Letting a property: What you need to know as an owner

Letting a property can be a lucrative source of income, but it also comes with responsibilities. As the owner, you not only have to take care of marketing and selecting suitable tenants, but also consider legal aspects and know your obligations as a landlord. In this article, we give you tips on successful letting and show you why it makes sense to appoint us as your estate agent.

1. draw up the right rental agreement

A solid rental agreement is the basis of every successful rental. All important points should be regulated in the contract: Rent, ancillary costs, rental period and the rights and obligations of the tenant and landlord. It is particularly important that the contract complies with legal requirements in order to avoid conflicts later on.

As experienced estate agents, we can help you draw up a legally compliant tenancy agreement that is tailored to your individual needs. This will ensure that all important points are clearly and transparently regulated.

2 The right choice of tenant: What is important?

A key factor for a successful letting is choosing the right tenant. You should not only pay attention to financial aspects, but also to the personal reliability of the tenant. A credit check and references can help you to find a serious and solvent tenant.

We take care of the entire selection process for you and ensure that you find a trustworthy tenant who will treat your property with care and pay reliably.

3. determine the rent and ancillary costs

The rent should be based on the local conditions and the furnishings of the property. At the same time, you must ensure that the ancillary costs are calculated correctly and that you as the landlord are not stuck with the operating costs.

We help you analyze the market and support you in setting an appropriate rent. Thanks to our expertise, you will know exactly how you can rent out your property profitably without scaring off potential tenants.

4. rights and obligations as a landlord

As a landlord, you have rights, but also obligations. For example, you must ensure that the property is maintained and that it remains in a condition that complies with the contract. In return, you have the right to punctual rent payments and can take appropriate measures in the event of breaches of contract.

We provide you with comprehensive advice on your rights and obligations as a landlord and help you to avoid misunderstandings or conflicts with tenants.
