It's also important to understand local landlord-tenant laws since they can dictate how much you can raise the rent and the notice period you need to provide.Once you have that info, have an open and honest conversation with the tenant.

It just takes longer days on market (30-60 days) and lots of conversations with landlords explaining why people have more options and go with the best one for the dollar and why we have to be more flexible in terms of pricing and requirements these days.
