As a property manager, one of your roles is to screen tenants. This include having the tenant complete a tenancy application form. Below are 4 things you can do during the tenancy application process.
- Highlight what we do differently when processing applications and what private owners can’t do if they manage themselves.
- It’s quite important at this point to ensure you can show your clients that you’re very strict on your application process as this can be the key area that you can educate an owner to use an agent against them doing it themselves. E.g. Collecting information from two previous tenancies, two current referees, and the last two year’s employment.
- Remind them that you have tenancy “blacklist” companies you can use.
- Give them a copy. If you have any rival agent applications (and they aren’t as detailed as yours), show the client the comparison, but block out the company names.
