Yes, landlords can rent their property without a traditional real estate agent by managing the key parts of the rental process themselves.

This can include preparing the property for advertising, creating a rental listing, responding to enquiries, arranging inspections, reviewing applications and choosing a tenant.

The process works best when you keep your property information accurate, respond to enquiries promptly and use a clear process for inspections and applications.
