The Small Property Owners Association (SPOA) has released Episode 11 of SPOA Housing Policy Series, which is called "Renting Your Empty Apartment After September." When property owners are unable to rent their apartments after September, especially in busy rental markets that depend heavily on local universities, owners can become discouraged and inadvertently miss out on opportunities. This conversation centers on tips and strategies to attract renters in the off-season, such as cooperating with local brokers and leasing companies. There is also a discussion about how rental property owners and local universities can work together to help students who need more housing, while reducing the rate of empty apartments in Massachusetts. The conversation also highlights the importance of rental property owners staying connected with local universities for help with bad tenants. SPOA Vice President, Amir Shahsavari, leads the discussion with three panelists: Demetrios Salpoglou (CEO, Boston Pads), Henry Korman (Operations Manager, Stuart Street Realty), and Sarah Lawrence (Vice President, Carbon Copy Real Estate).
