The best time in the year to post your house For Rent

[Sergio Rodriguez]

Hi BP Friends!

I'd like to get your input on the best time during the year to put your house up for rent. What season have you had your best success clinching a renter?  

Thanks!

@Sergio Rodriguez, I have had the best luck with my rentals listing during the summer. We try to only renew or expire during the summer months. This allows kids to be out of school and easier for families to move. Also college is normally out or relaxed during summer as well. If we have a unit come vacant during a non summer month when we rent it we try to only do a lease term to get us to a summer month and then renew it then for a year (I.E. if we rented in January we would sign a 6 month lease to get us to the summer and then renew a year lease with them at that point.) Winter sucks to move in as its cold and so many holidays.
