Keeping The Process
Simple
RENTALSWORLDWIDE.COM
Renting your property should be a potentially profitable business
and as with all businesses, there are a number of factors to
consider.
Making sure that your property is presented in the best possible
way and described fairly and accurately, so that you attract the
right tenant, obtain a fair market rental rate, are important factors
to consider.
You also need to make sure that you conform to all local and
national regulatory requirements and comply with the law. If you
are unsure, you should advice.
At RentalsWorldwide, we believe that presenting your property in
the best possible way is critical for attracting enquiries and finding
a tenant. Keeping your costs down is critical to your pocket –
which is why, for long-term rentals, we not only empower you but
save you money on agent commission fees.
You can even list your rental property “For Sale” at the same time
as advertising it for rent.

this their agent by negotiating a lower commission fee.

6. Home
Prepare and Showcase Your
Home
RENTALSWORLDWIDE.COM
Your property may well be furnished and ready to rent, however it
is worth keeping in mind that some very simple points can make a
difference in securing a tenant.
Basic household items such as kitchen equipment, fridge/freezer,
washing machine, hot water, air-conditioning, heating and TV’s
should all be in good order.
Tenants will look for signs that the property has been well
maintained and is clean. Make sure that the driveway and
entrance areas are tidy. Keep the heating or air-conditioning on to
make the space comfortable. Make minor repairs and remove any
garbage.
Offer as much information on your property and the local area as
you can – schools, shops, transport, parks and restaurants. You
should try and make the tenants feel at home.
Do not overlook compliance and safety requirements. The
property must meet any regulations, safety compliance and any
licensing requirements before you advertise to rent. Please seek
advice if you are unsure.
Showcase your property in the best way possible

7. Advert
Putting Together a Winning
Advert
RENTALSWORLDWIDE.COM
At RentalsWordwide.com we believe in bringing a highly
professional approach to advertising your long-term rental
property.
With large format images, unique property headline and full
description together with a well structured and complete check-
list of features, we ensure that nothing is overlooked in bringing
your property to life.
By understanding that potential tenants look for different
information within your advert, it is important make your
description and photographs as strong as possible.
A winning advert draws attention and attracts enquiries and that
means a potentially improved rental return.
Show great pictures and as much information as possible

8. RENTALSWORLDWIDE.COM
It is important to take time for photographs. They can present
your property better than any words. This is important as most
people are visual by nature. Interesting photographs are likely to
engage with the tenant’s attention. Here are a few tips to help
take the best photographs:
- Prepare you property and choose a clear bright day, preferably
with morning sun. Turn off any TV or computer displays,
prepare the rooms and remove any unsightly objects. Do
remember to take photographs of any special features. Try to
avoid people in general photographs.
- Use natural light and shoot away from the windows to avoid
exposure issues. If you require additional light, use the interior
lighting but try both with and without the lights on and select
the best results.
- Never display dark or cluttered images. Correct any
photographs using simple editing software on your computer
and choose the best results.
- Make sure you have good exterior shots of the property and
any views.
- Showcase your rental property with up to 25 photographs
Simple editing can make a photo stunning

9. Rental Rate
Advertising With The Right
Rental Rate
RENTALSWORLDWIDE.COM
Much in the same way as a great description and photographs
attracts positive attention, the same detail should be paid to your
published rental rates.
It is important that the property is not priced too high or too low
and as such, it is worth spending a little time to research
comparative rates for similar properties in the area.
Many rentals properties are also for sale with tenants. We are the
first rental portal that supports members to advertise their
property for sale on their rental listing. Take direct enquiries, make
a deal and pay no commission to us when you sell.
The key to negotiating the final rentals rates is to be friendly and
flexible within your limitations. Simply rejecting a good offer
without discussion may cost you more in lost income over the
coming weeks or months should the property remain unoccupied.
Target local and expatriate tenants in cities around the world

10. Enquiries
Responding to Your
Enquiries
RENTALSWORLDWIDE.COM
When a potential tenant makes an enquiry, they will contact you
directly through the enquiry system to your account. You will also
be alerted by email. The tenants and your email will not be
disclosed until such a time as you both agree to share your
contact information directly.
Our advice is to always respond to tenants on the same day as
you receive the enquiry to improve the chances of a successful
appointment. Always include as much information as the tenant
may have requested.
Responding to enquiries presents an ideal opportunity to get to
know each other and establish an early relationship.
Your tenant will likely want to view the property, so provide clear
meeting point instructions when arranging a viewing.
Receive and manage your enquiries through your control panel

11. Tenants
Meeting Your Potential
Tenants
RENTALSWORLDWIDE.COM
Meeting with your potential tenants should be a positive and
friendly experience. Be prepared for the meeting with a Letter of
Intent or similar document and a draft Tenancy Agreement. You
may want to prepare your own, but a sample in English is
provided on your control panel for your convenience.
Show the benefits of the property and listen for feedback. Be
clear and flexible, within your limits, to any requests as this will
influence the tenant decision making process. Clarify the rental
rate and the responsibility of each party towards the security
deposit, notice periods and bills.
Having now shown or given the details of your property and
explained the features and benefits, you can simply ask for a
decision and agree.
Renting your own place can be a rewarding experience

12. Payments
The Tenancy Agreement
Deposit & Payments
RENTALSWORLDWIDE.COM
As soon as you have signed a Letter of Intent and prior to signing
the Tenancy Agreement, you should take an agreed non-
refundable deposit to remove the property from the market. You
will also need a copy of the tenant’s ID and any references.
Upon signing the Tenancy Agreement, you should secure the
advance rent and a security deposit. Often the non-refundable
deposit will be converted to become the security deposit. You
should provide a receipt and provide your bank details to the
tenant for the ongoing rent payments.
Registering a Tenancy Agreement may be required in some
territories and quite often this is a simple on-line process. In other
territories, the deposits may be held by a regulated or approved
entity and again these are generally easy online procedures that
take just a few minutes to complete.
If you are unclear, check online or with your local authorities to
ensure that you are following the correct process for your territory.
