“With mortgage rates at all-time highs, our mission is more critical than ever,” Adena Hefets, the chief executive and a founder of Divvy, said in a statement. The higher payments have become a struggle for some customers, especially because of rapid inflation. The company, which charges a 5 percent fee for late payments, said it evicted only as a last resort. This spring, Divvy said, it put in place a new system to prioritize maintenance requests, including a 24-hour hotline for customers. They said they had been referred to Divvy by a real estate broker who worked closely with the company.
