With a market competitive as it is in 2020, it can be difficult to stand out from other applicants and secure your dream rental property. Between people willing to offer well above the asking price, and others submitting their application before you can say “mine!” searching for a rental can sometimes be disheartening. However, there are some small steps you can take to improve your chances of having your application accepted and securing an executive rental that you love. Below, we’re sharing our top tips on how to secure an executive rental.

What’s an Executive Rental?

Different to your regular rental property, an executive rental is a premium home or apartment that comes completely furnished. These properties are often located in sought after suburbs and have easy access to some of the best shops, restaurants, bars and parks in the city. Executive rentals are a great option for people who may not be able to afford to buy a home in their dream suburb, or don’t want to commit to purchasing a property but are seeking a premium rental experience. 

Payment History

When applying for an executive home rental, Property Managers will check your rental payment history to determine whether or not you’re going to be a reliable tenant. Therefore, if you have a history of paying your rent, water or electricity bills late; this will reflect very poorly on your application. Never fear though, if you notice your payment history is less than impressive, it’s not too late to start trying to improve it. The best way to do this is to set up automated payments for your rent and utilities from a bank account that you know will always have enough available funds. This way, you’ll never miss a payment again.

Property Maintenance

Something that goes hand in hand with paying your rent on time is ensuring you maintain the property you’re living in very well. No, this doesn’t just mean cleaning the property right before an inspection; this means keeping the home or apartment free of any faults, mess or dirt at all times. Believe it or not, a Property Manager can tell the difference between a property that is consistently maintained and a place that has been spot cleaned hastily. If you look after the property and report any damage as soon as it happens, your Property Manager will remember this and pass on good feedback.
