To increase your chances of being accepted by one of our owners, here's what we recommend:
- Choose a lease start date close to the availability date: Landlords often prefer to minimize the period their property remains vacant. Even if you plan to move in later, setting a lease start date close to the availability date can make your application more appealing.
- Submit an additional guarantor: After making your reservation, consider sending an additional guarantor. Services like Smartgarant, Garantme, and Visale can provide an extra layer of security for the landlord.
- Ensure the readability of your ID and school certificate: Make sure all required documents, including your identification and school enrollment certificate, are clear and easily legible. This simplifies the process of verifying your reliability as a tenant.
Example: When applying for an apartment, Léa chose a lease start date just two days after the announced availability date, even though she planned to move in a week later. She also included a Visale guarantee to strengthen her application. Her complete file and flexibility regarding the start date convinced the landlord of her seriousness, thus increasing her chances of acceptance.
By following these tips and presenting yourself as a responsible tenant, you can significantly improve your chances of securing your preferred rental property.
