Rivalry can be considered across apartment owners and new supply in local markets. Supplier power may involve construction services, maintenance inputs, technology vendors and financing sources. Buyer power reflects renters' ability to compare communities, locations and lease terms. New entrants may emerge through development or newly financed projects, while substitutes include homeownership, other rental formats, shared living arrangements and relocation choices.

Economic considerations include employment conditions, household affordability, construction costs and the availability or cost of capital.
