Attracting good tenants comes down to listing quality plus the right platform · the two reinforce each other.
Listing quality
- Realistic rent at or just below the local benchmark · over-priced listings scare off qualified applicants and can be challenged as too high
- 8 to 12 photos: kitchen, bathroom, every bedroom, living room, view, exterior · the cover photo is decisive
- Clear hard requirements: income threshold, household size, pets, smoking, parking · vague listings produce vague applicants
- Multilingual description: aptari auto-translates DE, FR, IT and EN, widening the pool
- Honest about flaws: noting the kitchen's age or some street noise saves everyone time and cuts complaints after move-in
