What you will work through.
Price for the rental market
Compare the property with current renter choices rather than backing into rent from the mortgage payment.
Set the process before applications arrive
Use written criteria, approved screening procedures and consistent communication.
Define the operating rules
Use the lease and appropriate addenda to make responsibilities, dates, payments and property-specific terms clear.
Plan the next decision early
Put renewal, turnover and potential sale decisions on the calendar before the lease end forces them.
Put the guide to work
Build the leasing plan around the property.
Tell me the property address, current condition, occupancy and desired availability date. I will follow up about pricing, presentation, exposure, showings and the appropriate scope of tenant-placement service.
