Do you want to contribute more to your Denver community?
Becoming a property owner can help others improve their quality of life. Denver is a top location for people looking for job opportunities, culture, and new chapters.
The city is known for its robust economy and ever-decreasing unemployment rates. Together, rental property owners and tenants can help build strong economies and communities.
You can't facilitate this change without a successful rental leasing strategy.
Discover ways to attract and retain long-term tenants with the right lease agreement advice.
Real Estate Legal Expertise
A rule of thumb is to never write your lease agreements. A lawyer should handle this process. If you're even considering this step, now is the right time to hire a property management company.
Property managers understand successful property leasing strategies, including lease agreements. They work directly with legal teams to craft contracts with the right language.
You don't want to leave any stone unturned especially when dealing with monthly rent payment stipulations, eviction processes, maintenance rules, utilities, and other obligations.
For example, if you don't clearly outline eviction processes, you're more likely to have a costly legal situation on your hands. Most property owners are not equipped to navigate these challenges on their own. Having a full-service property management company can decrease this stress so that you can focus on building your real estate portfolio.
The Ideal Tenant Selection Process
Your leasing strategy should start by identifying the ideal tenant. Craft a profile complete with demographic information, including annual income, ideal rental behavior, age, and more data points. Factor in location, as well; if your rental is located near a particular industry hub, you'll want to market to prospective renters who work in that niche.
For example, your ideal tenant may be a college graduate who started working in the biomedical industry. They make between $80,000 and $150,000 and are looking to rent a house. Creating a detailed ideal tenant profile will help you create more targeted property marketing campaigns.
Think about the types of amenities this "ideal tenant" is looking for in a rental and tailor your lease strategy to address these demands. This is where effective rental property marketing comes into play. Create campaigns that speak to your ideal tenant while addressing lease stipulations; don't hesitate to include that you want a responsible tenant with strong references.
Property Management Tips for Lease Renewals
You want to keep the best tenants for the long haul. Thus, every leasing strategy needs to consider tenant retention. You can do this through sound maintenance, digital platforms, and incentive policies.
Don't let maintenance or upgrades fall through the cracks; this will send your best tenants to another rental. Instead, work with a property management company that handles requests for you. For example, Walters and Company Property Management offers a maintenance request portal to tenants where they can also check their requests' status.
