GUEST - Waldo Marcus, Industry Principal at TPN Credit Bureau
The majority of people who rent residential accommodation do so for financial reasons with nearly half admitting they can’t afford to buy a property, according to credit bureau TPN’s latest Tenant Survey.
The annual Tenant Survey Report provides the property sector, including property owners and managers, with insights into tenants' needs, wants, aspirations, and challenges, allowing them to enhance their property offerings and better understand future trends based on consumer inputs. More than 170,000 tenants were surveyed, and 19,000 completed responses were received, making the TPN Tenant Survey Report the largest holistic tenant survey in South Africa. Tenant responses were sorted by gender, age, location, and rental value band.
