broker: Tenant Retention Strategies
- 07/14/10 03:19 PM
For a landlord, determining how to keep tenants longer can be much like nailing jello to the wall. After all, apartment-renters are by nature a transient population. In many cases, that's why they're renting and not buying. They want flexibility, the ability to move or buy when the time is right.
