Reach Prospective Tenants

Advertise Your Rental Property Online

If you want to rent out your house or home yourself, getting your property in front of prospective tenants is an important first step.

A strong rental listing should give people a clear understanding of the property before they make an enquiry. Include accurate property information, suitable photographs, rental details and the key features prospective tenants need to know.

The right rental advertising approach can help your property reach people actively looking for a place to rent while allowing you to remain involved in the process.

Tenant Enquiries

Find and Screen Prospective Tenants

Once your rental property is advertised, prospective tenants can contact you with questions or enquiries.

You can communicate directly with interested renters, provide additional property information and gather the details needed to assess applications.

A consistent process can make it easier to compare prospective tenants and keep track of enquiries as you move through the rental process.

As the landlord, you remain involved in deciding how enquiries are handled and which applications you want to consider.

From Enquiry to Application

Arrange Inspections and Applications

Property inspections allow prospective tenants to view the home and ask questions before deciding whether to apply.

You can arrange suitable inspection times, communicate directly with prospective tenants and manage applications as they come through.

Keeping inspection details and applications organised can help you move efficiently from initial enquiries to tenant selection.

Make the Decision

Choose Your Tenant

After reviewing enquiries, inspections and applications, you can decide which prospective tenant is suitable for your property.

Managing the process yourself means you remain directly involved in the tenant selection process rather than handing this responsibility to a traditional property manager.

Use a clear and consistent approach when reviewing applications and make sure your rental process follows the applicable requirements.

Keep Control

Rent Your Property Without Ongoing Management Fees

If you want to rent your property yourself, you may prefer to stay directly involved rather than use ongoing traditional property management.

You can remain involved in communication with prospective tenants, property inspections and tenant selection while using a rental advertising service to promote your property.

This approach gives landlords more direct involvement in the rental process and lets them choose how much support they need.
