Landlords Info - Tips

 

By nature, tenants are more likely to care for a property if it is presented in a clean, neat, and tidy manner. The preparation you put into getting your property ready for rental will also result in making it more appealing to prospective tenants.

Here are a few thoughts in presenting your investment property for rental:

 

  • Remove all rubbish
  • Clean all windows, doors, walls, and skirting boards (no cobwebs please!)
  • Mop tiled areas of bathrooms, kitchen & laundry
  • Steam clean carpets
  • Dust and clean inside cupboards, drawers and bench tops
  • Weed gardens and mow lawns, cut back trees or shrubs if necessary
  • Check all lights, appliances, and smoke detector; they should be in working order and function properly
  • Check areas around that may require attention, make sure that any minor repairs are completed (dripping taps, loose or missing door knobs, sticking drawers and cracked windows)
