Leasing In the Winter Months

Clare Pitcher
Posted

As we are in the midst of the winter, how is everyone getting creative with leasing up properties? Do you see higher vacancies in the winter, and how do you get proactive to help mitigate this?

Replied
I had a tenant that wanted to renew a lease, but only for 6 months - which would have left us in the middle of January (in Michigan :)

Apparently they may inherit a somewhat run down house, and wanted to keep their options open.

The solution was to suggest they renew for 9 months. They wouldn't have to move out in the middle of the winter, and we wouldn't have to re-lease in January. Win / win.

Stay warm!
