Move-in specials like discounted rent, one month free, and waived application fees are common ways to entice tenants to sign a lease. \u00a0 These type of new lease rent incentives pop up in response to new apartment construction surging in major cities creating a situation where a lot of properties are becoming available at the same time. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While move-in specials are possible for huge properties, they can be hard to swing for the individual landlord. <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.american-apartment-owners-association.org\/property-management\/latest-news\/offer-tenant-incentives-but-dont-give-away-the-farm\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">American Apartments Owners Association<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> reported on the trend of rent incentives during 2008, when rental vacancies were high across the country, creating an environment for tenants to have the upper hand in negotiating new lease agreements. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Following the recession, vacancy rates steadily dropped as the <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.marketwatch.com\/story\/boomers-feeling-squeezed-by-the-rise-in-rents-2015-10-19\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">renting became the norm<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (even necessary) for a lot of people and landlords no longer needed to offer so many concessions for new lease agreements. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, recent rental property growth has led to landlords needing to stay competitive with newly constructed apartment incentives in order to meet renter demand. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Wall Street Journal<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> reported in Aug. 2016 that as \u00a0<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/as-rental-supply-grows-landlords-negotiate-1470888060\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As Rental Supply Grows, Landlords Negotiate<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More and more apartment complexes are offering incentives to get prospective tenants in the door and a lease locked down. Waived fees, free parking, or \u00a0a month\u2019s free rent are common lease incentives. Tenants could also be allowed to move in a few weeks before their lease officially starts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As newly constructed apartment buildings open their doors, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a lot of units coming to the market at the same time.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Empty apartments will not make those new owners any money, so in an effort to hurry the initial lease-up, many landlords in major cities are offering move-in concessions to get tenants into long-term rental agreements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes referred to as a look and lease, where a renter will get a special deal if they sign a lease the same day they look at a vacant unit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here is a look at some move-in specials in major cities across the country as advertised on Craigslist.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentecdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Portland-Rent-Incentive.png\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Portland, OR<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; \u00a0<\/span><b>$950 \/ 350ft2 &#8211; Downtown Studio with a Move In Special (SW Portland)<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We are offering a special for our vacant studio apartment.

However, oftentimes, rent during the 11 other months is increased by 1\/11th to make up for it. Unbeknownst to the renter, they are actually paying their first month&#8217;s rent over the term of the lease but provides the illusion of a great deal. This incentive tends to appeal to renters with little or no cash liquidity.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Reduced Security Deposit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Waiving the deposit requirement is popular with large apartment complexes as a means to reduce vacancies, but it\u2019s not a good idea\u00a0for a landlord. A landlord relies on the\u00a0deposit as security against unpaid rent and damages to the property. Forgoing a deposit leaves the landlord vulnerable. \u00a0Additionally, it might not be wise to rent to someone who can\u2019t pay the deposit in full.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Regardless of the incentive you offer, it is always important to stick to your screening criteria and only accept applicants that pass. Lost rent due to vacancy and patience is a small price to pay versus the potential stress and cost associated with eviction and property damage.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Have you offered rent incentives or great deals to lower your vacancy rates and get units rented fast?
