How to rent a villa in Cyprus marketplace with bad credit
There is no turning back: having a bad credit history can make it difficult to rent a property. And what to say if it is a luxury villa or an apartment with a swimming pool. Lack of access to credit creates a considerable challenge. However, there are some ways to get a property rental in Cyprus with a bad credit history.
And you know what? To complete your search and subsequent rent. For this to happen, it is essential to act honestly, in good faith, and showing things as they are. Thus, a bond of trust can be generated, and the contract signed. Your track record
Your background is crucial. If you had an excellent record with your previous owner, please provide certified documentation for reference. Especially if it is a long-term record and high-quality properties. If you have never rented an apartment or villa, look for referrals from friends with wealth.
This can certainly help you when your credit history is not the best. Your salary Many times, it happens that you have a bad credit reputation and a good salary. If that's the case, don't worry about your rating.
The landlord can be impressed by showing a high income compared to the rental value. Keep in mind that his salary is at least 6 months old, thus showing that he has been in the position for some time. Along with the proof of payment of your salary, it is good to share your curriculum vitae to strengthen the landlord's concept. Don't stop saving
You may not have access to good credit, but you are saving. So, the advice is: don't stop holding. Show your potential landlord your bank statements with available reserves. A villa owner will feel more confident if he finds that his savings are sufficient to cover future rentals and unforeseen repairs.
Be honest When renting, it is best, to tell the truth about your situation to the property owner you wish to rent. Remember that today anyone can know about our credit situation through websites that have this information. For now, explain that you have good budgeting habits for your future landlord.
Automatic debits A great way to build trust is by setting up automatic debit payments. Without a doubt, this is something that property owners take a lot of peace of mind. You can even offer this system even if the renter does not use it, inviting him to test its operation.
Keep in mind to assure the owner that he will always have sufficient funds to make the automatic debit. Payment in advance Making advance payment offers is always a good way to build trust with the landlord. Advancing several months (even up to a year) is an excellent alternative when you do not have a good credit history.
Also, paying in advance may lead you to request a rent discount, which many landlords are willing to grant. Use a guarantor If none of the proposed alternatives works, it is best to find a third party with good creditworthiness who signs their name and is a guarantor of the rent. Please note that if you cannot pay the rent, the co-signer (your guarantor) will have to do so.
For now, try to make it a person you absolutely trust. Even a first-degree relative is one of the best options for these cases.
