Hi i have a tenant leaving me in a lurch moving out mid month; i am considering a move in special waiting security deposit based on completed application. Any landlords have feedback on this? I know its a risk --172.56.xx.xx |

Instead maybe offer a free month of rent. Maybe month number 12 or 24?

No deposit attracts bad tenants. I did it for a while and had a few good ones, but mostly bad. It also scares away good tenants, they think there is something wrong with you or the property. I still do deposit specials, but not down to $0 or $99. Maybe half a month or $200 off, that lets good tenants see they are getting a deal, but not a "too good to be true" deal. I prefer a deposit discount to a rent discount because the rent is mine to keep. --73.102.xxx.xx |

If you are going to advertise a special, make it so you are attracting the right tenants.....
Move in special - with qualifying credit....only 1/2 month security deposit. Others will be considered, however you may need to pay extra deposit depending on your credit score. If I offer a discount on something, it is on the deposit and not on rents. --24.101.xxx.xxx |

thanks for all the great feedback; going with Ray on this one, and I have edited the advertisement for only 1/2 month security deposit. The inquiries I received with no security deposit, I will grant, but only if the qualifying applicant has good credit. Thanks again --72.92.xxx.xx |

Toni,glad you found an answer, and welcome. In future don't use your real first and LAST name when posting. This is a very public forum. With a first and last name, ANYONE can find you, your property, and your family. Just a word to the wise. Find yourself a "handle" or just use the first name. L --108.87.xx.xxx |

Move in special$99 keep deposit the same. Let them pay the $99 plus 1st months rent in full plus deposit. Then their rent isn't due for 45 days. ... Set a date...must qualify and put utilities in your name but March 20th. --99.203.xx.xxx |

If you only deal with easily garnish able tenants and charge them an exit cleaning fee, then no deposit will probably work out about the same as with deposit. --72.172.xxx.xx |

I use the $ 99 special as a marketing ploy. Demand is pretty high in my area and almost no one comes in expecting to get it. Of course, the ad explains qualifying criteria. I don't know your area, but we're moving into high season for rentals, so a discount may not be needed. --207.172.xx.xxx |
