Things to Consider When Renting Your Home

The home rental process is a process that is critical to both landlord and tenant and needs to be followed carefully. Due to today's current economic conditions there are constant fluctuations in house prices, so renting a dwelling rather than buying it seems to many to be a more risk-free and safe option.

When you contact a potential tenant interested in your home and decide to reach an agreement, there are important points to look out for. Giving the necessary importance to some critical aspects during the contract will help you avoid many problems that may arise later.

Of the items that you need to pay attention to when renting the house, the main ones are:

Care Your Home

Once you have decided that you want to rent the house, the first step to take should be to go through a thorough maintenance process of your home. The first feature of a home advertisement placed on any real estate site that attracts attention by users is its image. That's why having clean, hassle-free and well-lit home photos allows your home posting to be more in consideration.

Two types of care that come to mind at the moment when it is called home maintenance are cleaning and repair. When you want to rent the house, it will benefit you to go through a thorough cleaning process before opening it to the visit of people who will visit the house with the thought of renting. Clean areas such as parquet, walls, door handles and bathroom items that are not covered with various dust, stains and traces prevents the decline of interest in the house and prevents the formation of a negative image.

At the same time, paying attention to the repair of the house and carrying out the necessary operations in this area is another critical point in the process of renting the house. A house with parquet dismantling, sink and expense problems, broken door handles, paint-stripped walls, heating problems and other problems that will cause big problems to the people who rent the house is not attractive in terms of rental idea.

Thinking about any situation that may cause problems in the house, you should carry out the necessary maintenance and repair operations, deliver the house clean and smoothly to the tenant, and make sure that you will receive it in the same way.

Know Your Tenants

Problems with tenants may arise in the process of leaving the house and sometimes within the time frame during which the contract continues. When you want to rent the house, you need to know well who you have agreed with and how you will have to contact someone throughout the contract.

Getting to know the tenant is not meant to be involved in your tenant's life, but only knowing about the people with whom you deal with. It is one of your most natural rights to want to know personal information about a person you contract with. The age of your tenant, the profession he or she does, whether he is married or single (to learn whether to stay in the house as a family or individually) are among the questions you can ask in the process of renting the house.

In order to be sure that the rent will be paid on a specific date or date range of each month, the most critical question asked is your tenant's profession. Some landlords prioritize tenants who work as officers to prevent any problems with the payment of rent.

If your tenant is already a student, a plea on his behalf must also be included in the contract. In this case, you can ask questions aimed at finding out the profession of the guarantor, his age, the status of kinship with your tenant.

Perform Zone Analysis

It is very important to determine a rental price that is suitable for the house you are renting. When deciding on the cost for renting the house, you should study and compare rental prices in the region where the housing is located will help you determine the right price. A house that does not coincide with the price of other housing can remain idle for a very long time.

At what prices 1+1, 2+1 and 3+1 houses are rented in the region where the housing is located, sales prices and different/similar aspects, how the rental price changes according to the proximity to central locations and arrive at the price decision in accordance with this information will help you to reach the most accurate result for renting the house.

Many different criteria come into play when conducting region analysis. What level of proximity to central locations is one of the important aspects.

• Çeşitli ulaşım araçlarına yakınlık (metro, otobüs durağı, metrobüs, tramvay vb) 
• Hastane ve okula göre konum
• Alışveriş merkezine yakınlık
• Şehir merkeziyle arada bulunan mesafe
• Çevrede bulunan yapıların çeşit ve türleri gibi durumların hepsi bölge analizinde önemli ölçütler haline gelmektedir.

Perform Billing Turnout

When concluding a lease, it is critical to agree on the tenant's acceptance of the bill for various uses of the house, such as water, electricity, internet and natural gas, and to prevent problems that may arise in the future.

If the subscription continues to remain above the landlord, the landlord will be the landlord, not the tenant, who will be held responsible for this situation when there is a time frame in which the bills are not paid. In order not to deal with various problems and legal processes, the most guaranteed solution that you can apply is to pass the transfer of bills to the tenant from the moment he begins to stay at home.

The person to whom you want to rent the house is obliged to take all of these subscriptions within the framework of legal laws. If you are facing a tenant who refuses to take the subscription on it, you should remember that you are in a rightful position within the framework of the articles of law.

Pay Attention to the Rent Agreement

Another item that you need to pay attention to in the process of renting the house is to arrange the lease in a detailed, planned manner and go over each item in the contract. In the contract;

• Her ay kiranın nasıl ve nereye ödeneceği 
• Kira ödeme tarihi ya da tarih aralığı 
• Kiranın geç ödenmesi durumunda ne gibi durumların söz konusu olacağı 
• Sözleşme bitiminde kiracı kalmaya devam etmek isterse gelecek sene için uygulanacak olan kira artış oranı
• Ev içinde teslim edilen tüm demirbaşların listesi
• Kefil varsa bilgileri, yoksa kiracının yakınlarının iletişim bilgisi
• Kira sözleşmesinin fesih şartları gibi önemli hususlar mutlaka bulunmalıdır.

Deposit Fee and Deposit Delivery Conditions

The process of granting/retrieving the deposit fee is one of the most common situations among the problems that may occur between the landlord and the tenant in the process of renting the house. In order to avoid problems that may arise from this situation, you must necessarily include in the lease agreement how much the deposit fee is and you must specify in clause under what conditions there will be deductions in the delivery of the deposit.

Deductions may be made on the refund of the deposit fee to cover any damage caused to your home.

• Hangi durumlar altında bu kesintilerin olacağını belirtmek 
• Evin kiracıya teslim etmiş olduğunuz haline dair yazılı ve görsel anlatımlara yer vermek 
• Sözleşme hükümleri içine depozito maddesini de ekletmek gibi önlemler ile bu konuda oluşabilecek sorunları önceden engelleyebilirsiniz.

Get Professional Consulting
