How to Get Your House Ready to Rent
When you are preparing to give a house for a rent there are several important steps. Insuring that the condition of the place is as good as possible brings many benefits. From receiving a better amount of money for the rent to protecting the house it is important to give an example to the tenants to keep as clean as when they first entered.
Move out all the furniture and personal belongings you do not need. Having less items spread around the house will make it look bigger. In addition, a place full of stuff will be harder for maintaining clean. A sensible solution is to either throw these items away, sell them, or store them in a storage room or in the basement.
The next step is to clean the house. This will show the tenants that you demand the place to be clean when they leave, however months later this is. You will be in your right to require the tenants to leave the place in the appropriate condition. So wipe the walls, wash the floors, clean the kitchen appliances, especially the oven, clean the carpets as well, wash the windows and clean the bathroom. If you do not want to waste time doing so, hire cleaning services and get a deposit from the tenants. When the tenants leave you can use these money to clean the place if it is not in a good condition. The people occupying the tenancy should be aware that they can receive their deposit back if they clean the place before moving out. You can get a part of the deposit if there is any damage. The only problem is to find the best possible cleaning services provider but it could be left to the tenants to solve it. Hiring a moving out cleaning services could be proposed as a term in the lease contract.
In conclusion, leave the place in the condition you want to find it later. A well kept place is a sign to the tenants that they should do the same too. A term in the contract that requires hiring a moving out cleaning company is another good solution.
