??? I'm not understanding the question.

The question is, what is the percentage of rent you collect every month. If you have 100% occupancy and you collect all of it. Than you’ve collected 100%. If a tenant does’t pay and you start an eviction. Than you haven’t collected 100%. Obviously you don’t pay you don’t stay.

How many are having trouble keeping up?

I don't have the percentage however it is an increasing number. Poor money managers come in all walks of life as of late.

Now I see what you're asking.

For every 9 units I have paying rent like clockwork, no drama, everything's hunky dory-- I usually have 1 unit who can't quite get things together and requires active management of some sort.

DaveF,

With the creative methods I write about here

ZERO TOLERANCE on lates

Autodraft

PayDayPlanRent

Early Lease Termination Fee

We collect approx 135% of rents.

PS

These methods have also taken us from 4 evictions per month to .75 per month.

I’m at between 90% and 95% rent collection, annually. Besides having low income clients, 60 of my units are in NYC, where minimum eviction take 6 months and as long as 9 month. (Careful how you vote!!) Sometimes I can get the back rent, which is great, but it never work out. Good thing is NY is a wage garnishment state. Thank for the feed back!!

All 30 of my tenants pay through Clearnow. Occasionally someone will have to stop their draft or a draft fails and they have to pay outside of Clearnow (with late fees). They must make the payment NLT the next Friday. If they have two failed payments within a year I reserve the right to cancel the lease agreement.

Even if they still pay on time if it's outside of Clearnow there is a fee for paying outside of Clearnow. I had one tenant get themselves banned from Clearnow for reversing the charges by claiming the charge wasn't authorized. She had to find a third party willing to pay her rent using Clearnow or she was not permitted to stay as a tenant.

For the couple who I personally wanted to keep but who failed too often I put on twice a month drafts at a higher monthly rent. Their failures stopped.

All my tenants pay on time, most of them pay early. If a tenant won't pay the rent on time, I get rid of them.

Jasper he said monthly....

Very hard number to come up with. Here's one example why. If your very proactive (collecting) you many not get rent paid until 4 or 5 years from the time they owed it. For example up to sept 22, 2018 for the month of September we collected an additional 6K in garnishment and collections and more is scheduled to come in by the 30th. So these accounts that are paid this month are from last year and up to 3 years ago. If you don't retrieve your debt then of course its a loss-- but proper tenants - proper verification of employment etc.. Can be big payoffs. Problem is most see it as distasteful and maybe guilty that they're going after money owed.
