What are the advantages of delegating the rental management of your property?

Rental property management, also known as rental intermediation, is when you entrust the administration of your property to a management agent. Owners and landlords typically make use of this practice when they rent out their apartments in Paris. As such it comes with many benefits. 

Apart from saving time and energy, property owners/landlords also benefit from the agent's real estate expertise and legal knowledge. This then allows the property to be kept up to standard in light of legislative changes (in real estate) and to avoid financial risks. 

Before getting into its benefits, it pays to have a general overview of what rental management is all about. As mentioned earlier, rental management is when a property owner entrusts the administration of their real estate to a professional managing agent. 

Firstly, both the owner and agent enter into an official agreement, also known as the management mandate. This will serve as a legal contract authorizing a real estate professional to manage the property. And the document should precisely detail the tasks that come with rental property management, including:
  • Estimating the price of rent
  • Key delivery and recovery
  • Drafting and sending rental receipts
  • Carry out The Technical Diagnostics
  • Management of emergencies and common problems related to the apartment (i.e. disasters, equipment breakdown, work, etc.);
  • Write the real estate ad (i.e. drafting the advertisement, taking pictures of the property, publishing the ad on property listing websites. etc.)
  • Organize visits (i.e. receiving and guiding potential tenant candidates)
  • Drafting the rental agreement
  • Conducting mandatory inventory (for furnished rentals).
  • Taking charge of necessary repairs and renovations.
  • Settle calls for funds and damages (if the property is co-owned). 

How does rental management work?

Different stages are established during a rental management.

A management mandate will have to be set up with the property manager of the real estate agency. 
The management mandate is a contract authorizing a real estate professional to manage the real estate assets. This contract mentions all the tasks and describes precisely the real estate assets: 
  • Estimate the amount of rent

  • Key delivery and recovery

  • Drafting and sending rent receipts

  • Management of emergencies and common problems related to the apartment (disasters, equipment breakdown, work, etc.);

  • Write the real estate ad
The agent moves around the dwelling to take the characteristics and to take pictures. He writes the advertisement and publishes it on the website and on other dissemination sites.
  • Organize visits
The agent plans the visits, receives and guides the candidates, highlighting the strengths of the accommodation.
 Depending on whether you opt for a bare rental or a furnished rental, the clauses of the housing contract will vary. 
  • The establishment of the inventory of fixtures of entry and the inventory of fixtures of exit of the dwelling
The mandatary must compare the condition of the dwelling between the entry and exit of the tenant. Depending on what is provided for in the rental mandate, he can also take care of the repair work.
Like the sale, the rental of a property requires the establishment of certain technical diagnoses that the agent will be responsible for having carried out by a certified professional.
  • Rent management
The agent can also call and collect rents and charges. It revises the amount of the rent according to what is provided for in the rental agreement. He can also take charge of the management of unpaid invoices and follow the litigation procedures.
If your home is located in co-ownership, the agent can also settle calls for funds and charges.

Namely
> Some agents also offer support in the tax declaration of rental income.

> A1 Real Estate takes into account all the provisions, and guarantees, in order to carefully choose the best files and profiles. These files are eligible with guarantee organizations, rental guarantors such as our partner garantme.fr, in order to eliminate any risk of non-payment.

> The remuneration of the agent is negotiated between the principal and the agent and is freely determined. Generally, this varies between 5 and 8% TTC of the sums collected.

The terms of the rental management mandate are agreed between the landlord and the property manager and mention the basic rules:
  • A rental management mandate cannot exceed a period of 30 years. 
  • The remuneration of the agent is mentioned on the mandate (percentage of rents and provisions actually received, excluding security deposit).
  • The agent receives rental fees according to the legislation in force.
