We have all heard the horror stories about nightmare tenants. No one wants tenants who attract rats because they do not clear up their rubbish or leave rotten food or dirty clothes under the bed for months at a time. The trouble is, how can you ever really know what the people are like who want to rent your property?

When it comes to selecting good tenants for your property, you want to find respectable, honest people who are going to pay their rent on time and keep the house in good working order. There are people out there who will do all those things, you just need to find them. One of the best ways to seek out the perfect tenant is to employ a property manager to do the hard work for you. They will come and visit your property and evaluate how much rent they think you should be charging. A decent property manager will understand the market and know what will attract a good tenant, so they might also suggest you make a few home improvements in order to make your property more appealing. Property managers are also responsible for marketing your property correctly and screening any prospective tenants. The screening process is extremely important, as it allows your property manager to investigate any interested tenants, undertake the appropriate checks and obtain references from employers or former managing agents.
