A flexible rental schedule changes the timing of payments. Its effect on an apartment's operating outcome depends on the full terms and costs.
Read the arrangement
Confirm eligibility, payment dates, charges and responsibilities. Establish whether a separate provider or agreement is involved. Do not infer a reduction in annual cost from a smaller individual instalment.
Test the operating account
For an owner, examine net receipts and recurring expenditure. For an occupier, examine the complete opening budget and later obligations. Flexibility should be understood as a specific contractual arrangement, not a guarantee of demand or return.
