Whether you’re using our Let Only Service or Full Property Management Service, taking the right steps when renting a property can save you time, money, and stress.
Here are 3 essential tips for landlords to follow when letting a property:
1️⃣ Always Have a Written Lease
A written lease is crucial for protecting both landlords and tenants. It clearly outlines the rental terms, responsibilities, and duration of the tenancy. At REA Hynes, we ensure all our landlords receive professionally drafted leases, compliant with Irish rental regulations, giving you peace of mind and legal security.
2️⃣ Conduct a Detailed Inventory with Photos
Before tenants move in, create a comprehensive inventory of the property, including photographs of each room and any existing damage. This is an essential step in safeguarding your property and helps avoid disputes when the tenancy ends. Our Let Only Service includes guidance on inventories, ensuring landlords in Athlone, Moate, Ballymahon, Roscommon, and Offaly are fully covered.
3️⃣ Address Maintenance Issues Immediately
Promptly dealing with maintenance issues keeps tenants happy and protects the long-term value of your property. Whether it’s a leaking tap, faulty boiler, or general wear and tear, timely maintenance can prevent minor problems from turning into costly repairs. With REA Hynes Property Management, we provide landlords with fast, reliable solutions for all maintenance matters across Co. Westmeath, Roscommon, and Offaly.
