Top Tips to Getting the Tenant Induction Right

Tip # 1

Inducting your tenant is the most important appointment of the tenancy.Outlining clear expectations to your tenant in a face to face meeting before they get their keys will reduce the chance of complicated problems arising later. Be proactive in explaining everything upfront, to save wasting precious time later on reactively fixing problems that could have been avoided with a comprehensive induction appointment.

Tip One- Top Tips to Getting the Tenant Induction Right

Put it in Writing-when your tenant has been approved, before your induction interview, confirm their acceptance in writing. Outline in an email or letter to them: who has been approved, the address, the rent amount, start date, lease length, bond payment, how much they need to pay up front to take possession, if pets are approved (or not), any expenses like water and also any special conditions. This reduces substantially any chance of confusion that can cause unnecessary complications at the induction appointment or even later on.
