Renting a property: from listing to signature
A lease is a relationship that starts before signature. The quality of preparation defines how smooth it will be.
01
The listing and first contact
The listing must describe the property accurately. Good photographs and honest square metres reduce wasted viewings.
The first contact shows whether the applicant has a realistic picture. Clarity saves time on both sides.
02
Screening and contract
We review documents, income and previous leases. The contract defines duration, deposit, adjustment and obligations.
Handover is recorded with photographs and an inventory. This protects both owner and tenant.
“A good lease starts with clarity, not haste.”
