Rent Coverage opens doors to renters who may not otherwise qualify, improving owners’ and operators’ lease conversion all while mitigating their risk of default, minimizing bad debt, and improving their NOI. It serves as an insurance policy: if a renter defaults on their lease, the Rent Coverage covers owners and operators for the missed rent. This way, operators can lease with confidence and renters access the apartment of their dreams.
