How to advertise my rental above the market rent
In the Stratford CT area, the rent is between 1600-1900 on average. The apartment I have is 646 sq feet and I am asking for a rent of 1950 and as part of the lease the renter also pays the landlord the HOA. Since the apartment is in very good condition with new appliances and remodelled kitchen how can I ask renters to pay for 2150 instead of the comps around the area? The person whom I bought the unit from has other rental properties and is able to get renters for 1950 with the HOA fees in the lease agreement. I am finding it hard to find a renter who is willing to pay ne 2150 instead of 1950. What am I doing wrong or how should I advertize to get the higher price because of better amenities compared to other apartments? The apartment is next to a golf course and 1 min walk to the beach.
