Tenant Payment Performance Update v 2nd Quarter
NOTE: we originally started publishing this data monthly back in April of 2020 to assist our clients in understanding the developments & corresponding challenges related to the Eviction Moratorium. With most landlord-tenant courts pretty much back to normal, we’ve decided to save our staff time and switch to publishing the data quarterly. Please let us know your thoughts!
We’re unaware of any other local management company sending their clients these updates!
Please share this with anyone interested in real estate investing or looking for a better property manager, so they can see what they are missing!
GENERAL EVICTION UPDATE
We’re not aware of any courts experiencing significant eviction delays.
On average, an eviction case currently takes approximately 60 to 75 days from start to finish.
Of course, there are always exceptions – usually related to lack of documentation.
The only other major delays we experience are related to a lack of maintenance and compliance with city required rental inspections. Legal Aid attorneys are able to delay evictions until these issues are resolved. We are advising clients that don’t want to deal with these issues to pursue 30-Day Evictions for Possession, instead of 7-Day Evictions for Nonpayment of Rent. If you have to deal with an eviction, please ask us which option is better for your specific case.
RENT PAYMENT TRENDS 30-60-90+ Days Behind Update
We seem to have gotten past the “Holiday Effect” and most tenants have caught up on their past due balances. We don’t anticipate any surges in past due balances until the Holiday Season returns in November
Macomb County Tenant Performance
Macomb County has shown a very positive performance in 2025, with a significant drop in the number of non-performing tenants
Oakland County Tenant Performance
In Oakland County, we’ve seen an increase in tenants reaching out and enrolling in payment plans. While this is a positive sign, some tenants have fallen behind on their agreed payments, which has unfortunately led to legal action in certain cases. We remain hopeful that these tenants can get back on track, and we will continue to monitor the situation closely to support housing stability.
Wayne County Tenant Performance
Wayne County has seen a slight decline in the number of tenants paying full rent; however, there has been a notable increase in tenants enrolling in and consistently following through on payment plans. This shift reflects steady progress, as more tenants are actively working toward regaining stability—ultimately supporting long-term housing security across the area.
