Rent, deposit, and the next follow-up

Rental brokers lose hours to the same WhatsApp loop. A tenant asks the rent, the deposit, who pays maintenance, and whether the flat is still free. The owner’s number is sitting in the original message. One forward, and the tenant calls the owner. Estavik’s rental listing is the same vault and the same share link, with words that match a tenancy rather than a sale.

What to put on the public card

• Monthly rent and what it includes.
• Deposit, in months or in rupees.
• BHK or commercial type, furnished or not, and the locality.
• The date you last confirmed it was vacant.

Keep the owner’s phone, the society rules the owner does not want forwarded, and your side of the brokerage in the private fields. Your share link shows your number. The tenant replies to you. You book the visit.

How the WhatsApp message reads

2 BHK for rent, Velachery. Rent 22,000. Deposit 4 months. Available from the 1st. Photos on the link. Message me to fix a visit. Owner number is not on this chat.

Follow-up is the rest of the job. Tenants go quiet after the visit. Put a reminder for the next evening. Match the same flat to other tenants whose budget and area you already wrote down. See matching.

Rentals in Chennai are often quoted per month in rupees, not per sq ft. A plot broker in the same city still speaks in grounds. Do not mix the captions. The Chennai page separates flats and land.

Free plan: 5 listings, 10 photos each, 3 AI text queries a month. Basic is Rs.249, Pro Rs.449, Platinum Rs.999 per month, before tax. Paid plans add 18% GST.

After the tenant visit

Rental deals die in the gap between the visit and the owner’s answer about the painting. Write who pays for the paint, whether the deposit is adjustable, and the date the flat is actually empty. Put the owner’s phone in the vault before you promise the tenant a yes. If the owner says no, deactivate the link the same hour so the next forward does not show a flat that is gone.

A tenant who wants Velachery under a rent figure and a tenant who wants Porur are different cards. Match the flat to the first card only. Sending every rental to every tenant is how your number gets marked as spam.
