If you are a landlord with one or more active listings on BoligPortal, you can use the 'Find New Tenant' feature to actively search for a tenant for your rental property.
Go to the 'Find New Tenant' section in your profile menu. Here, you will see a list of users who are actively searching for a property that matches yours. If you find one or more potential tenants you are interested in, simply click 'Contact' to send them a message.
The list is based on the tenants' active SearchAgents – meaning the searches they have saved themselves.
How to use the Find New Tenant function
- Click on 'Find New Tenant' in the menu on your profile
Note that you can only use 'Find New Tenant' if you have one or more active listings on BoligPortal.
- Select the rental property for which you want to see potential tenants under 'Rentables'
- Explore the profiles – and filter your view if there are many
The profiles on the list are selected solely because they are searching for a home like yours – but that does not necessarily mean they meet your requirements.
Click on 'Filter' to narrow down the selection and focus your search for a new tenant.
Next, check off your requirements, and the list of tenants searching for homes like yours will automatically be narrowed down and refined. Click the orange button to save your filters.
You can learn more about each prospective tenant by clicking on 'See Profile'.Are too few profiles appearing?
The more filters you apply, the narrower your search will be. If you have set very strict criteria, you may want to loosen them slightly if you feel that not enough profiles are showing up.Some filters can be interpreted in different ways — for example, whether "pets allowed" refers to a large dog or a small fish — so it's often a good idea to ask the tenant for clarification in a conversation.
- Click on 'Contact' to send a message to the profiles you find interesting
This will open a text box where you can write your message to the person. It's a good idea to explain why you are contacting them specifically and what it is about your property that suits them.
The message will automatically include a link to your ad.
Note: You may find that the housing search area or criteria of the prospective tenant doesn't fully match your rental property. This can happen if the person has chosen a very broad search area or hasn't completed all sections of their profile.
