Property Management question

[Ron Kwiatkowski]

Is it common for a property management company to give a rent discount for renewing a lease early? If it is common, is it common practice to not tell or ask the owner first?

[Chuy Gonzalez]

They should have run it by you first. Make sure they know what your expectations are going forward.  Last year I gave a discount as the year was drawing to a close and the weather getting colder, and renters harder to find...but the PM company ran it by me first.
