Miami and Fort Lauderdale Home Leasing and Rentals

Marketing your home depends on your situation but you have a few different options for marketing your home for lease. If you are just testing out the waters or your situation isn’t time critical you should start by trying craigslist or rentals.com. Both are inexpensive but effective. However, both of these options also require you to do your own showings. If you no longer live in the area, you have decided to take a hands off approach or there is another situation that makes leasing your home more time critical you should hire a property management company like Residential Leasing & Management of Miami and Fort Lauderdale to submit your lease into our multiple listing service (MLS) and let us handle all the marketing and showings.

Even if you hire a realtor, you should still consider listing your home on craigslists, rentals.com and other rental home websites. If at all possible, you should include in your contract an agreement that if you’re able to locate a tenant on your own that no commission will be paid.

Once a tenant has been found, draw up a contract that clearly outlines all the terms. Depending on your state, you should have no trouble finding sample contracts and solid tips on the internet.

Make sure that you have a plan for late payments, the costs of repairs and maintenance as well as other potential issues. A property management company like Residential Leasing & Management can handle a lot of these problems, but you must be aware that they can become expensive as well. Depending on the your home’s condition and the level of involvement you'd like in this process, you may be okay if you handle everything on your own if you have a few contacts such as a handyman and a plumber.
