Where it usually goes wrong
The special is spread over a 12 to 24-month term
Eight weeks free sounds like two months of rent. Spread over a 15 or 18-month lease, it lowers your monthly number less than you think.
Required fees sit outside the base rent
At 12 board buildings, required fees ran $43 to $226.88 a month, median $141.50 (fee survey, Oct 25, 2026). The ad shows none of them.
Renewals price from base, not the special
When the special ends, your renewal starts from base rent. At the board median special, year two jumped about 20% on Oct 25, 2026.
So we price every building after the special, the fees and year two, and we confirm it in writing.
