Tips To Get The Most From Your Rental Ad
Tips To Get The Most From Your Rental Ad
1. It is very important to have a contact phone number on your listing. We have found that 73 of potential tenants using NiagaraRents.com would rather call than send an email.
2. Do something special provide a service or offer an incentive that makes it hard for potential tenants to move on to the next listing.
3. Provide parking or make it easy for your tenants to park a car.
4. Provide laundry. Tenants wont want to drag their laundry in and out of your house rental. This simple feature will go a long way.
5. Prewire your house with Cable/DSL service. Your tenants will want this anyway so you are better off having it professionally installed. It will help you rent the house faster and avoid tenants drilling holes in your walls.
6. Be as descriptive as possible when writing your ad. Many tenants will do searches for specific features and you want them to find your ad right off the bat.
7. Spend some time researching what other rentals in the area rent for. Set your rental price accordingly.
8. Begin looking for tenants as soon as you know the property will be available. This could be three to four months before. Use extra time to screen tenants and prepare the home for rent.
9. No matter how secure you are as a landlord a written rental agreement is necessary to protect you. A simple document that states the terms of your agreement with a renter will help save you a lot of money aggravation and countless hours if an issue does arise.
10. Reach out to your existing tenants and find out how they feel about living in your rental. Then try to address any concerns they may have before they become issues.
