    What you need to know about renting

    Before you start looking for potential properties, learn everything you can about renting. What exactly do you need to pay your landlord? How much notice will they require if you want to move out? How much notice do you need to give them if something goes wrong? Be sure to double-check what’s included in rent, too. Is furniture provided, or will you have to supply your own bed and dresser? What kind of parking is available, and how much is it going to cost per month? While researching, don’t neglect searching for reviews and information on housing associations that could be managing properties where you’re interested. They can often save renters from getting stuck living somewhere they don’t want, but their information isn’t always easy to find.

    What sort of person would you be renting to?

    What kind of people would you be looking to rent to? An obvious question, but one worth asking. Will it be couples, families, or will you have individual flats? If it’s a flatshare situation, what sort of people are you looking for as flatmates (similar ages/interests/social situations etc.)? It can be good to think about these things before you start marketing your property so that potential applicants know what they’re signing up for.

    How can I find good tenants?

    Finding good tenants for your rental property is essential to its success. The first step is putting out feelers to your network. Let people know you have a rental opportunity, especially if you have specific requirements (e.g., you must like cats) or are looking for special circumstances (such as someone willing to take over a short-term lease). Another idea: if you belong to any Facebook groups relevant to your area—like expats, women’s clubs, or outdoorsy folk—post there that you’re on the lookout for new renters.

    What is their payment schedule going to be like?

    If you are renting out your house or apartment to long-term tenants, set up a payment schedule that is realistic and convenient for them. Generally, people like to pay at least once per month, but every week or twice a month is also common if you’re living with roommates. With regards to security deposits, be sure to follow local landlord-tenant laws and return deposits as soon as possible after tenants move out—whether it’s 10% of their rent or 2 weeks’ worth of rent, try to adhere to local guidelines so you don’t lose too much money down the line. Setting expectations ahead of time will help avoid problems later on.
