Longest tenant you’ve had?

[John Morgan]

Just curious how long some of your tenants have stayed. And any advice to entice them to stay and be lifers with you. I’m all about low turnover!

Hi, I have

a 13 year tenant, that is actually living in one of my units for the second time, she moved for 2 years then moved back.

a 15 year tenant 

a 16 year tenant 

a 17 year tenant  

a 23 year tenant 

and I had a 25 year tenant until she had to move 

I'm all about keeping tenants for a long time , less turnover = less headaches = more $$$ 

So when it was time to raise the rent , annually, I figured my increase in costs and what the market would bear , and kind of split the difference, now when I did have a vacancy I went in and did as much as I could afford to do as far a remodeling and rented it at market rent. 

That's what I did , for 42 years and counting (:
