Why my units won't rent

[Chris G.]

I currently manage units near large Universities like UF and Santa Fe area. For the past month or two getting the units rented have been very difficult. Most the units are 4 b 4b or 4 b 2 b. We rent each bedroom out and the tenants have a shared living room and kitchen area. We do have a few units that we have listed for family or groups. Most of the people interested seem to turn away once they hear it's shared but haven't had issues like this in the past. We're getting 15-25 views a week online for the units yet no one follows through or wants to do a showing. I would say we do have our prices pretty low sometimes lower then other competitors. If any one else is having these issues or any comments or help to this I'd appreciate it. Currently only about 65% our bedrooms units are occupied.
