The Future of the Utah Rental Industry

By Taylor Smith, Utah Apartment Association

In every industry there is the temptation to make one of two mistakes: either assume that

things are always going to be the way they are right now, or to focus so much on the work that you have in front of you that you have no time left over to consider what might be coming.

Of course predicting the future is not easy, but landlords should be conscious of what is going on around them and understand how the mar-ket is shifting if they want to adapt and grow their business.

Every six months Equimark Mul-tifamily Investment Services re-leases a report that is “designed to provide insight into current condi-tions in the apartment market. This report also describes historic trends

and the future outlook for the multi-family market.”

According to the most recent re-port from Equimark, “the Greater Salt Lake multifamily market…con-tinued to strengthen. Low unem-ployment, strong population growth,

and impressive job growth have col-lectively made Utah’s economy one of the best in the nation.” This meant that Salt Lake County saw an aver-age 4.9% rent growth in 2013. Over-all, “2013 marks the fourth straight

Sometimes landlords mistakenly imagine that once they have gotten rid of an old tenant and

successfully put a new tenant into a unit, they don’t have to do anything else except respond to maintenance requests and collect rent. If only it were that easy.

The key to being a successful land-lord is figuring out how to do two things well: asset management and customer service. Asset management involves doing frequent inspections, responding to maintenance needs, and making plans for future upkeep and upgrades to the property. Cus-tomer service, on the other hand is a bit more nebulous, but the corner-stone to good customer service in the Rental industry is good communica-tion.

So, how should you communicate effectively with your tenants? Here are the advantages and disadvantag-es of some of the more common com-munication techniques landlords use to communicate with tenants.

Apartment residents have long held in high regard such amenities as a fitness

center, a patio, a washer/dryer and a pool, but now of equal importance as those features is having high-speed community-wide Internet service.

Having high-speed community-wide Internet service is now among the most desired amenities accord-ing to a 2013 survey by the National Multi Housing Council. More than 70 percent of respondents said that it was important or very important.

Easy enough, right? Practically every restaurant and coffee shop you visit has wireless Internet service. Most libraries have it. Many college campuses do too. If the corner Star-bucks (and mid-block Starbucks and other corner Starbucks) can pull this off, surely you can too. Is it as simple as expanding the WiFi you already have running in your business center or around the pool area? It’s not.

As many an apartment manager has discovered, there are a plethora of significant hurdles to setting up a WiFi system that provides consistent, fast and full coverage across a num-ber of buildings and in open spaces.

It would be hard to design some-

thing that would be tougher to bring WiFi to than an apartment commu-nity. Concrete. Stucco and wire fram-ing. Metal duct work. Hot-water heaters and washers and driers. Fire-places. And any number of devices in each unit trying to connect to the Internet. In fact, everything apart-ment communities have in quantity interfere with the microwave level frequencies that WiFi uses.

The vastness of the area to provide coverage is yet another challenge. Most WiFi access points (AP) have

an indoor broadcast range of be-tween 25 to 100 feet, so dozens if not hundreds of AP units are required to create complete coverage. These AP units need to be installed with great care and must operate in coordina-tion so that all areas get coverage but that each signal doesn’t interfere with the other.

In most urban areas, all the other devices operating on the license-free radio frequency cause interference with WiFi systems, which weakens the signal and can cause interrup-

tions. These devices include mobile phones, baby monitors, radios, two-way radios and other WiFi systems. Couple that with the small antenna most consumer devices have and you have connectivity issue.

Security is increasingly one of the biggest issues in setting up a WiFi system. Hackers target public WiFi systems that are weakly defended or are poorly designed, snooping about for sensitive information to ex-ploit. With the high-profile security breaches in the past few years, users are more conscience than ever of the need for top-quality security.

Perhaps the greatest hurdle in in-stalling community-wide WiFi in apartment communities has been the cost. The electronic hardware and cost of installing the equipment can easily top $100,000 (not to mention on-going maintenance), too great a price tag for most apartment com-munity owners to justify installing, leaving residents to each get their own Internet service.

