Once you have thoroughly screened probable tenants and found the most suitable ones for your property, it is time for them to move in. Shifting to a new property is always a stressful time for the tenants who need to tackle multiple things at one time. These can include stress related to the quantity of belongings that need to be moved or apprehensions regarding the new neighbors etc.

As a landlord, you can make a small amount of effort to welcome your tenants in the rental home in the best possible manner. Some of the tips related to this are listed below:

• Pay Attention To Cleanliness:To make the tenants’ shifting process worry-free, it is imperative that you thoroughly clean your property. Don’t just focus on areas that are visible, instead focus on deep cleaning your rental unit. You can hire a professional cleaner to do the job or do it on your own. Also, call over an expert carpet cleaning company for getting the rugs and carpets properly cleaned.
• Have A Small Welcome Package:Keeping a small welcome package for your tenants will not be heavy on your pocket but surely make your tenants feel special. Some of the useful items that can be kept in the welcome package include: scented candles, a beautiful bouquet of seasonal flowers, toilet paper rolls and kitchen towels etc. You can even keep some free coupons of a café or dine-in nearby. The amount of coupons depends on the budget at hand.
• Inform About The Parking:It is essential to provide your tenants with all the information related to parking their vehicles. Let them know beforehand if they need to get special permission for parking their vehicle at or near your property. Also, there are certain areas where people are required to register their vehicles in order to park them. Explain to your tenants about any such laws well in advance of their arrival in your rental unit.
• Provide Information About Utilities:You can provide your tenants with contact information of local utility providers for their convenience. This task needs to be done at least one week prior to the date when your tenants move in. This will ensure that all the utilities are turned on when the tenants shift into your property. Not only this, the tenants can also set up their payment information with the utility company on shifting.
• Give The Necessary Contact Information:For the ease of your tenants, all the contact information that could be required by them should be provided beforehand. For instance, they should clearly know whom to contact in case of maintenance issues etc. You can provide the requisite information via email, text or even give a printed copy. Frame a welcome letter and list all the details mentioned above to make things simpler for your tenants.
