The thesis deals with leases in the region of Brno, the breakdown of the various districts and particularly in the various locations, including characteristics that affect these leases. In each selected municipality of 10 flats are selected in each category for the winter and examined 10 categories of housing for the summer period. Districts were selected to best represent the geographical breakdown of the city of Brno to the north and south. The data are statistically evaluated and incorporated into the graphics. Thus, the data obtained are intended for practical use for the valuation of yield method.

This study looks at characteristics of rental gated communities in the United States from a national perspective and based on a case study of four Southwestern Counties, Riverside County and San Bernardino County in California, Maricopa County in Arizona, and Clark County, Nevada. Tenure differences between owned and rental gated communities are compared. The study also debates who actually benefits from rental gated communities and what that effect that has upon the community. This analysis is done by assessing whether minorities experience higher housing opportunities in rental gated communities newer, fast growing areas as the study area. Descriptive statistics of rental gated community characteristics are presented and neighborhood diversity indices are analyzed. The study finds that rental gated communities are much like their owned gated community counterparts and that new housing markets do not present better housing opportunities (at the neighborhood level)for minorities, particularly those neighborhoods with more rental gated properties present. Policy implications are discussed. / Ph. D.

The Swedish residential rental system and market has been discussed and criticized diligently the past years. A reformed rental law was therefore the 1 stof January 2011 implemented. This has the purpose to better reflect the consumer’s priorities with a more market related rental determination. With this change, it is of interest to compare it to another rental system, with market rents. In the German rental system, free rental setting is allowed in new leases. This thesis aims to evaluate and compare the rental system in Sweden and Germany. The comparison was done after reading several reports, articles and literature as well as interviews with Swedish and German actors. Results show that the reformed Swedish law will not lead to major changes, though it might lead to a more adequate rental determination system. The analysis of the German system, with its free rental setting for new leases show that is better functioning than the Swedish. It is however positive that the new Swedish law incorporates more market related variables, even though the determination of a market rent is quite complex. A free rental setting allocates diversity in the market and contributes to a heterogeneous market, as it is possible to meet different consumers demand. The rental market can be expanded though, with a free rental setting when subletting condominiums. A conclusion from the analysis is that Sweden should strive to adopt a German system with free rental setting in new leases.

This research is about lease incentives, concessions and inducements provided by landlords to tenants in the commercial property industry in Johannesburg, South Africa. Landlords must provide lease incentives to prospective tenants in order to remain competitive or they run the risk of losing these tenants to their competitors. This research seeks to study the subject of lease incentives, and determine their effectiveness in securing tenants. In order to achieve this, the researcher investigates a number of factors:  The drivers behind a tenant signing a lease on a vacant space  The methods that landlords use to find tenants  The different incentives in the market  The methods of establishing the lease incentive values  The factors that affect which incentives a landlord can offer  The importance and effectiveness of providing lease incentives A qualitative research approach is used and focuses on meaning, experience and understanding to analyse the data that has been acquired through the use of a survey questionnaire. The sample population in the survey is made up of property specialists that deal in the subject under study as part of their daily work responsibilities. The research is conducted in the city of Johannesburg. The research concludes that the top two tenant drivers for office space are location and rental. Landlords need to effectively market their vacant space to attract tenants to their properties and the best method of doing this is through the use of vacancy schedules sent out to property brokerages and agencies. The top two lease incentives provided in the market are the rent-free period and the tenant installation allowance. These two incentives need to be provided by landlords to effectively compete with their competitors. The most important factors to consider in deciding which incentives to provide in the marketplace are the current economic conditions and the state of the space markets. Landlords understanding all these key variables will effectively reduce vacancies by securing more tenants and increase their overall competitiveness in the marketplace.

Taking into consideration the existing financial crisis in Spain and the opportunity it carries for real estate agents and rooms/apartments owners to rent out their properties, roomsDB.net propose to launch a new room rental website to take advantage of the current niche existing in Madrid, Spain. The management team have direct knowledge of developing and running a successful room rental website in Singapore with six years of experience. In the big market of real estate we determined that the best option for us in Madrid is non-luxury apartments/rooms. We are confident that we are not going to find fierce competition in the medium-term and we will take advantage of this to become the leaders in this segment of the market. Moreover, some of the current competitors do not have the option for agents to post their offers in their websites and we do will offer this service. The website will be different from competitors in customer oriented service, user friendly platform, immediate response to enquiries as well as achieving a lower cost base. The promoters plan to raise an initial €60,000 to launch the website with a forecast of obtaining the 25% of the market share in the industry in Madrid. Based on case scenarios forecast, the website is forecast to generate cash from the first year of operation and the business will be also cash generative from the same year. The attached case scenario forecasts show a rapid growth and producing attractive returns. By year five, the return on investment is 55 per cent.

This paper presents a microsimulation model of the rental sector in the Greater Toronto (GTA). The main contributions of this research are that it develops a conceptual framework for modeling housing issues and policies, and implements a rental model within the Integrated Land Use, Transport, and Environment (ILUTE) framework developed at the University of Toronto. The key components of the rental model include: (1) the production of rental units; (2) a tenure choice model; (3) a rent setting model; and (4) a rental market model. The rental model is simulated yearly from 1986 till 2006. The preliminary results are presented for the number of households renting, the average rent per census tract, and the number of renter households facing affordability issues. Two areas of future research are proposed that seek: (1) to improve the current model’s accuracy; and (2) to develop a more dynamic model.
