Keys to Finding a Good Renter in the Salt Lake City Area

Keys to Finding a Good Renter in the Salt Lake City Area


Sometimes finding a quality renter for your property seems hopeless and it's hard to figure out where to start looking. Here are some good tips on getting a great renter...

1) Show off your property: When potential renters come to look at your property make sure it looks its best. The tenants want to be able to see all of the great aspects your property has to offer and they also want to be able to envision themselves living in it. Keeping the home up to date and well maintained will broaden the people it appeals to.  Things like updated appliances and flooring can make a huge difference. 

2) Keep your home inviting: Having a clean property helps potential tenants see themselves living there and where they can put their things. Also, a fresh inviting smell gives a great first impression. Something light and fresh, not too overpowering, if your property is vacant you can open the windows and circulate the air before a showing. 

3) Market well: Marketing is a major key in finding a renter. There are many forms of marketing, some can be costly but as the saying goes, "you get what you pay for". Lucky for you Property Solutions of Utah has many advertising outlets including all major national and local rental sites, our website and signs on your property. These avenues along with our amazing professional photography makes your place look top notch and reach anyone looking for a rental!  

4) Preform thorough background, credit and rental checks: Property Solutions of Utah uses one of the best background checks available and we also do reference checking for ALL of our applicants. We like to know we are picking the best applicant for your property to better insure a successful lease agreement.

5) Be prompt in responding: Addressing any questions or concerns potential tenants have about your property quickly assures them that you will be a great Landlord. At Property Solutions of Utah we pride ourselves in keeping open and continuous communication between ourselves, Tenants and Owners. This helps in many areas including, finding the right tenant quickly, addressing any issues that arise- maintenance or otherwise, and making sure the property is being taken care of. 

6) Ask: Asking potential renters what their thoughts are at the end of showing your property can help you with future showings and can also help you market better. Also, finding out how they found your property can show you where most of your business is coming from and where you should focus your advertising in the future.
