Where does the data come from?
Specials come from building websites, leasing offices, rental data feeds and apartment listing sites. Each building page links to the source, labels the source type, and lists the date the special was first seen and last updated. Specials with a past deadline drop off the main list automatically and stay in the building’s special history. Details are on How We Track Move-In Specials.
How to read a special
- Weeks or months free are either taken off the first month or spread across the lease as a lower “net effective” rent. Ask which. The net effective rent guide shows how to calculate it.
- “Up to” means only some units or lease terms get the full amount.
- Look & lease offers require you to apply within 24 to 48 hours of touring.
- Est. savings on the board is a rough figure: free weeks times the lowest advertised rent, plus any dollar credit.
How do I report a change or correction?
Email joe.bjorklund@bairdwarner.com with the building name and the current offer, ideally with a link to the building’s own website. Changes update the building page and its last-updated date. Specials change often, so always confirm the current offer with the leasing office before you apply.
