Prepare the rent and advance you want to discuss

List monthly rent, advance or security deposit and any amount that needs its own explanation. If you have not decided on an amount, mark it for discussion rather than copying a figure from another home.

Ask yourself what the proposed rent includes. Furnishing, maintenance and another specific arrangement may need a separate answer. Tell our team which amounts are your starting expectation and which parts you are still deciding.

Describe the home’s current occupancy, furnishing and the date you are ready to discuss access. Mention any work you are still considering before visits. These details help explain your proposal without claiming a general market result.

Decide how you would like to receive a different tenant proposal. Keep a private limit separate from the amount you want discussed initially. Do not let a preliminary enquiry be described as acceptance of an arrangement you have not considered.

Check the whole response: amount, included items, moving date and questions still open. A tenant may be asking for clarification rather than proposing a different rent. Ask our team to explain the point before you decide how to respond.

If you change the expectation, update the people coordinating visits and calls. Keep the latest proposal in one place so an old amount does not continue in a separate conversation. No amount stated on an enquiry confirms that the rental has been agreed.
