How are you advertising? Are you listed in local apartment finder books? Do you have a demo model set up with furnature and all? How do the grounds look? I have children and wouldn't move into a complex that looked trashy. Do you run periodic specials for new residents (like no security deposit this month, or take 50 dollars off rent, things like that)
I know that you're out to make money but you sometimes have to give a little to get a lot. It's like running a business in a mall. Hope this helps. |

Put up a big sign that says 1 month free rent, see inside for details. When they come inside tell them that the free month is the third month (not the first or second) then follow through. |

I've recently seen people who give away the first month of rent free. If you're able to allow pets, that will make more people likely to move in. |

Have a open house. Have refreshments and brochures when people arrive. |

You can post photos, too. It's free.
Also offer some sort of incentive if current tenants refer someone new who ends up renting a unit. |

Good tenants are the key to the whole deal, if you have a few loud obnoxios tenants people will be moving out left and right and then you will have to refill those apartments, so why don''t you just get to know your tenants and find out whats going on in the building, make it a good place to live and you wont have to worry about filling the building, but you might have a waiting list. |

Make the place clean and fresh, a nice smell around the building works wonders too; something like freshly made coffee or cakes baking. Think what you'd want an apartment to look like if you were looking to rent. If I saw one thing that turned me off I'd be out of there. |

Free BJ's for single males will have them lined up outside of your office;) LOL just kidding, present new applicants with a few written statements from current attendants regarding there likes and dislikes, that's what helped me to determine whether or not I would rent my current apt. |

You need to give us more information before we can suggest things. Is the complex rather empty? is it difficult for you to find people to move in? What is going on for you to need to ask your question?
If you want to rent more apartments, I imagine if you put ads in the newspapers or list your apartments online - maybe even with pictures, you would gather interest that way.
As long as the apartments are neat and clean, and the rent you ask is reasonable, then you should have no problem in renting them. |
