How to prepare your apartment for renting: 7 steps
A well-prepared apartment rents out faster and for a better price. Here is a short checklist for owners.
First impressions matter. Most tenants decide from the listing photos whether to come and view the apartment.
1. Deep clean
Clean windows, kitchen and bathroom matter most. Consider a professional cleaning service.
2. Fix the small things
A dripping tap, a broken socket or a loose door handle make the place look neglected.
3. Refresh the walls
A neutral light colour makes rooms look bigger and suits every tenant.
4. Decide on furniture
Furnished apartments are easier to rent for shorter periods, unfurnished ones suit longer leases.
5. Take good photos
Shoot in daylight, with a wide angle and in tidy rooms.
6. Set a fair price
Compare similar listings in the same area. An inflated price means a longer empty period.
7. Prepare the documents
Lease agreement, handover certificate and meter readings.
