Incentives for good tenants.

[CoffeeCup]

Just wondered if you have considered/provided an incentive to good tenants renewing their contract?

I'm thinking a voucher for a meal out or something for the property.

Maybe the hard nosed business types out there will say no way but as an investment in a good tenant it could pay for itself many times over.

We gave a (good) bottle of wine to one of our tenants, at Christmas and when he moved out.

Absolutely perfect tenant - there for 3 years.

Same here and on their birthdays, as well.

Nah, surely not. A moving out present? The incentive I was thinking was a way of say 'Thanks for being good tenants over the last year, I look forward to another year of the same'

Paragon they get a birthday presents? Hope you haven't got many HMO's you'll need shares in Clinton Cards.

Just to expand on my thinking ... I've been reviewing my financial affairs and stripping out the dead wood. What I mean by that is changing tariffs on phones, remortgaging, broadband etc etc.

On each occasion I've been put through to a re tensions person. They have offered all sorts of incentives to keep me as a customer. My reaction, 'If you wanted to keep my custom then you should have been proactive in keeping it'. It's quite probable that I would stay with a company that wasn't the cheapest but were prepared to show the value of my custom in some small way. Hence where we came in, an incentive for a tenant.

How about a rent break at Christmas? I always feel guilty collecting rents at Christmas lol.Mind you I think you better be well versed on your tenants different religious holidays.

Hi Tweedle Dum,

Impressive with Rent Breaks indeed, so long as you can get your Mortgage Lender to do the same to you then pass it on to your Tennent!!!! Joker!!
