Top 3 Cleanliness tacts to Rent out your Property

The major aim of property holders and homeowners is to rent out their property as soon as possible to the best of the tenants. This is what that truly benefits the landlords. Now, what are the things that a property owner looks for in a good tenant? Someone who will pay the rent on time; will take care of the home or the property rented; and will be respectful enough to not cause problems. Having a tenant who has all these qualities requires the right mix of price, the condition of your home or property, and the location for sure.

It All Starts With the First Impressions

Most of the property holders think that they will get an added advantage and a lift if they start advertising their rental property right away. As soon as you list your home or property for rent, you will get plenty of applications right away. But you should not be interested in any application and should rent out your property to anyone and everyone out there. You need to concentrate on the best applications. However, as landlords and property holders look for certain things in a tenant, the tenants also look for certain things in a property that they want to hire and the owner of that particular rental property. Therefore, in order to get the best tenants, owners need to provide the best they can.

Everything depends on the first impression. On average, a tenant decides within the first 30 to 60 seconds of visiting the property as to whether he or she would be interested in renting it. So, you only have one chance, and that too this small, to make a great first impression and making the tenant want to rent your property. After the tenant likes your property by visiting it in the first place, only then he or she will base the decision on personal preferences like furniture, kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, etc.

You may now wonder, “What is the best way to give a good first impression?” The answer to this is really simple – make your home or property feel clean and well maintained to the tenants. There are 3 important factors that play a major role in the cleanliness of your property and helps determine whether or not the home or property is clean. These include:
1. Condition of the Paint
2. Condition of the Flooring
3. General Cleanliness

There is a reason that these things are mentioned in the given order. Whenever a tenant enters your property, the first things that are visible to him or her are the walls of your house (while looking straight), and then the floor (while looking down). Until this time, the tenant has not gotten far enough inside the home to see if it is really properly cleaned.

Now, let’s look into the above mentioned three factors with a little depth.

The Condition of Paint on the Walls

If the walls of your home or property have marked all over, or are covered in outdated wallpaper, or are yellowed, it will certainly feel dirty, and will also make your home feel untidy. An untidy property is a huge turn off for tenants. A simple way to solve this is to get a fresh coat of paint which will go a long way.
This one thing will help you get tenants easily and quickly. Or else you will have to end up reducing the rent amount for some other tenant who might not be up to your expectations. To sum up, the cost of getting touch-up paint will be much lesser than the time spent in searching for e new tenant and reducing the rent.

How Clean and Well Your Floor Looks Matters

Bad flooring is a signal about the indulgence of the property owner towards the maintenance of the property. If the floor is covered with stains, or tear marks, has a matted appearance or gives out a funky odor, it should be replaced immediately. Even if the new flooring has been damaged and not replaced before showing out the property to the new tenants, it might cost you a great tenant, since he or she will not stick around to know the reason behind this. They will simply look out for other better options.

General Cleanliness of the Property Goes a Long Way

What is the general cleanliness? Yes, you guessed it right! General cleanliness is the cleanliness of your home, or property in the general sense, like seeping and mopping of the floors, cleaning the dust inside the kitchen cabinets or wardrobes, dusting the switches and outlet covers, cleaning the light fixtures and windows, maintaining the curtains, etc. These little details matter a lot to the tenants. And unlike paint and flooring fixtures, domestic cleaning does not cost much. But this is the duty of property owners to get the property cleaned the first time before renting it out to the tenants.

Once your property is rented out, it is the duty of the tenants to take care of the property and not intentionally cause damage to the things provided. However, with regular use, things like electronics, or shower jets, etc. get damaged. Keep this in mind that it is your responsibility, being the property owner to maintain these things regularly before it causes much trouble to the tenants.

The tenants also need to keep in mind that they must leave the property in the same condition as it was rented out to them because this will directly affect getting their bond back from the owners. To prevent such situations, hire end of lease cleaning services Sydney and get your bond back.
