Hi everyone,
Could I please have your views on the following situation?
I have paid a deposit for a 2-bedroom apartment, it is due to settle in about 4 weeks. The old tenants have vacated the property already and it is currently vacant.
I would like to have tenants in the property as soon as possible. Ideally, it would be great if I could have a lease commence the day after the settlement.
However, I understand this could be risky in case the property does not settle on time. So I have been told it would be better to have the lease start say 7-14 days after the settlement date just to give myself some lee-way.
I understand normally, tenants need to give at least 4 weeks notice to the landlord before termination. So for me to get tenants into this property within 14 days after settlement, I really need to start advertising and holding open houses.
I have spoken to some PMs who suggested I write to the vendor or vendor's agent to seek permission to:
be able to advertise the property from next week
use the sales photos from the current owner
show prospective tenants through the property with an agent
What are the chances the vendor would agree to this? and what would he expect from me in return (if anything)?
Do you have any other suggestions?
Thank you so much in advance!!!
