A recent boom in apartment construction is flatlining rents and more options for tenants means landlords might need to sweeten the deal.
Throughout the pandemic, rents soared. But things have changed, and landlords and property managers are offering concessions to appeal to occupants—and to keep their apartments from staying empty, according to Zillow. Sweeteners can range from weeks or months of free rent, lowered security deposits, discounted Wifi or parking, and even help moving furniture into a new rental.
