Concession Anyone?

No, not the concession stand at the ballgame or the circus. Although, the apartment rental market has turned into a bit of a circus recently. My reference to concessions concerns the FREE rent and discounts landlords are shelling out to attract renters right now. The Triangle vacancy rate sits at about 9.5% as of September 2009 and rents have declined more than 1% or 2% in some markets over the last 12 months. The News & Observer ran a feature on this today.

It seems like a natural market cycle with the unemployment rate rising and the overall softening we've seen in the economy. Are YOU lowering rents or working harded to keep units occupied?
