Set the right rent
Compare with similar homes in the same area and condition. A realistic rent lets faster and attracts more applicants — fewer empty weeks often outweigh a higher asking rent.
Market the property
- Professional photos and a floor plan.
- Clear details: furnished or not, bills, availability, minimum term.
- Highlight what tenants value: air conditioning, parking, outdoor space, transport.
Choose carefully
- Check identity, employment or income and references.
- Meet the applicant at the viewing.
- Agree terms clearly before drafting the lease.
