Think back to only 10 years ago. It was still kind of taboo to meet people online. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, practically everyone who is dating is using apps like Tinder to meet and connect with people. Renting is the same and while the industry has been a bit slower to adapt to these new technologies it\u2019s all going online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, how can landlords and tenants look good and stand out online?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One way you can improve your chances of getting that first impression rose is by getting verified in our safe and trusted community of renters and tenants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to trust landlords &amp; renters<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You won&#8217;t find our extra layers of <a href=\"https:\/\/liv.rent\/blog\/2019\/10\/verification-process\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">protection against rental scams<\/a> on Craigslist, Kijiji, or even on Facebook Marketplace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being verified on liv.rent means that we\u2019re checking your ID to see that you are who you say you are. For renters, we check your government-issued ID and match it to a selfie that you send us and as soon as our team is able to verify your identity, then we destroy that info.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For landlords and property managers, we\u2019re checking IDs and business licenses. To verify properties, we\u2019re checking more documents and we can even check that an address is real and really owned by the landlord by verification through the mail.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Verified renters are 77% more likely to get the first impression rose because they\u2019re seen as being more reliable and desirable, increasing your chances of securing the perfect rental&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Verified landlords get <strong>3X the inquiries<\/strong> than unverified landlords, and their verified listings receive <strong>5X the engagement<\/strong> compared to unverified listings.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"border: 5px solid aliceblue; text-align: center; margin: 20px 0%; padding: 20px\">\n<p style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #3E5B77; margin: 0;\"><strong><a href=\"#toc\">Back To Top<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"redflags\">Things to look out for in landlords &amp; renters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Like any relationship, there are red flags and green flags to look out for when it comes to making a choice and settling down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Does your <a href=\"https:\/\/liv.rent\/blog\/2020\/12\/top-property-management-trends-to-know\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">landlord respond<\/a> to you promptly and politely? Or, do they miss messages and take a while to get back to you?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Does your potential tenant seem to be well organized with their documents, or are they all over the place?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tough thing about these flags is that they&#8217;re hard to spot if you don&#8217;t know what you&#8217;re looking for. What are the most common red flags and green flags? And, how do you know what signals you&#8217;re sending?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Understanding the Residential Tenancy Act<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The easiest way to identify red flags and green flags is by making sure you have a strong understanding of the rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In B.C., we have the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www2.gov.bc.ca\/gov\/content\/housing-tenancy\/residential-tenancies\" target=\"_blank\">Residential Tenancy Act<\/a> and in Ontario, we have the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ontario.ca\/laws\/statute\/06r17\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Residential Tenancies Act<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These documents set out the rules and regulations around the entire rental process and it&#8217;s a good idea to be familiar with them so that if a tenant or landlord does something they&#8217;re not legally permitted to do, you&#8217;ll be informed to make your next decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"border: 2px solid lightcoral; text-align: center; margin: 30px 0; padding: 20px; color: #BD8D7C;\">\n<p style=\"font-size: 16px;margin: 0;\"><b>&gt;&gt; Recommended Reading:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/liv.rent\/blog\/2019\/09\/residential-tenancy-agreement-explained\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BC Residential Tenancy Agreement Explained<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Understanding rental leases<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you feel like you\u2019re really starting to have a connection with the landlord or renter that you&#8217;ve chosen and you\u2019ve educated yourself on your local laws, then it\u2019s time to talk lease agreements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019re going to want to look closely at the lease because it&#8217;s where more red flags can hide. For example, most of the tension between a renter and their landlord happens over rent or when there&#8217;s a late rent payment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check or set up the section of your lease that talks about that because that&#8217;s where it&#8217;s really important to be on the same page.

After all, renters are humans and not robots. It&#8217;s important for landlords to be firm but understanding when this happens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tenants want to rent from someone who\u2019s fair. Issues around rent payment are where the most conflict can happen between the two of them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"border: 5px solid aliceblue; text-align: center; margin: 20px 0%; padding: 20px\">\n<p style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #3E5B77; margin: 0;\"><strong><a href=\"#toc\">Back To Top<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It can be pretty awkward when a landlord who loves their tenant realizes that the tenant didn\u2019t pay rent for that month.

If the pair are on liv.rent, then the landlord can request for rent payment through our app and the tenant can pay right away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<br> \n\n<style> \n\n.button-rethink-way-you-rent { \n  background-color: #3E5B77; \n  border: 5px #26425C; \n  color: white; \n  padding: 10px 30px; \n  text-align: center; \n  text-decoration: none; \n  display: inline-block; \n  font-size: 15px; \n  margin: 5px 0px 20px 0px; \n  cursor: pointer; \n} \n<\/style> \n\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-23097\" src=\"https:\/\/liv.rent\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Digital-Contracts-Cropped-2.gif\" alt=\"Find apartments &amp; houses for rent with the liv.rent app\" width=\"196\" height=\"370\" style=\"float:left;\"> \n\n<h3 style=\"color: #3E5B77;\">Rethink The Way You Rent<\/h3> \n\n<p>Not on <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/liv.rent\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">liv.rent<\/a><\/strong> yet?
