So what are the burdens associated with the MDU`s large-scale agreements? The answer is twofold: first, the owner may decide to assume this obligation for the same reason that he or she decides to pay for certain services (for example. B waste management) or for certain amenities (. B for example, swimming pool, community services and fitness) that benefit residents, including “free” services as a help to residents, increases renting (or in the case of housing). , the marketing) of any living unit and therefore of the total assets. Second, communication services that are purchased in large quantities, like some other products, may arrive at a lower unit price. In other words, at a unit cost, mass communication services are offered to residents with a significant discount. In general, cable and Internet services cost at least 50% less than a single-family homeowner who would pay for the same services by individual subscription. The benefits of a mass plan go both to the MDU community (which acquires mass service with a substantial discount) and to the service provider (which guarantees 100% penetration of the mini-market, which is owned by MDU). In summary, the first step in reviewing a mass service agreement for an MDU owner is to make an informed decision, based on the characteristics of the MDU community concerned, whether the benefits of a mass agreement outweigh the charges. If it is determined that a mass agreement is appropriate, the next step will be to negotiate the best possible agreement with respect to the services or services to be provided and the mass monthly rate.
Although several factors influence such a negotiation, it can be said with certainty that the initial proposal for mass service by service providers is not the best possible agreement. Whether the value added is greater than the costs in each case depends on a large number of considerations. These considerations all relate to the fact that a mass service contract is in fact an exclusive agreement on the service or service provided en masse. If video or data services are provided to residents as mass equipment, there will be no second provider of these services or services, as it is likely that a second provider will not invest in a property in which residents are in fact forced to pay for the delivery of the great pontooner.
