Landlords learn the importance when showing an apartment through it’s design, appearance and amenities  are extremely important factors needed to attract a good tenant or tenants.

• HOW TO GET RENTED with GOOD TENANTS

Done properly with the right design, furniture and accents throughout it could then get the WOW factor from prospective tenants.

• Screening Process is Important!  Consider a three step screening process,
  1. First Contact
  2. Rental Application
  3. Credit & Background Check
