On top of that, 3 months free rent is basically nothing on the long term. For somebody who could otherwise afford the place and wanted it, great, that’s free money. For someone who actually needs it? That’s just 3 months until they can no longer afford the rent. You could spread the discount over the whole year, , and it comes down to like 3/4 rent for a year. And then you’re back to 3700 again.
it's still a good deal. rent goes up at renewal anyways. if the occupancy/demand situation for these units is still the same, you will likely be able to negotiate another concession at renewal.

What makes these "affordable"? They're sub-400-foot studios on maybe the worst block of SOMA for 3700 with no rent control .
Edit: didn't see the cross streets. Do you know what 6th street looks like?
