As a landlord, you already know the benefits of being able to attract great tenants. Rent paid in full and on time, property well cared for and staying long term are just three of those benefits! But why is it that some Auckland rentals attract great tenants and others, tenants which are not so desirable? We’ll share with you how you too can attract the right kind of tenants for your rental.

5 Ways to Attract Great Tenants to Your Auckland Rental

One of the best ways to measure the desirability of your rental property, is to look at it as if you were a tenant. What features or characteristics of it do you like? What would you change if you could? Obviously, there are going to be many things which can’t be altered, such as the layout or location. But there are many low-cost things you can do to increase the likelihood of getting the right tenants. Here are five of our favourites:

  1. Regular maintenance – keep your property looking great and without any annoying faults, by having it maintained regularly. This includes regular painting outside and in, keeping hedges and trees trimmed, fences repaired and all the elements working on the oven.
  2. Background checks – appearances can be deceiving, so all prospective tenants need a thorough background check. Not only does this save you time and money chasing rent, but also helps prevent property damage. This keeps your rental always looking great, which is essential to getting and keeping the right tenants.
  3. Be responsive – you want your tenant to stay long term, so when they have any issues, you need to act quickly. The problem is that this takes up your time, which is where we can help! As property managers in the Rodney and North Shore areas, we’ll look after your tenants needs for you. Find out how now!
  4. Advertise effectively – being able to reach prospective tenants is crucial, which is why you need to advertise in the right places. It’s one of the areas we specialise in and why we are so effective at getting great tenants for our client’s rentals.
  5. Promote the positive – if your rental has been drug tested and given the green light, let prospective tenants know! Likewise, if you have had a rental warrant of fitness completed, promote that too!
