Summary
Mediates rental contracts between rental property owners and prospective tenants, handling adjustments and procedures until the contract is established.
Description
Rental house brokers connect rental property owners (landlords) with prospective tenants by providing property tours, negotiating terms, handling rental contract procedures, and post-move-in follow-up. They stay informed about local property information, offer proposals tailored to customer needs, and manage diverse tasks such as preparing contract documents, verifying legal compliance, and attending move-ins. Even after contracts are signed, they communicate with owners and tenants regarding rent delinquencies, renewals, and other matters to prevent issues proactively.
Future Outlook
Demand remains stable in some regions due to declining birthrates, aging populations, and vacant house issues, with expected improvements in operational efficiency from advancements in online viewings and digital transformation (DX).
