How to maximise your rental application. Become a landlord’s dream tenant!

Finding a rental home can be challenging, especially in highly desirable areas where competition is fierce. Creating a well thought out profile and communicating effectively can significantly improve your chances of securing your dream home. Here are some key tips to help you stand out as a tenant and find your next home faster!

Create a complete and informative profile

First impressions matter! On Samtrygg, you can create a tenant profile where landlords can learn more about you even before a viewing is scheduled.
Make sure to include:

• A clear and friendly profile photo.
• Basic details such as your profession, family situation, interests and housing needs.
• A short personal introduction that highlights who you are and what you’re looking for.
• References from previous landlords if available.

The more information you provide, the more likely you are to make a trustworthy and serious impression on potential landlords.

Craft thoughtful messages

When contacting a landlord, it’s important to write a well-structured message.
Here are some things to consider:

• Start with a polite greeting and a short introduction.
• Explain why this particular rental suits you and why you would enjoy living there.
• Show that you are responsible by mentioning your job or studies.
• Keep it clear and concise while still being informative.

Demonstrate financial stability

Landlords prefer stable and reliable tenants. By showcasing your financial security, you can increase your chances of being chosen. Some landlords appreciate tenants who can provide proof of employment, studies or a reference from a previous landlord.

Act quickly and be flexible

The rental market moves fast and homes can be rented out quicker than expected. Acting promptly by booking a viewing and contacting the landlord as soon as you find a listing that interests you is a great advantage. Landlords also tend to appreciate tenants who are flexible with move-in dates.

Build trust through clear communication

Landlords want to feel confident that their tenant will take good care of the accommodation. To build trust, it’s essential to be available for quick communication, be transparent and maintain a clear and professional dialogue throughout the process.
