(RECAP: Freddie Mac’s renter research, conducted in September 2016, shows that renters are more satisfied with their rental experience than they were in October 2015. However, they are also more anxious about their finances. Over the past year, a greater number of multifamily and single-family property renters — 20 percent compared to 11 percent last year — feel they sometimes don’t have enough money for basics until the next payday. The Gen X renters are feeling the tightest squeeze with over one-quarter feeling this way. Renters are struggling with managing their debt and over one-third are either extremely or very concerned about potential rent increases in the next 12 months. Fear of eviction because of rising rents is now a reality for at least one in five Americans.)