But a few wireless internet ser-vice companies have developed new equipment, software and delivery methods that solve the issues that

Good Health is Good Business - Smoke-free Rental Housing in Utah

Vis it us at

www.rentalhousingjournal .com

By Cassandra Fairclough, Utah Department of Health

Smoke-free housing has become the norm across the U.S. and right here in Utah. There is no federal or state law that prohibits an owner from implementing a smoke-free policy for properties. In Utah, the Second Hand Smoke Amend-ments establish secondhand smoke as a nuisance under the law, and give author-ity for apartment rental contracts to in-clude prohibitions on smoking in units, on the premises, or both. The Utah In-door Clean Air Act bans smoking within 25 feet of any entrance way, exit, open window or air intake of buildings where smoking is prohibited. It also establishes the rights of owners, agents and propri-etors to ban smoking anywhere on their premises.

Secondhand smoke is the third-lead-ing cause of preventable death in the U.S. and is responsible for heart disease

and lung cancer, in non-smoking adults, and ear infections, respiratory complica-tions, and risk of sudden infant death syndrome, in children. A resident who smokes in a unit puts future residents at risk. Secondhand smoke can travel through air ducts, cracks in walls and floors, and along plumbing and electrical lines to the unit for years.

The most recent U.S. Surgeon Gener-al’s Report published in 2010 states that, “The debate is over, the science is clear; there is no safe level of exposure to sec-ondhand smoke.” The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) strongly encourages all HUD-funded and subsidized properties to pass smoke-free policies. HUD made its recommendation because environmen-tal tobacco smoke can migrate between units in multi-family housing, causing respiratory illness, heart disease, cancer and other adverse health effects for those living in neighboring residences. Many

property owners and managers through-out Utah have adopted a non-smoking policy not only to improve the health of their residents, but also their bottom line. “The main reason for the decision to become smoke-free communities is for the health of our tenants,” says Sandy Aldrich, Occupancy Director, Danville Development Corporation.

Advantages of a Smoke-free Policy

Market DemandAs residents understand the health

dangers of secondhand smoke, more are looking for housing that prohibits smok-ing. Currently, 93% of Utah households do not allow smoking in their home. However, individuals have no control over lingering smoke from previous ten-ants. National surveys show that there is support for no-smoking policies, and that even smokers prefer to smoke out-side.

Lower Cleaning CostsProperty owners and managers un-

derstand the high maintenance costs as-sociated with having smoking in their units, including: cigarette burn marks, nicotine- and tar-stained walls, and car-pets that smell of tobacco smoke. On av-erage, it costs two to seven times more to clean a unit that has been smoked in. “We decided to implement a smoke-free policy on our properties to eliminate the health risks of secondhand smoke and also to cut down on smoke dam-age in our apartment units,” says Jenifer Ewoniuk, Cowboy Properties.

Lower Fire RiskSmoke-free policies can increase the

safety of residents and property. Ac-cording to the National Fire Protection Association, smoking materials are the leading cause of home fire deaths in the

to arrange and involves travel by one or both parties. Also, some ten-ants would rather be left alone and feel that frequent requests for face to face meetings are intrusive. Finally, face to face meetings don’t leave a re-cord, so you and the tenant will have

to rely on each other’s memories for what was said.

Phone CallsAdvantages: Talking on the phone

usually means getting an immediate response to questions that you are

asking and enables a discussion.Disadvantages: Many tenants

will screen their calls. Furthermore, playing phone tag is frustrating and time consuming. Also, like in person meetings, there is no automatic re-cord made of the interaction (unless you record your phone calls, some-thing which might be illegal unless you notify the person on the other line.)

Text MessagesAdvantages: Many tenants prefer

communicating via text because it is much less intrusive than a phone call or visit. It is also often easier to communicate because texting allows “asynchronous communication” where you can send messages back and forth when convenient (most people will respond faster to a text than a voice mail). Perhaps most im-portant, texts leave a record that you can use later.

Disadvantages: It can be difficult to get an immediate response from tenants, and conversations can take longer. It is also harder to pick up on nuances, such as sarcasm, in writing. Finally, the size limitations on texts can make it difficult to send long messages.

E-mailsAdvantages: E-mails offer many

of the same advantages as texts,

but they allow you to develop your thoughts more carefully. They also al-low for flexibility in when and where you will respond, and can seem more professional than just sending texts - and they are free to set up and use! Above all, e-mails are the easiest way of recording your communications for future use.

