GENERAL INFORMATION: When is a Special NOT special?

WHEN IS A SPECIAL NOT VERY SPECIAL?

WHEN IT DOESN'T APPLY TO YOU!

In general, no Apartment complexes give Specials to people with Broken Leases, Evictions, Felons, or people with extremely bad credit. They don't have to offer specials to get these clients - they only have to be willing to accept the less than ideal renter (there are plenty of applicants).

This is another rule of thumb that applies 80% of the time. Below I have written in the exceptions I've seen:

Broken Leases: You have a better chance of getting a special if you are making payments on the broken lease. There are complexes that will accept you without a payment plan but you may find the deposit to be equal to 1/2 or 1 full month. They may offer you a "Look N Lease" to get you to sign the lease but it probably won't be the NO DEPOSIT, FIRST MONTH FREE, or $100 OFF PER MONTH special that is advertised.

Evictions: I've never seen a special offered. This is one most difficult clients to place - even harder than placing a felon.

Felons: I've never seen a special offered. As one of the Apartment Managers told me "their special is they get to live here". Ouch!

Misdemeanors: I've seen specials offered to people with one misdemeanor (example: DUI) but rarely to serial offenders or people with violent misdemeanors.

Foreclosures: I'm beginning to see specials offered to this group again. The feeling in the rental industry is that many good candidates have suffered with the economy and they want these former home owners in their complexes.

Bankruptcy: I had seen specials offered as of late. Perhaps it is because people recognize the problems in our economy and the situations that people often go through because of illness, job loss, divorce, or other family tragedy.
