Prospective tenants need to be ready to apply for a home before they find the one, so the number one insider tip to securing a rental is to be prepared.
Inspecting a property in person is important. This is partly because images don’t tell the full picture, and partly because the application process is more complicated than “first past the post.
If your application is incomplete before sending it off you’ll be setting yourself up for failure.
In short, property managers are mostly looking to draft people who will pay rent on time, people who will not damage the property and are easy to deal with – like a good teammate.
First impressions are crucial, so when you’re inspecting a property, be kind and courteous to others looking at the home.
Offering cash or gifts above and beyond what’s been advertised for a rental isn’t a good idea, and may be seen as a red flag by property managers, Pearson says. Rental bidding is also against the law.
