Introduction
If you have more than one apartment and you want to rent them, you must organize the apartments in order for you to get a good rent each month. So here are some tips for the apartments that you have so that you will rent them quickly and safely.
Step 1
First the apartments that you have for rent must attract a certain type of people depending on the space they have. For example if you have a one bedroom apartment then it would be wise to rent it to a student or to a person that is alone. You won't get too much money for the apartments of that kind, but it will be a start.
Step 2
If the apartments have 2 bedrooms, a good idea would be to rent them to a family with children. But first you should ask the neighbors if they would mind to have small children as their neighbors. If it is a quite area, the family that will occupy the apartment will almost surely leave in a short time. If the apartments that you want to rent are penthouses you should search for people who have a lot of money to spend, not persons will regular jobs. It is a well known fact that if they don't earn too much they will not be able to pay the rent and so you will lose money every month
Step 3
Before you rent the apartments you should make them look good. A fresh paint job won't hurt and if you can afford new furniture that's even better. Also you should equip them with stoves, fridges and air conditioning. This will give you the chance to ask a little more for the rent that you want. When you want to rent the apartments that you have and you are sure you have found the right persons that won't be any trouble, it is wise to ask them for a guarantee. This usually means a month’s rent just to be sure that if they leave in a hurry or break something you will be covered.
Tips
If you are in a hurry and want to rent them quick, you should ask help at a real estate agency. They will help you rent them for a small commission that the person who will want the apartment will pay. So it's no charge for you and completely safe if you sign a contract with the real estate company. If you decide do work with only one real estate company they will be pleased and will get involved even more in trying to rent your apartments.
