In an earlier thread I posted about my cousin looking for an apartment.

One thing we continue to see is, example- $1975 mo/ "net effective rent"



What does net effective rent mean?

If you get a month free for renting (not uncommon these days), for example, that's factored in. Thus, 'net effective rent.'

So something like a 13 month lease and 1 month being free?


Thanks for explaining.

No. It's a 12 month lease. One month is free.

What ViralMD said, but just to be clear--> the net effective rent is NOT what you'd be writing the check for each month.

Net effective rent=( 12 months total rent payments- 1 month's rent)/ 12 months.
You would write the check each month for the orginal rental amount, but not owe rent the first (or last, sometimes) month of a yearlong lease .

........let's say the rent is $2000


$2k x 12= $24k-$2k(1 month free)=$22K/12=$1833 is NEF

But I'd write the check for $2k


is this correct?


Thanks

Yes, that's correct. And, some incentives are not tied to rent, but promotional or free rates at in-building health clubs, etc. that are managed by the same company. If it's a contractor, that's a different situation, usually, though there is a discount for building residents.

Are those incentives included or extra costs to the renter?

Some buildings are including them. It all depends upon how many units that need to be filled, and price point, as to how attractive the deals are right now. Some buildings do it to gain an advantage, but if there is any extra cost for the amenity, they will disclose it. In a good market, those amenities might require an extra fee, but to remain competitive in their segment, some buildings are offering the full amenities included in the rent.
