ConcordRENTS Crushes Inflation with a Stay and Save Lease Option!

04/2024 - Many businesses and households alike are looking to take control and fight back against continued inflationary pressures. ConcordRents is thrilled to create just the opportunity for our residents to crush inflation. At our market rate communities where rents are not already restricted, we are excited to offer a two-year lease option to new residents in an effort to provide certainty of no rent increase for the full two year term. For existing residents at these same communities who are interested in extending their lease for another term, regardless as to the current lease expiration, they can also take advantage of this opportunity as they are being provided an option to renew their lease for another year with the benefit of no rent increase.

If you are an existing resident or are inquiring about the specifics of this opportunity, a member of your preferred community team will be happy to answer any questions. Alternatively, you can direct your questions to [email protected]

Announcing our new "RENEW FOR TWO" Lease Renewal Program for Rental Housing in Florida: 2023 Update

Since ConcordRENTS first extended an offer to residents in March of 2022 to renew for a two year period in return for limited and transparent rent increases of 5%, ConcordRENTS has received an overwhelmingly favorable response from its residents, as evidenced by 445 households choosing this option for their new leases starting in June.

ConcordRENTS Goes Green with Solar: 2023 Update

ConcordRENTS is known for Affordability, Convenience and Comfort. And today, we believe it’s more important than ever to add something new —GREEN! While energy consumption continues to increase, ConcordRENTS is committed to doing our part by investing in energy efficient appliances and producing a clean energy alternative by installing photovoltaic solar panels at our communities.

We are now providing power to our corporate office and 26 of our communities with clean solar energy. This renewable source helps power common areas and serves a secondary benefit of reducing operating costs. While solar is very much a forward-looking investment in the future of Florida’s energy, it is also part of our commitment to keeping the Sunshine State beautiful. In fact, our current solar production is estimated to reduce enough CO2 emissions to preserve approximately 77,000 acres of forestland within the 30-year projected lifetime.

Announcing our new "RENEW FOR TWO" Lease Renewal Program for Rental Housing in Florida

While it is becoming increasingly common to hear/see that some landlords are shocking their residents with exorbitant rent increases that are often in excess of $300, ConcordRENTS understands how such a large increase with little notice can threaten to disrupt or even displace households. As such, ConcordRENTS wants to alleviate such concerns of unanticipated, material rent increases by extending an option to its market-rate residents in good standing to “Renew for Two” which offers two-year lease renewals with increases limited to 5% per annum. Despite it becoming increasingly more expensive to provide and maintain quality rental housing and as rents across most major markets continue rising unabated, ConcordRENTS is pleased to offer limited rent increases over prolonged lease durations and therefore peace of mind where residents don’t have to live in fear of whether they are going to be displaced from their home.
