Despite evidence that landlords prefer good, stable tenants over higher rental incomes, it seems good tenants do not feel valued at all.
Australian landlords prefer good tenants to higher rents, according to a presentation to investors by Rent.com.au, but renters, it would seem, don’t think it makes a difference.
Referring to renters as “an important group without an advocate”, Rent.com.au’s presentation cited survey data that showed 57 per cent of renters believe renting is still not well accepted and a staggering 95 per cent believe good tenancy is not rewarded.
One renter said, “Why can’t people who rent be shown the same dignity as people who are viewing a home that’s for sale? I guess that’s society though, but it isn’t right.”
Worth noting for property managers is the fact that 67 per cent of renters cited a lack of information on properties, suburbs and landlords as one of the “top pain points”
This is where new technology and online property management helps out as tenants can have their own portal where they can login and see everything to do with their property, lease and rental ledgers etc.
The best online property management software on the market is RealRenta and is the 1st that gives the tenants the ability to pay their rent by Bpay and auto Direct Debit.
