If you are looking to rent an apartment that you have but have never done so
before, we can help you with the ins and outs of listing your apartment. The
first thing you want to do is list as often as you can but not spend a million
dollars in advertising. You also want to get a wide variety of people because
you want a choice of people to rent to and not take the first people that come
along.
Where should I place my ad?
You can save a lot of money in advertising by listing you apartment on Craig's
List, it is a free classified sites that has a section for apartment rentals.
You could place an ad in your local penny saver or advertisement. Sometimes
if you agree to a certain amount of weeks they will give you a discount. You
can also place your ads in local newspaper. This can be expensive because the
larger papers charge a certain amount of money for a certain amount of words.
What should my ad say?
You want to place an ad then you have to list what the apartment has to offer.
You also should abbreviate it will save space. List what rooms you have available,
how much the rent is and if you want first and last month's security or
just one month then put that in as well. Put a phone number that is best to
reach you on.
In addition to what rooms you have to offer you should try to list when the
apartment is available. Most people don't like to call and ask basic questions
so if you can list what you can most people will know whether or not the apartment
is for them . You want to weed out the people who really have no interest in
the apartment, you don't want to waste their time or yours.
