The last two years have been some of the toughest ever experienced in South Africa’s rental market. Pandemic-driven pressure saw tenant churn and vacancies climbing, tenant reliability and rental collections dropping, and already-slow average rental escalation entering negative territory.

Despite less-than-ideal circumstances, the last half of 2021 showed the first signs of light at the end of the tunnel. Tenant payment behavior improved, churn dropped, and vacancies began to trend downwards.

“Since the start of Covid-19, we’ve seen a huge drop in the quality of tenant applications,” she said. “It’s not unusual for up to 80% of applications for a rental property to be unsuitable.” Because of these increasingly conservative tenant placement trends, Savage is optimistic that payment performance will continue to shift back towards pre-pandemic levels in the coming year. Landlords with a lighter touch on tenant vetting could have a different experience, however.As financial pressures increase, Savage said the rental industry’s focus is extending beyond simply ensuring tenants meet affordability criteria.

“We’ve seen an amazing about-face in demand, thanks to Covid and work-from-home,” she said. “Where metros were once thriving rental centres, we’re now seeing properties in small towns – particularly on the coast – flying off the metaphorical shelves.”
