5 Ways To Make Your Landlord Pick You

5 Ways To Make Your Landlord Pick You

5 Ways To Make Your Landlord Pick You

If you are in the urban area of Los Angeles and other places such as Burbank you will know that finding a house is not easy. In some cases, you may have enough money to pay for or buy a house, but the rent and cost of buying houses are so outrageous in these areas.

This usually means that if you finally find an apartment or a house that is right for you, it is important that you do everything in your power to secure it. However, if you love an apartment, there is a big chance that other potential tenants will love the same house as well. You will need to ensure your application stand out in order to increase your house of getting picked by the landlord.

In this article, you will learn of various steps to ensure a landlord pick you when you found a house that you love.

Top Ways To Get A Landlord to Pick You

  1. Have Enough Cash In Your Bank Account

Most landlords don’t want a tenant that cannot afford their rent. Thus, they are likely to request you show them income proof. Some will even ask you to present a bank statement. Make sure you have enough money in your account to convince the landlord you can pay future rents.

Moreover, you may be required to pay an application fee and security deposit. Pay these fees as soon as possible. If you end up not moving to the house, you will get a refund of these payments.

  1. Provide Reference

Providing reference makes the job of a landlord easier. Before you move into any property, the landlord will mostly like to do a background check. You can make this process easier for him by providing a reference from previous landlords and employers.

If these references are verifiable, your chances of getting picked by the landlord will increase significantly.

  1. Know Your Credit History

Having a good credit history says a lot about you. In fact, it is likely that a potential landlord will check your credit history before allowing you to move in. A good credit score will greatly improve your chances of getting picked by the landlord. However, if your credit history is not so good, make sure you provide a good explanation to the landlord. Be upfront with him and let him know that it won’t affect your ability to meet up with the rent.

  1. Be On Time

A Landlord will schedule a meeting for showing. In some cases, he may appoint a property management company to do this job on his behalf. Whatever be the case, make sure you come for the appointment on time. This common courtesy can go a long way to make your landlord believe that you are someone that can be trusted and you won’t have a problem paying your rent on time.

  1. Dress Up Nicely

While meeting with your potential landlord may not be considered the same as meeting with the queen of England, it is still important that you dress up nicely. Your dressing can say a lot about you. When there are too many applicants, the way you dress can be the yardstick the landlord or the property manager use in deciding who gets the nod. Dress up in something nice. If you decide to wear something casual, make sure it is not too casual. First impression really matters and it is a good idea to create one.
