The Housing Crisis:

​

Following the conclusion of COVID-related rent assistance programs, there has been a surge in evictions and eviction filings, posing difficulties for millions of Americans. Having an eviction on one's rental record significantly impacts getting approved. Also, this information will be seen for 7 years on the typical rental background checks. This is the average timeframe most tenant screening services will look at. But depending on the landlord’s qualification requirements, they can go back 10 years. In addition, this information remains in public records indefinitely.

​

Evictions have exceeded pre-pandemic levels, with over 144,000 evictions filed in metro Atlanta alone last year, resulting in 15% of those individuals being evicted. This amount only pertains to five counties, which means the numbers are higher. Plus, this does not include foreclosures or bankruptcy filings, all of which affect rental approval. Evictions and eviction filings are detrimental and carry the same weight when it comes to getting approved for a rental.

​

The real estate industry's historically low inventory, spanning well over a decade, has now led to inflated rent rates, compounded by inflation, has created a challenging situation for not only low-income people, but also scores of others above the poverty level. Moreover, a large percentage of rentals previously owned by individuals are now owned by hedge funds and investment companies, reshaping the real estate market landscape in the U.S. following the 2008 real estate crash.

​

These intricate challenges underscore the crucial necessity of our service that focuses on finding second-chance opportunities and rentals with flexible requirements. It is vital that we strengthen and expand our service. We also need to extend it to other major cities and states where housing is a significant problem.
