One thing we did was actually use lock boxes so that we did not have to meet anyone in person. Prior to the tenant moving out we set up a lock box for them to put their keys in. We had the cleaning company come after they moved out and also used the lock box so they would not need to meet anyone. We made sure that our cleaning company did a more extensive job of cleaning and sanitizing all surfaces than before.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the actual check-in we did not meet the new tenant in person but used the lock box\u00a0so that we did not need to meet.

Our normal business model is to meet with potential renters face to face and holding open houses for them to see the property.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, we are renting properties over the phone. We are having our contractors that we have relationships with sending us pictures and videos of the properties after they do the renovations. We have a list of specific things we like to see in the video, such as the mechanicals, the kitchen, the bathrooms, the amenities of the property, and the neighborhood. The biggest struggle with this approach is training the contractors on how to create quality video content, how to set up Google Photos, upload content, and share it with us so that we can create these videos.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The renters like seeing these tours. In the current environment, no one wants to go outside unless it is necessary. The struggles that renters are having is that their leases are up and they are being forced to move. These virtual tours allow renters to filter through properties without having to spend time going to them and risking exposure. A lot of renters feel more comfortable seeing the property before making any financial decisions or even applying to live there.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-Shawn Breyer, owner of <\/span><\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.eastatlhomebuyers.com\/atlanta-house-buyers\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>Atlanta House Buyers<\/em><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13146\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rentecdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/tenants-and-zoom.png\" alt=\"communicate with tenants\" width=\"950\" height=\"558\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rentecdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/tenants-and-zoom.png 950w, https:\/\/www.rentecdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/tenants-and-zoom-300x176.png 300w, https:\/\/www.rentecdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/tenants-and-zoom-600x352.png 600w, https:\/\/www.rentecdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/tenants-and-zoom-768x451.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/h2>\n<h2>Communicating with tenants via Zoom, Facetime and Text<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;We are limiting the number of persons that can view our properties at one time.

We let them know that the property manager will be on-site to open the property, but they will not be shaking hands and will be keeping a safe distance so please do not be offended. We have also stopped giving out any paper applications. If they would like an application, we will email them one and they must return the application electronically.
