Despite the persistence of high rental prices, numerous renters are foregoing home ownership due to the challenges, stress and expense of buying. This confluence of factors raises the likelihood of more households with roommates in multifamily communities. It also increases the risks of financial challenges for owners, particularly in regards to parking.

Solo renting is simply unfeasible for some renters. Compounding this is the continuous news regarding the decreasing formation of single-family households, removing a key catalyst for turnover in multifamily.
