Frequently Asked Questions
How much rent will I receive? +
Pricing a rental property is all about finding the sweet spot. We assess comparable properties in your area, considering location, size, amenities, and market trends. Set the rent too high and you may struggle to find tenants, but price it competitively and you'll be more likely to attract reliable tenants quickly.
How will Marco's Property Rental's market my property effectively? +
First impressions count! High-quality photographs, an engaging property description, and highlighting local amenities can make all the difference. The better your property is presented, the more interest it is likely to generate.
Should I allow pets? +
Pets can make great tenants too! Allowing pets may increase interest in your property and widen your pool of applicants. However, it's important to consider potential wear and tear and to have a clear pet policy in place.
What insurance do I need as a landlord? +
Landlord insurance is designed specifically for rental properties and can cover the building, liability risks, and loss of rental income in certain situations. Standard homeowner insurance often isn't enough when tenants are involved.
How does Marco's Property Rental's find excellent tenants? +
Every prospective tenant undergoes checks on their employment status, income, and credit history. We also request a previous landlord reference to help verify their rental track record, giving you greater peace of mind before handing over the keys.
Do I need a written tenancy agreement? +
Absolutely! A tenancy agreement is the rulebook for the tenancy. Marco's Property Rental's prepares a comprehensive written agreement that clearly outlines the rights and responsibilities of both landlord and tenant, helping avoid confusion further down the road.
How much security deposit can I collect? +
We typically request a deposit equivalent to one month's rent. To keep everything secure and compliant, all deposits are protected through the Tenancy Deposit Scheme Northern Ireland.
Can tenants decorate the property? +
That depends on the tenancy agreement. Some landlords are happy with a fresh coat of paint, while others prefer to approve any changes beforehand. Setting expectations early helps avoid awkward conversations later.
Can I enter the property whenever I want? +
Not quite! While it's your property, tenants have a right to quiet enjoyment of their home. Landlords must generally provide advance notice before entering, except in genuine emergencies like a flood or fire.
How often should I inspect my property? +
Most landlords carry out inspections every 3 to 6 months. Regular inspections help identify small issues before they turn into expensive surprises. Just remember to provide proper notice and follow legal access requirements.

Who is responsible for repairs? +
Generally, landlords are responsible for maintaining the property, structural issues, and essential services. Tenants are responsible for keeping the property clean, tidy, and reporting maintenance issues as soon as they arise. Teamwork makes the dream work!
What should I do if a tenant pays rent late? +
The first step is to contact the tenant and understand what's causing the delay. The tenancy agreement will outline the appropriate procedures regarding late payments, payment plans, and notices.

What happens if a tenant damages the property? +
If damage occurs, it's important to document everything with photographs and obtain repair quotations. Depending on the circumstances, the cost may be recoverable from the tenant or their deposit in line with relevant regulations.
How do I handle complaints from neighbours? +
Listen to the complaint, investigate fairly, and discuss the matter with the tenant if necessary. Keeping a record of all communications and actions taken is always a good idea.
How can I build a positive landlord-tenant relationship? +
Communication is key. Be approachable, professional, and responsive. Respect your tenant's privacy, fulfil your obligations, and treat people fairly. A good relationship often leads to a smoother tenancy and fewer headaches for everyone.
How can I reduce tenant turnover? +
Happy tenants tend to stay longer. Responding quickly to maintenance issues, communicating openly, and keeping the property in great condition can all help encourage long-term tenancies.
What should I do if a tenant wants to break the lease early? +
Check the tenancy agreement first. In some cases, tenants may be able to leave early by mutual agreement or under specific conditions. Every situation is different, so it's important to review the contract carefully.
What should I do at the end of a tenancy? +
Carry out a final inspection, compare the property against the original inventory, and document any changes. This helps ensure a smooth and fair deposit return process for everyone involved.
