Oregon Rental Showings and Pre-Screening: Through the Application Handoff

<p>Oregon rental showings and pre-screening start when someone calls, emails, or texts, and they stop when you have handed them the application and walked them through it. Reply first on the channel they used, then the other channels, and stop after three days. It is the hosted tour, the open house, the lockbox, and the video walk. It is also the line on what you may ask before you ever see a completed form.</p><p>Most lost rentals are slow replies. A prospect who inquired at lunch can tour three other places before dinner. Time is not your friend. The same three-day rule applies after the tour. Start on the channel they used to book it. Ask if they have questions. Offer to walk them through the application. If they are not ready, ask why. Then stop.</p><p>You will also learn the questions that belong on that call and the ones that do not. Move date, occupants, pets under the written rule, and whether income can meet the published standard. Housing assistance counts, and a voucher household is measured on the portion they pay. An assistance animal is not pet rent and is not a reason to cancel the showing. Kids, pregnancy, marital status, religion, race, national origin, disability, and immigration status are not filters.</p><p>If someone still lives in the unit, Oregon requires 24 hours’ actual notice before you exhibit it to a prospective tenant. If the unit is in Portland and you are advertising, the notice goes out at least 72 hours before applications open. A showing during that wait is not an application they can submit.</p><p>Pricing and the ad are in <a href="https://www.northwestreia.com/challenge-page/oregon-market-rent-price-advertise-rental?programId=c5afd3ea-c21e-40c1-8bf0-f6e3c75067d2">Oregon Market Rent: Price and Advertise a Rental</a>.
