Many of the tenants have occupied their units for an extended period, during which time rent increases have been applied conservatively. As a result, when compared with similar properties in the local area, current rents are below market value. This provides a clear opportunity for the new owners to significantly increase the annual rental income by gradually adjusting rents to reflect current local housing prices.
