One of the top goals that every landlord has is limiting tenant turnover and most important of all, limiting vacancies.
Every landlord knows that tenant turnover and vacancies cannot be avoided as tenants move for a variety of reasons each year, this is why some landlords choose to show their properties even while they are still occupied.
If you’ve been thinking of showing your rental property while it’s occupied, this article will offer you several tips that you can use to navigate this process professionally.
Talk With your Current Tenant
From the moment that your tenant has notified you that they are going to be moving, you should tell them that you plan on showing the rental property before they move out.
Casually informing your tenants in advance will remove any hesitancy, and in some cases, your tenant will be willing to accommodate your desire to show the property, especially if they are moving before their lease expires.
Give Your Tenant the Property Notice
Since showing the property while it’s occupied is going to be an inconvenience for your tenant, it’s best to give them a 24–48-hour notice so that they can be prepared for the showing and not caught unprepared by your arrival.
Ask Your Tenant to Be Prepared for The Showing
Besides giving your tenants proper notice, you should also ask them to prepare for the showing beforehand by light cleaning and tidying up the rental so that it looks presentable.
