Rental is like a long-term hotel for renters. It is very important that the landlords understand this and run it like a hotel business by making sure the property is in clean and move-in condition.

It is very difficult to rent a dirty house if the house needs a new coat of paint, house cleaning and carpet cleaning. With a dirty house, landlord will end up doing a lot of showings with no application to rent the house.

If they finally get an application to rent the house, most likely are the ones other landlords will not consider with bad credit or other problems. Those renters has no other choice but to apply for any suitable house that will consider their applications.

If a landlord wants to find top notch renters with excellent credit, they need to keep the property in top shape to draw that crowd.

Landlord suffers more financial lost on vacancy if the house is not in a clean and move-in condition. Therefore, it is to the landlord's best interest to keep the house in optimal condition.
