But if you are willing to live on the outskirts of town or are moving to a smaller town, they can be more affordable and available.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rental houses are often managed by the property owner, so renters will work directly with a landlord instead of a property management company. \u00a0Renting directly from an owner, or landlord can sometimes give a tenant the option to develop a personal relationship with management. \u00a0Some landlords will manage their property exactly like a property management company, with firm processes and strictly enforced rental rules, other landlords may be more relaxed when it comes to decorating or maintenance in exchange for rent reductions. \u00a0It depends on their involvement and commitment to their investment property. \u00a0When renting from a landlord you also have a direct line of communication to the owner when any maintenance emergencies pop up, a landlord will respond in kind because it is his property (and expense) that is at risk of damage. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Pros: More space, more privacy, no shared walls, parking, personal management experience<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Cons: More expensive in town, limited availability.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<h2>Renting an Apartment<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apartment rentals are often categorized by multiple units in one building. \u00a0Residents have lots of neighbors living in close proximity with the potential for a strong community. \u00a0Another benefit of apartments includes onsite management that typically responds to maintenance or emergencies quickly. \u00a0Apartments tend to be located closer to city centers or convenient transportation options. \u00a0Apartment complexes are more likely to have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentecdirect.com\/blog\/2015\/04\/luxury-apartment-amenities-what-some-renters-will-pay-big-bucks-for\/\">luxury community amenities<\/a> like business centers, pools, rooftop terraces, etc. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A con associated with apartments are shared walls and lack of outdoor space, which can be a challenge for pet owners. \u00a0Due to the high volume of tenants that live in an apartment, parking may be limited or require an additional monthly fee to factor into your rental budget.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Pros: Strong community, on-site management, location, amenities, low maintenance.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Cons: Shared walls, limited outdoor space, parking not included.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other types of rental properties can include duplexes or triplexes, small apartments with a few units, or a single room for rent in a home. \u00a0In general, the bigger rental unit types will have more tenants under the same management and will mean less space or privacy in community areas. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For landlords and property managers these are items you can consider when marketing your properties to qualified renters. \u00a0Pointing out the benefits of a certain housing style can make the option more appealing to attracting tenants and turning any vacancy into a lease.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rentec Direct\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentecdirect.com\/blog\/tag\/tenant-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tips for Tenants<\/a> gives property managers and landlords useful advice to pass along to their renters. \u00a0Feel free to share these ideas in a tenant newsletter or in your marketing materials to help your potential tenants make informed decisions about renting from you. \u00a0If you would like to republish any article on your website or blog just contact Kaycee at <\/span><a href=\"mailto:kwegener@rentecdirect.com\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">kwegener@rentecdirect.com<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;
