SPOA Housing Policy, Episode 11 – Renting Your Empty Apartment After September
The conversation highlights the financial troubles of rental property owners with empty apartments after the September 1st market. Despite some exceptions, filling those vacancies is typically more difficult during the off-season.
Boston Pads CEO, Demetrios Salpoglou, provides recommendations to get vacant apartments rented in the off-season using a variety of strategies, such as improving the units, adjusting prices and leasing methods, using new technology to analyze micro-neighborhoods, and knowing where to seek help. The influence of housing policy reform in helping owners provide more rental units and affordable housing options is also addressed.
SPOA Vice President, Amir Shahsavari, moderates the discussion.
