I am planning to rent out my IP and my IP is a strata-ed 1970s block building in an inner city suburb.
Some background in our area:
- I am based in Ground level
- Our building has 2 government housing unit currently rented to an emigrant
family and a single man in his late 40s. Both units have not had any troubles. Other renters within the building are ok...
- First and Second floor (same building as me) are renting approx $340
- One Ground floor unit (same building as me) is renting $280
- Currently the rent in my area ranges from $280 to $ 400 for the same style building.
I am wanting to attract young professionals / decent family in my IP who will diligently pay on time and look after the place well. I dont wished to rent to trouble makers (i think most of us dont anyway). Do you think its wise to place my rent on par with other units in my same building?
Any other ways I can deter trouble makers from renting my place (apart from history checks)????
TIA
