State of the Market • Although there are signs of stabilization. oversupply of homes on the market and low absorption rates have forced a decline in property values. • Low absorption has forced relocating sellers to place their properties into rental programs, causing a record number of vacant, available rentals. • Newer (never rented) properties, priced below market are drawing tenants out of previously rented properties which are often less desirable. New apartment complexes add to the oversupply. • Landlords are now offering incentives to the limited number of prospective tenants in order to help reduce vacancy loss.
Current Landlord Strategies • Retain tenants – aggressively pursue lease renewals 60 days (or more) prior to expiration. Offer incentives if necessary. • Maintain properties in above-average condition. • Aggressively market properties prior to vacancy and competitive rates and terms, incentives if necessary. • Be selective, avoid marginal tenants with unfavorable history. • Maintain ongoing tenant communication – anticipate collection problems. • Aggressively pursue rental delinquency and eviction if necessary.
