How Large Is The Rental Market?

The number of renters has drastically increased since 1997 due to market behavior and the pandemic. 20 years ago, there was approximately 2,000 evictions in the City of Atlanta. Due to the recent pandemic, these number are expected to increase. According to previous census data, there was an estimated 128.2 million housing units. 33.9 million units are being occupied by renters each year. This is 26% of all housing units. On average, a housing unit has 2 renters of renting age. This equals approximately 17 million renters in the Unted States. There are 3.8 million vacant units in the Unites States. Imagine what the rental market is analytics are today.

What is the national vacancy rate?
The national vacancy rate from 2007 to 2009 was 9.8%. That is over 1 million vacant units. In summary, the rental market is very large and will continue to strengthen. We will see the rental market increase in size within the next few years. Expect to see more rental housing units on the market due to home foreclosures, impacts from the pandemic, immigration, organic population growth and a potential downturm in the housing market.

  • What is EP Pay and how do I sign up?

    EP Pay is a Berkshire Hawthorne platform that covers renters and homeowners for coverage and provides protection for lessees who are renting. Bilisi 28 and X/Capital28 are investment groups. We pay rental payments on our members' behalf. Signing up is simple: contact a rental agent at Berkshire Hawthorne. Our leasing agents' team will complete a membership form to help get you enrolled.

  • What is Equity Pay?

    Equity Pay is a third-party escrow account set aside for emergency evictions. All payments enable renters to prefund all or part of the annual rent to the landlord or apartment community sponsored by X/Capital28, then submit monthly rent payments on behalf of the renter to the landlord or building leasing department.


    The service fee to use Equity Pay is 2.5% of the Equity Pay balance (the total amount of rent being funded).

  • How can I sign up with Equity Pay?

    Please contact your building’s leasing team directly to request that they fill out an Equity Pay referral form on your behalf. This referral lets us know the Equity Pay balance required for your lease and when to start sending rent payments. You can also sign up directly to mitigate the risk of eviction as a member.


    Please note that the application on our website www.Bilisi28.com is for Rent or Deposit Coverage, not Equity Pay.


    After your building has submitted an Equity Pay referral for you, you will be asked to sign our Terms & Conditions. We will then send you an invoice with instructions on how to wire payment to us. When your wire payment has arrived, we will confirm with you and the building that you’ve funded your Equity Pay balance successfully. The first rent payment and monthly rent payments thereafter will be disbursed according to the requirements of your Equity Pay referral.


    *Your building or you as a member must be signed up with Bilisi28 and the Equity Pay product specifically in order for you to use Equity Pay. Not all buildings that are enrolled with us for Equity Pay to help mitigate the risk of evictions or Coverage for Deposits with Equity Pay Program Assistance.

    • Rent Coverage: to help you qualify for an apartment without a personal guarantor and mitigate the risk of eviction Deposit 
    • Assistance: to reduce a traditional security deposit and lower your move-in costs. 
    • Lodging and Relocation Services.

  • Rent Coverage

    Our Rent Coverage functions as a traditional insurance policy, but the landlord is the beneficiary. The renter buys the policy to qualify to rent an apartment they may not otherwise qualify for, and the policy insures the landlord for the term of the renter's lease.


    Rent Coverage can be used in parallel with a cash security deposit or our Deposit Coverage product.


    The cost is generally between 30% - 120% of one month's rent. This is a one-time fee to purchase the policy, which covers the term of one lease. Please note that your landlord may require you to purchase another Rent Coverage policy upon renewing your lease.

  • My lease is shorter/longer than one year. Can I purchase a policy for the exact duration?

    No, unfortunately, we only offer a 12-month term, but you can cancel and receive a prorated refund for unused member rent coverage. Policies will renew automatically each year unless you contact our partner, X/Capital28, to cancel your membership. Please contact their customer service to discuss the best plan for you by emailing the member contract agreement or contacting one of our agents directly.
