deeper pockets” will be waiting to pounce—in many cases, ready to squeeze struggling renters even harder, or push them out in favor of wealthier occupants.