Disadvantages: E-mails can of-ten come across as impersonal, and if they are sent in an argumentative tone they can escalate quickly. You should always be calm while writing an e-mail. Also, sometimes people don’t check their e-mail frequently, so you might want to check with the tenant before communicating with them this way.

ConclusionWhat is the best way to commu-

nicate with your tenants? The best answer is “however they prefer to communicate” but you should also consider the pros and cons of other methods. Being a professional land-lord means being able to communi-cate effectively, and you should be-come comfortable with making visits and phone calls on the one hand and sending text messages and e-mails on the other.

year that the apartment market has seen strong positive rent growth. The average rental rate at the end of 2009 was $739 compared to $850 at the end of 2013.”

Jed Milburn, one of the main advi-sors at EquiMark recently said “the trend is definitely shying away from home ownership and toward rental housing.”

However, not everything is smooth sailing. The rapid increase in the vacancy rate during the second half of 2013 is listed by Equimark as giving “some cause for concern” and construction of new apartments “represents more than 6 years’ worth of new supply that could be deliv-ered in the next 24 to 36 months.”

This trend has continued in 2014. According to KSL, analysts have pre-dicted that Salt Lake County market

for rentals will begin to decline even-tually, since developers have added almost 2,500 over the past year and a half. Milburn’s advice based on that forecast is to “be cautious going forward, make sure [you expect] a little bigger vacancy rate and make sure [you] know where the market is heading,"

How can you best adapt to the changing nature of the Rental Market in Utah? By anticipating the changes before they happen. As an individual landlord these changes can be dra-matic, but they can be hard to mea-sure and predict. Membership in the UAA and access to the bets informa-tion and data will help you achieve your goals and be prepared for what-ever comes our way.

have long prevented apartment com-munities from installing campus-like WiFi. A growing number of apart-ment communities are installing the service and marketing the much-de-sired amenity.

Residents of the Emparrado Apartments, a 154-unit community in Mesa, have been receiving high-speed Internet service since the spring. In addition to faster speeds, resident are most excited about be-ing able to unbundled service from cable providers, saving money, and in the flexibility of service, said Deb-bie Achs, property manager.

“I live here and I am dumping the Internet portion of my cable service,” she says. Most residents don’t want a land line phone, and a good portion want to drop cable TV service, given the increasing cost.

Having campus-style WiFi has made the property more attractive to potential residents, Achs said. “It's been the one amenity that every single potential resident has asked about,” she said. “It's been a huge in-fluence. It just opens the door to new and better things.”

How have wireless Internet ser-vice companies overcome the diffi-culties in having campus-style WiFi in apartment communities?

First, they’ve taken advantage of the high-speed and high-capacity data packages available directly from data center operators. By eliminating the cable or satellite dish companies from the equation, end users get In-ternet service at a fraction of the pri-or cost and the apartment communi-ty owners can establish a new profit source. Installation costs are typical-ly borne by the Internet service com-panies, who earn a return from the monthly charge to end-users.

“The technical solutions were dif-ficult; we tried many designs that just didn’t perform,” said Rory Conaway, a well-known radio frequency engi-neer and owner of Phoenix-based Triad Wireless, which designed and installed the campus-style Wi-Fi sys-tem that was installed at the Empar-rado Apartments. “But we knew the market demand for campus-style WiFi was strong and worth the engi-neering and technical effort.”

At the behest of Red Hot-Spot Company, a start-up Internet ser-vice provider, Triad Wireless spent more than a year in R&D creating a proprietary Wi-Fi design for apart-ments. Access points are where end users connect to the Internet. Triad’s design uses access points that are a

third the size of the smallest access point previously on the market. The small size and increase in power made it possible to design and build a campus-style WiFi system that overcomes stucco, steel, firewalls and a geographically spread com-munity, Conaway said.

Concurrently, Red Hot-Spot de-veloped a proprietary software system that manages each account separately, blocks external sharing, allows each household to have mul-tiple devices connected at any one time, manages gamers, and manages the revenue and service components.

“It seems like a simple task – hav-ing multiple users and multiple de-vices trying to connect from one apartment unit – but it was quite a challenge to develop the software to allow that to happen without con-nection and security issues,” said Red Hot-Spot President Zach Spain.

