How to Secure Corporate Rental Occupancy Over the Holidays?

Published Date: 2011-12-08 Are you a corporate housing landlord worried about securing a renter and/or having full occupancy over the holidays and into the New Year? Here are a few tips from Corporate Housing By Owner for avoiding vacancy during this traditionally slower time:
- Keep Your Current Tenant: Now is a great time to try and negotiate with your current tenant to stay longer. Offer them a lower price or special concession for extending the length of their lease.
- Drop Your Price: If you’ve been advertising your property at its usual rate without any bites, you may want to consider lowering the price for the next month or so. A price adjustment may just pique the interest you are looking for.
- Be Flexible With Lease Terms: If your goal is to rent your unit, be open to negotiating lease terms you wouldn’t normally entertain during busier times of the year. An occupied unit at a lower price or shorter lease is always better than a vacant one.
