Landlords and property managers are coming up with more creative incentives, promotions and deals for prospective tenants because of the changing marketplace caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
How about a free unforgettable experience of your choice including tandem skydiving or helicopter rides — plus two months’ free rent? That’s what a property manager is offering in Montreal.
Another property manager in Toronto is offering to pay for your move — plus a month of free rent. And another promises a fully stocked wine fridge.
Property managers and landlords across the country continue to offer free-rent incentives, and other free amenities such as Internet access, parking, gift cards and cash back.
In Calgary and Edmonton, some property owners are offering special incentives for veterans, health-care workers, first-responders, seniors and students.
With higher vacancy rates in many cities, property managers and landlords will continue to offer incentives to compete for the best tenants, especially as more work-from-home renters look for more space.
