Tenants renting high-priced homes don't pay

Business Report says at least one-in-ten tenants paying more than R12 000 a month for property, default on rental payments. This is according to Michelle Dickens of the rental-focused credit bureau TPN.

Addressing delegates at a credit bureau conference, Dickens said that 83% of tenants paying rentals of up to R12 000 were in good standing and paid their rent on time or late but mostly paid it in full.

There are 1.6-million properties being rented in South Africa.
