Rental Concession

Reduction in the normal rental charge to attract prospective tenants or keep existing tenants at lease renewal. Discounts may be given to obtain a higher occupancy rate, make it easier of the owner to derive bank financing, induce a large retailer to relocate, or stimulate a longer term lease with the tenant. A concession may also be in the form of one extra month of rental free for every two years. The property's value is worth less because the rental income base is lower.