Security for end users was also addressed in designing the cam-pus-style WiFi system, Spain said. Rather than users having to rely on the security filter on their home com-puter and devices, which are often outdated or over-matched, users of campus-style WiFi are protected by a commercial security system that filters out threats and dangers before they ever get reach users' computers.

“This is a level of security typical-ly found at Fortune 500 companies,” Spain said. “We knew we had to of-fer that kind of peace of mind on a WiFi system, given that it’s viewed as a shared system and because of the increasing level of threats on the Internet.”

The Phoenix-based company, which is just two years old, has in-stalled campus-style WiFi in a num-ber of communities in Phoenix and Tucson, and expects to start con-struction on dozens of communities throughout the Southwest by fall.

Resident Retention one of the Keys to SuccessDirector’s Message:

By L. Paul Smith, Executive DirectorUtah Apartment Association

There is a universal truth in property manage-ment – turnover creates

cost and work. That’s not to say there aren’t costs and work at other times. But it is true that when renters move out, our efforts and money are concentrated

as we try to restore a revenue stream as soon as possible.

So seasoned landlords learn quickly an important lesson – if you can hang on to your tenants longer, you are likely to have less work and less cost. Some ex-perts say each turnover costs an average of $3,000 in turnover expenses (things like cleaning, carpet replacement, mar-keting, etc) and vacancy cost (the time the place sits unrented times the daily rental amount).

Turnover in Utah is as high as 80% - meaning the average tenant stays about 14 months. Over ten years, that’s 8 turn-overs. Multiplied by $3,000 each that is $24,000 more expense than having one tenant for that time.

So what are the keys to retention? First, understand why tenants move. Only 30% have to, because they buy a home, move out of state or get married. A full 70% of renters that move from your rental will move to another similar rental within 20 miles. Of those who moved to another rental when they really didn’t have to, they say they did so because they weren’t getting what they wanted where the where. The landlord wasn’t A) responsive, B) reliable or C) respectful. So the good news is with better customer service, these renters say you would be able to keep them longer.

Second, implement the following practices to encourage renters to stay longer:

• Sign long term leases, if possible, that only expire in times of year conve-nient for you. There is nothing worse than having a month to month tenant give you notice they are moving in a bad time, like winter.

• Give incentives for renewing a lease and don’t let tenants go month to month. M to M agreements give them too much flexibility unless you are being compensated by a month to month fee. Try to offer improvements

to the property you can tie to renew-al like new windows, a new garage door, or something you should do anyway, if they will stay. Even carpet and paint can be used to lock them into leases (especially if you have to do it anyway if they did move).

• Allow tenants to customize their rental. They will stay longer if you do. Maybe this is letting them have an accent wall the paint color of their choice, their own window coverings, or planting their plants in the yard. If people can customize they will feel more comfortable and stay longer.

Whatever you do, recognize having one tenant, even a mediocre one, for a long time, could be much less work and ultimately make you more money in the long run, than having a new tenant every year. Work hard to keep them happy and use leases and incentives to lock them in to new long term leases. If you do you will be more successful.

RENTAL HOUSING JOURNAL UTAH

By Steve Randall, President Utah Apartment Association

One of the UAA Staff Members recently had a telemarketer call and

ask to speak with the owner. He re-sponded “we have 3,500 owners, which one would you like to speak to?” The flustered call-center em-ployee didn’t know what to make of that, so they said thank you and hung up.

As a member, the Utah Apartment Association is your Association. The

board of directors represents the membership and makes decisions on behalf of the Association, but you as a member are the reason that the pro-grams and services offered by the as-sociation exist. I think that we should take a great deal of pride in what we have all accomplished together to further the cause of the Rental Hous-ing Industry here in our state – from the big apartment communities to the property management compa-nies and the landlords with just one or two units, all of us have a stake in protecting our businesses and work-

ing together.But, however great the Associa-

tion is, we are only as strong as our members are involved. So I would encourage you to become more in-volved in the Association. We have many opportunities to help out, ranging from volunteering to help out for an upcoming event, to donat-ing to the political action committee.

