Congrats! You have successfully gotten a tenant for your property, and this is something you should celebrate because it is not easy going through all the process of getting a tenant for your property as it can be stressful.

- Clean the property thoroughly
You can help reduce the worry of your tenants when they move in newly to their new apartment by thoroughly cleaning the property. Having a plan ahead of time is vital to make the property clean.
- Compile a welcome package
One way to make new tenants feel at ease is by presenting a welcome package. This won’t cost you much, however, it will leave a long lasting impression on the mind of your new tenants. A welcome package can include several items like paper towel, toilet paper, scented candles, etc.
- Let them know where to park
One thing tenants would find annoying is if their parking lot is shared by others, or worse still, they don’t have a parking lot. Let them know on time if they will be parking on the streets or if they share parking lot.
- Give them other vital contacts
It is necessary that your tenants know who to contact for certain issues, so before they move in provide for them contact information that they need. Through a tenant welcome letter, they should know who to contact when it comes to parking, utilities, insurance and more.
- Provide the keys
Ensure that your tenants have all the keys they need when they finally move into your property. Provide keys to stores, garage, utility spots or other location they are entitled to access.
- Give them advice about the neighborhood
Another way to welcome your new tenant is by giving them friendly advice about the neighborhood, giving them few tips and advice to help them have their way around the area and where to get pizza and other things easily.
