PHILADELPHIA, PA – April 1, 2026 – Bay Property Management Group (BMG) has released the results of a new survey of more than 5,000 landlords, uncovering significant shifts in the rental housing landscape driven by rising operational costs.
According to the survey, increasing expenses tied to maintenance, repairs, insurance, and tenant turnover are placing growing financial pressure on property owners across multiple markets. These rising costs are forcing landlords to reevaluate pricing strategies, operational efficiencies, and long-term investment decisions.

Key Survey Findings Include:
- Widespread Cost Increases: Most of the landlords report rising expenses across nearly every category of rental ownership, with maintenance and repair costs leading the surge.
- Operational Pressure: Increased costs are impacting profitability, prompting landlords to adjust rent pricing and rethink property management strategies.
- Market-Wide Impact: The financial strain is not isolated to one region but is affecting rental owners across multiple states and markets.
“These findings highlight a major shift in the rental market,” says Patrick Freeze, CEO of BMG. “Landlords are navigating a new reality where controlling costs and operating efficiently is more important than ever.”
As rental ownership becomes more complex and expensive, professional property management services are playing an increasingly critical role in helping landlords maintain profitability while meeting evolving tenant expectations.
