Help! Can’t find qualified tenant for rental unit!

[Stephen Solano]

Hi all,

My previous tenants moved out August 1, 2020 and after they left I ripped up the carpeting and installed brand new LVP flooring in the bedrooms and living room, I also put new stainless steel appliances in the kitchen and the apartment is spotless. It’s located in a good neighborhood in my area. It’s a 2 Bedroom/ 1 Bathroom second floor apartment at about 728 square feet. It is on the nicer side of the apartments listed for rent in my area but has a functional but funky layout. It is priced at $875 a month which is right in line with most apartments listed in my area as well. I’ve had over 100 inquiries but only about 4/5 qualified tenants come check out the apartment but all of them ended up renting elsewhere. How can I fill my unit with a qualified tenant? Am I doing something wrong? Any tips or advice on finding a qualified tenant? Any input would be greatly appreciated. It’s been empty since mid August

Talk to those after the viewing and see what they liked and didn't like about the unit.  Lower the rent.
