Small Gestures to Show Tenant That You Care & Increase Lease Renewals
Lease rentals are typically a time of year that most landlords or San Diego property management companies are “sweating it out” because they aren’t sure if their tenants will renew their leases or not.
Thankfully, every landlord can stop their tenants from searching for a home for rent elsewhere by following these simple tips.
Tip #1 – Communicate with Your Tenants Regularly
Instead of waiting up to six months or one year to communicate with tenants, one effective thing that you can start doing right now is communicate with your tenants regularly via phone or email.
Regular communication will make your tenants more open to contacting you when they need assistance at the rental property and help them to see you as a real person instead of a faceless company that only collects their rent.
Tip #2 – Keep Your Promises
Whenever your tenant contacts needing your assistance at the rental property, you should always strive to keep your promises and never make promises that you cannot keep. Promises kept will make your tenant more open to renewing their lease, because they will want to continue renting from a landlord who has been attentive to their needs.
Tip #3 – Offer More to Your Tenants
Another great way to increase lease renewals is to offer more benefits to your tenants during the year, like looking for ways to utilize unused space at your rental property by adding a laundry room if your rental doesn’t have one, a dog run, extra parking or other amenities like free WIFI that will make them want to renew their leases.
