“For a tenant renting a property, the situation can make them feel insecure. There is a certain amount of security that owning a property allows that renting just can’t.

As such, bringing elements of security and stability into a tenancy can have an incredibly positive effect, attracting quality tenants, longer tenancies and, as a result, fewer issues and void periods. But what are we talking about when we say ‘stability’?

The way you make them feel

When your property is managed, the agency that you choose to do this with can certainly have an impact, positive or negative, when it comes to that feeling of insecurity. Tenants need to know that issues will be dealt with swiftly and professionally.

Should something go wrong, tenants should be confident that the agency managing their property will act appropriately.


It is often the ‘knowing’ that can provide the reassurance a tenant needs. They know who the agency is that is managing their property, and the person who they need to speak to should they need assistance.

When this consistency is tampered with, tenants can start to feel nervous and apprehensive, making them wonder whether the property they are renting is really right for them.

A little understanding

We believe that by understanding our tenants, as we would our buyers, we can provide them with a high standard of service. No one likes going through the referencing process, but handled the correct way it can feel less daunting.

At The Apartment Company we know how to make tenants feel. Come and see the difference we can make to your property portfolio, because successful tenancies provide you with financial stability too!”
