The rental market is slowing down for a variety of reasons (economy, weather, holidays, etc.). 

What are your favorite tips or tricks for keeping rentals filled in slower markets?

I listed a home for rent in November and received unusually low interest. Once I showed the property to the only seemingly qualified applicant, I offered December rent free. Then I got a 14-month lease signed so that the lease wouldn't end around the Holiday's again. Also, NEVER lower your tenant criteria because you're desperate a home isn't renting.
