I think rents will rise initially and then level off as the unoccupied homes are either rented or sold. They even mention in the article that there is a lot of inventory poised to come to the rental market. This seems to be mostly condos, SFR’s may stay at a higher rent longer. I doubt rents will drop significantly at any point. There may be a high demand in SFR’s right now due to people selling homes to cash out of the market. Just my $0.02
