How To Reduce Risks When Your Tenants Move Out

Dilleen Property Group 2022

Tenants play a crucial role in property investment. In order for the property to take care of itself, the property needs to be constantly tenanted. There are always chances of your tenants moving out of the property, hence it is important to ensure you minimise any risks and losses before this happens.

Here are 3 essential tips to minimise the risks of tenants moving out:

1. Landlord Insurance

Getting landlord insurance is a very important step to property investing as this insurance policy covers property owners from financial losses relating to their rental properties. In incidences of tenants moving out unexpectedly, breaking leases, as well as causing internal damages to the property, the landlord’s insurance is responsible for covering the missing rent as well as other financial damages associated.

2. Diversify your property portfolio

A way to minimise the chances of rental vacancy is to diversify your property portfolio to different locations. This involves investing in properties in different states and ensuring that they are situated within an hour’s distance from the CBD. This is because metro areas have an abundance of tenants and a shortage of properties, hence it is easier to rent out properties in these areas. Additionally, properties in metro areas are closer to schools, shops and amenities which will further attract potential tenants.

3.  Finding the right Property Manager

Finding the right property manager and building a good connection with them is highly beneficial to your property portfolio. Having a property manager who is always on top of your property condition means that they will ensure your property will be tenanted right away after it has just become vacant. The property manager is responsible for marketing and advertising your property to attract tenants and quickly rent out the property again.