One of the biggest things that we can do is reach out to other poten-tial members and tell them about the value of being a member of the Utah Apartment Association. Most of us know at least one other landlord or

vendor who provides a service to landlords who probably doesn’t even know that the Association exists! So it is time for us all to take ownership of our Association and help it grow; to invite people to our monthly Gen-eral Membership Meeting, share a copy of this newsletter or ask a sup-plier if they are a member.

Working together we can continue to improve our industry and grow our association.

Smoke-free...continued from page 4

United States. In 2010, U.S. fire depart-ments responded to an estimated 90,800 smoking material fires. These fires caused 610 civilian deaths, 1,570 civilian injuries, and $663 million in direct prop-erty damage. Just this past June in Og-den, two fires at the same complex were blamed on cigarettes. According to the Salt Lake Tribune, the Ogden City Fire Marshal determined that discarded ciga-rettes sparked the two separate fires, one of which killed a dog. The city estimated the damage from both fires at $250,000.

The Utah Department of Health has developed a new toolkit titled “Good Health Is Good Business: A landlord’s guide to increasing revenue by adopting smoke-free polices.” The guide encour-ages smoke-free policies in apartments and condominiums. It has everything you need to ask questions of your ten-ants, write an addition to your lease that covers a smoke-free policy, and know how to let your residents know about the policy. Once you have decided to go smoke-free, the toolkit can help you es-tablish a time frame and put the policy into action. The toolkit is available on-line, as well as in hardcopy.

The Utah Smoke-free Housing State-wide Directory, an online resource, lists rental properties that have adopted a

non-smoking policy. The directory pro-vides a free service to property manag-ers and owners who wish to list their properties. Numerous affordable hous-ing units throughout Utah have adopted policies. Although these units may not be listed in the directory, the communi-ties are tracked in a database. The Utah Department of Health keeps a database of all rentals that have adopted a policy. As of June 2014, the database has near-ly 400 communities, which comprise of 2,000 buildings and 24,194 units. If your unit is smoke-free, and you want to be listed in the directory, contact the Utah Department of Health at the number be-low.

To access the toolkit and learn more about smoke free policies, visit

A video highlighting smoke-free policies in Utah is available for viewing on

YouTube. Please check out the Department’s online resources, or contact Cassandra

Fairclough at 801-573-6754 for more information on adopting a smoke-free policy

in your community.

Dear

Maintenance Men:Can graffiti scratched windows

be repaired? I have a number of win-dows that have been scratched or etched by graffiti vandals. Replac-ing the window is very expensive. Do you have any recommendations?

Jessie

Dear Jessie:Yes, graffiti damaged windows

can be repaired. It is often a two step process involving removing the scratches or etching with a buffing compound and using anti-graffiti film over the glass. Cerium Oxide rubbing compound is typically used with an electric buffing wheel for getting the scratches or etching out of the glass. Cerium Oxide can be found on the internet, glass & stone shops or good hardware stores. 3-M makes a very good anti-graffiti film that can be used as preventive protection or as a sacrificial layer. If you decide to do the work yourself, be careful with the electric buffing wheel. Keep the buffing wheel moving over the scratches and never concentrate on one spot for long as it will burn the glass. Removing scratches from glass

is a bit of an art and we recommend contacting a repair firm specializing in glass graffiti removal.

Dear Maintenance Men:While getting a unit ready for rent,

I painted the concrete patio with flat concrete paint. The patio looks much better; however I am worried the sur-face may be slick when wet. Should I be concerned and what can I do about it now?

Kristina

Dear Kristina:Concrete patios can be slick when

wet and more so after they have been painted. A simple solution is to use grit mixed in with the paint to give the concrete surface a bit of grip when walked on. Look for a clear non-slip polymer grip additive. The additive is mixed in with the paint or sealer and applied to the concrete with a roller. The polymer grit can be found at any hardware store in either the concrete or paint departments. Polymer grit infused paint can also be purchased if you do not want to mix in the grit. Avoid using silica sand or aluminum oxide; they both work, however they may change the appearance of the surface. Our

recommendation for peace of mind would be to repaint the patio floors using the above information as a guide.

Dear Maintenance Men: I have a number of patio decks

covered in artificial turf. Because of the sun and use, the “turf” is look-ing worn and tattered. What can I do to make it look better? Do I need to remove the old turf before putting down new artificial turf or can I glue down over the old? How do I remove the old turf and is it difficult? If I want to go back to a natural surface, how do I remove the adhesive?

