There can be many reasons why you haven't received a response from the landlords you contacted on BoligPortal. Typically, it’s because the landlord has received a large number of messages and needs time to go through them before selecting tenants for viewings.
Some landlords respond quickly, within 1–3 days, while others wait until they have an overview of all inquiries before replying. It’s not uncommon for it to take 10–14 days before you receive a response, especially if you have applied for a particularly popular rental.
How quickly you receive a response from a landlord depends on several factors – including the number of inquiries, the landlord's availability, and the quality of your application.
As a tenant, you will always be notified when the property has been rented out.
Response times are typically longer for popular properties
If a landlord receives a large number of applications for a rental, it will naturally take longer to go through them all. Some landlords reply quickly and continuously, while others wait until they have an overview before responding.
Keep in mind that landlords are people too, and many of them also have jobs, families, and other activities alongside their rental responsibilities.
A lack of response from a landlord can simply mean that they are gathering all inquiries first or prioritizing replies to those invited for viewings before responding to others once the right tenant has been found.
The best applications often get a response first
Since the best applications usually receive responses more quickly, improving your application process can significantly increase your chances of getting noticed.
Tips to make yourself a more attractive tenant
-
Avoid short and impersonal messages to landlords
Many landlords receive generic messages like "I'm interested!" or "When can I see the property?" Stand out by showing who you are. -
Read the listing carefully
Avoid asking questions that are already answered in the listing — this helps you appear as a serious applicant. -
Use your profile actively to capture the landlord’s interest
Upload a good profile picture and write a detailed and engaging profile text — landlords actually read it! -
Put effort into writing a standout application
You don’t need to write a novel, but tell the landlord who you are and what kind of tenant you will be. Maybe they’re looking for someone exactly like you!
