Tips for Tenants: Securing Your Next Rental in a Hot Market!

This episode provides tips for tenants to make a good impression when applying for rental properties. Basic manners and courtesy, wearing socks to viewings, and following instructions in rental ads are important. A survey shows that providing additional information beyond "is it available?" increases the chances of getting a response from landlords. Other tips include presenting a budget sheet, being concise but thorough in answering screening questions, and taking ownership of problems. It is also important to present oneself positively on social media and not badmouth previous landlords. Unique ways to showcase oneself, such as presenting a business card, can also set tenants apart from the competition.