KC

Dear KC:Sounds like you have your work

cut out for you! In order to get the new turf/carpet to look good on the deck, the old must be removed. The new turf/carpet will not stick to the old carpet and the old glue will need to be removed as well. If you have a small area of glued down turf/carpet to remove, use a hand scraper to pry the carpet off the surface. If you have a large area; use a roofing scrapper to quickly remove the carpet. The old glue can be removed using a scraper

and applying an adhesive removal solvent or a heat gun. Never com-bine the heat gun and the solvent as the solvent is flammable. The solvent can be found at any hardware store and should be used in a well venti-lated room. If you don’t want to use a solvent; use a heat gun to soften the glue and use the scraper to remove the glue. Both methods are messy and labor intensive; however the heat gun is the less toxic of the two. If you are not replacing the carpet and want to return to a natural surface; power sanding or media blasting may be needed to remove any trace of the glue. The surface will need to be sealed to complete the job.

RENTAL HOUSING JOURNAL UTAH

During the course of your pro-fessional career as a prop-erty management executive,

building new compensation plans will be one of the most important projects you ever undertake. In fact, this project has the potential to be an explosive issue for your team of SuperStars and must be designed with great care. The information in this article will outline three im-portant steps for building powerful compensation plans and will share many secrets for your success. When a compensation plan is built right, your team will love you and your company success will soar!

Gathering information and setting objectives: Start by evaluating your current compensation plans to see how closely it aligns with the criti-cal success factors for your property management company and your his-torical financial performance. Next, review what percentage of each per-son’s compensation is salary versus commission/bonus and compare this to competitive positions within the geographical locations you man-age. Lastly, develop specific com-pensation objectives, such as: perfor-mance to budget or goals, occupancy for each apartment community, fiscal performance of this quarter com-pared to the same quarter last year, resident retention and/or resident satisfaction surveys.

Tip From The Coach: Remem-ber, each person on your property management team must see a direct connection between their efforts and their compensation plan. In addi-tion, how you define the objectives for your compensation plans will be a direct reflection of the exact indi-vidual or team performance you will receive.

Developing performance mea-surements and plan options: Once you have defined your compensation objectives, the next step is to deter-mine how you will measure perfor-mance. For instance, will your new compensation plan reward individ-ual performance, team performance or a blend of both? In addition, your compensation plans should also con-sider how often commissions/bo-nuses will be paid and what will be the impact if an individual or your team does not meet or exceed their compensation objectives. Next, de-sign several compensation models on a spreadsheet so you can see how an-nual compensation will vary as you change or modify the performance/pay variables. In addition, calculate the range of income your SuperStars will be able to earn over the next 12 to 60 months. Lastly, test and run your historical results through your new compensation plans to verify performance levels and income ex-pectations.

Tip From The Coach: Some of our property management clients like to confidentially share preliminary compensation models with just a few SuperStars in their company to gather some additional insight be-fore finalizing their new compensa-tion plans. In addition, some of our clients will grandfather the compen-sation for their current team but all newly hired team members will be paid based on the new compensa-tion plan. Remember, there is no such thing as a perfect compensa-tion plan, but there is a compensa-tion plan that is well-suited for your property management company. Lastly, just because a compensation plan has worked in the past, does not mean it will work in the future as the property management profession is changing and evolving rapidly.

Selecting and evaluating your options: Once you have tested your compensation plans for accuracy and performance expectations, select the plan that most closely aligns with your company objectives. Sometimes it can be helpful at this point to have another set of eyes, outside of your property management company, re-view your new compensation plan to ensure it’s clear and reasonable. Next, consult with your internal resources to be certain they can de-sign and produce the information required by your new compensa-tion plan. In addition, your team will need a written description of their new compensation plans and a fi-nancial spreadsheet detailing exactly how this compensation will impact them over the next 12 and 24 months.

Tip From The Coach: Once you have presented your new compensa-tion plan to your property manage-ment team schedule a monthly ap-pointment over the next six months to vigorously review and evaluate the results. In addition, ask for feedback on your new compensation plan and swiftly address any problems you or your teams discover.
