TPN Residential Rental Monitor Q1 
2013
As a 
result of the shortage of residential rental stock, rental agents and landlords 
are in the fortunate position of being able to pick and choose only quality 
tenants. The current scenario is further characterised by an on-going 
improvement of tenants considered to be in good standing, with Q1 of 2013 
strengthening to a record 84%, which includes sub-categories of 71% of tenants 
who Paid on Time, plus 3% paid in the Grace Period and 10% Paid Late. Pleasingly 
only 8% of tenants were recorded as being in the Did not Pay category while 8% 
made a Partial Payment.

While TPN’s 
Residential Tenants in Good Standing continues to improve; TransUnion’s SA 
Consumer Credit Index continues to decline and the National Credit Regulator’s 
Credit Report rings alarm bells for unsecured lending. 
TPN continues to 
caution landlord’s and rental agents to perform strict tenant, credit and 
affordability assessments and apply their credit and application process to all 
potential adult occupants (i.e. both spouses).
TransUnion SA 
Consumer Credit Index Q2 2013
The 
TransUnion SA Consumer Credit Index (CCI) decreased to 43.6 in Q2 2013 
from a revised 43.8 in Q1 2013 (preliminary 44.4). The index is a measure of 
consumer credit health where 50.0 is the break-even level between improvement 
and deterioration. Consumer credit health has now been deteriorating for four 
straight quarters.
