    Filling Vacancies

    How We Fill a Vacant Rental Quickly

    As the number of Utahns choosing to rent their homes reaches historic heights, rental homes & apartments are more in demand than ever. But in a saturated market, how do you get your rental property to stand out?

    We know a vacant property is a hassle and a drain on your resources. That’s why we execute thorough, thoughtful advertising strategies to connect you with potential tenants. Part of the challenge of advertising in today’s market is knowing which of the infinite online avenues and forums to advertise through.

    Marketing Tips for Rental Properties

    Advertise on the Right Sites

    In Utah, popular rental sites can make it easy to reach a large number of prospective tenants. For example, we know it’s best to use KSL Classifieds vs Craig’s List here. But, we also have access to other platforms that cater to rental properties so your listing gets seen by as many people as possible. More eyes on a listing means more applications come our way.

    Use Professional Photos

    We can’t stress this enough! Using professional photos to showcase what your property has to offer is key to getting a vacant unit rented. Don’t rely on your phone camera, no matter how fancy it is. Virtual tours are also a bonus when listing a property. Share photos of the interior, exterior, and outdoor spaces.

    Be Detailed

    Tenants want to know what amenities are included in a rental. Everything from parking spots and lawn care services to utilities and square footage should be included. Our team of professional property managers can create a listing description that highlights the pros of renting your property and makes people want to see it in person and sign a lease.

    Keep it Clean and Well-Maintained

    Did you know we offer periodic site inspections of your property when you hand over its care to us? This also means we facilitate the necessary cleaning and maintenance repairs between tenants. Professional, detail-oriented cleaners guarantee satisfaction– we have numerous tenants who have commented on how a spotless kitchen and bathroom sealed the deal for them when touring prospective rentals.

    Competitive Pricing

    We always recommend the right pricing for your rental so it stands out against the competition while still meeting your bottom line. The right price can ensure that a vacancy isn’t left on the market for long, costing you money in the meantime. Not sure how to go about pricing your property so it appeals to a potential renter? Rhino can help; check out our free rental analysis.

    Flexible Leasing Options

    For long-term rentals, it can sometimes be beneficial to offer flexible leasing options. It might be allowing for a six-month lease with the option to renew, or offering a discount for leases that exceed 12 months. Let’s discuss the most responsible options you could offer for tenants who meet our approval criteria.

    Spring for the Upgrades

    Speaking of maintenance, we do recommend adding upgrades to your rental to stay competitive. It could be small, like upgrading lighting to LED or swapping out hardware in a dated kitchen. Or you could install energy-efficient appliances, new flooring, or new landscaping. Whatever it is, Rhino can contract the work to licensed and insured professionals so the job is done right and increases your real estate’s value and appeal. High-value upgrades for rentals:
    • Swap carpet for durable luxury vinyl flooring
    • Paint
    • Energy-Star-certified appliances and fixtures
    • Waterwise landscaping
    • New windows and exterior doors
    • New kitchen cabinets
    • New bathroom fixtures
    • Stone countertops
    • LED ambient, accent, and task lighting

    ALWAYS Screen Tenants

    Rhino Property Management has thorough tenant screening processes to ensure you get the right potential tenant applying for your rental property. We run credit and background checks, employment verification checks, and take a look at previous rental history. We know how important it is to have a reliable renter in your property, which is why we go above and beyond when screening potential tenants and only offer leases to those who meet our criteria without discrimination. Our tenant screening process:
    • Credit Reports
    • Employment and Income Verification
    • Rental History
    • Eviction Report(s)
    • Background Check

    Mindy

    My mom and I had a really great experience with Rhino. Amy was absolutely amazing, very helpful, super friendly; she answered all of my questions and never once acted like we were an inconvenience. Even though we were not approved to rent with Rhino, I still think that this company went far above the norm to try to help us get in. Lindsey was so kind to answer all of my questions after our denial and wished us the best of luck in our search for housing. I would definitely recommend these guys to anyone, they were so nice. Thank you.

    Michelle Ferguson

    I’ve been very happy with Rhino Property for the most part. Sometimes responses are a bit slow but they have a good website for requests and rent payment and seem friendly. I would recommend using Rhino as a renter.

    Thalen Washington

    Rhino went the extra mile to ensure repair of a leak. They listened to the brick masons who found that work with roof and trim was also necessary. It was pleasing to see them address the additional needs the next day as the masons were finishing the brick work. Great job!
