Here’s a simple, proven framework. 1) Price & Position Use very recent signed leases for comps (not just listings). Stage & photograph well; highlight parking, view, amenities, schools. Decide early: furnished vs unfurnished and pet policy. 2) Marketing & Screening List across major portals and your agent network. Pre-qualify: employment, income, move-in date, special conditions. Record viewing feedback; adjust within 10–14 days if quiet. 3) Documentation Clear tenancy contract with addenda for inclusions/exclusions. Security deposit receipt, inventory list, key handover form. Compliance: building move-in rules, DEWA/ADDWEC/utility guidance. 4) Management & Renewals Set response SLAs for maintenance and emergencies. Renew early (60–90 days). Offer options: same rent vs small increase aligned to market. Document every visit and keep digital files. Pro tip: Vacancy is the biggest cost. A modest rent adjustment can outperform weeks of downtime. Track days-vacant and act fast. When to Hire a Property Manager You live abroad or travel frequently. You own multiple units and want consolidated reporting. You prefer a single point of contact for tenants, maintenance, and renewals. Good PMs publish SLAs, share monthly statements, and keep your unit “rent-ready” year-round.
