Renting Out Your Property — A Landlord's Guide to OEADS

Finding Tenants Is Getting Harder

With more properties being built and competition increasing, landlords need to work harder to attract quality tenants. A well-crafted listing on OEADS property section can make a significant difference.

The Right Photos

Take photos of every room, the kitchen, bathrooms, parking area, and the building exterior. Show empty rooms if possible — it helps tenants imagine their own furniture in the space. Make sure every room is clean and well-lit before shooting.

Detailed Description

Tenantsshould not need to call you for basic information. Include: number of bedrooms, bathrooms, total area (in square feet or marlas), floor level, whether it is furnished or unfurnished, parking availability, water and electricity backup, and nearby landmarks.

Pricing Competitively

Check what similar properties in your area are listed for on OEADS. If similar apartments in your building are listed at 35,000 PKR and you are asking 45,000, you need to justify the difference — better view, renovated kitchen, parking included.

Response Time

Tenants move quickly. If someone messages you about your property and you respond two days later, they have already signed somewhere else. Respond to inquiries within a few hours during business days.

Screens Before Renting

Ask for references from previous landlords. Verify the tenant's employment. Have a proper rental agreement in place. A small investment in screening upfront saves headaches later.
