Leasing an apartment in the winter

[Rick C.]

Hello, I have two units being rehabbed that are coming up for rent in January. I understand that is a notoriously bad time of year to lease, so am concerned that I will have to go in at a lower rate. Are there any suggestions of what I can do to mitigate this potential issue? Ideally I would like to get both leases timed to end in the spring. Thanks, Rick
