We’ve all heard of competitive Dads, but what about competitive renting? Of course we are referring to the fact that a larger number of people are looking to rent as opposed to buying property at the moment.
Tenants are two-a-penny
Once upon a time just finding the perfect rental pad was the only obstacle for tenants. Nowadays they are up against high volumes of renters also competing for the best bargain, the ideal location and the most amenable landlord.
So how do your tenants seeking their dream rental property win landlords over?
Make the right impression
As with any scenario when you want to impress, such as meeting prospective in-laws or a potential boss, it’s beneficial to look the part. Looking a complete state could easily translate as ‘I don’t care how I look, therefore how I treat your fixtures and fittings and property’. Dressing smartly will say ‘I care about my appearance, myself and therefore your property’.
Offer the complete package
Be polite and personable. Show enthusiasm for the property, but keep it genuine. And most importantly take the paperwork your potential new landlord will want to see. This includes positive references, proof of employment, bank details and a guarantor’s letter if required. This display of organisation will go down well with your landlord and may just give you the edge over other interested parties.
