Renting a dwelling during COVID-19 without visiting it?

Are you a property owner or manager and you currently have units for rent? CORPIQ invites you to view this video on virtual visits. It details all the aspects of the virtual visit of dwellings and gives you the keys to conclude your rental in times of confinement.

In the current context of COVID-19, public health authorities recommend the suspension of visits, but they do not prohibit them. CORPIQ agrees with the authorities, especially if your dwelling is occupied, and recommends that you use technological tools to carry out your dwelling visits, rental applications and investigations. Should you absolutely have to visit a dwelling, we invite you to visit our website, to be doubly vigilant and to verify the precautions to be taken.

Based on the recent activities on ProprioLocation, ProprioEnquête and Kangalou, a few hundred units are rented per day throughout Quebec. So, how to proceed safely?

"It's time to innovate and do things differently. Renting a dwelling without a visit is realistic today."

François Albert, Director of Information Technology, CORPIQ

For several years now, CORPIQ has been developing a range of technological tools to support its members in their real estate management.

Here is a video explaining the steps to follow in order to successfully complete your rentals:

1. Carefully prepare listing, on Kangalou there is no limit for the number of photos or text to describe and promote your property, remember to add a plan of the property. Present professional quality photos and a detailed presentation of the dwelling and remember to link a video in your listing.
2. Use ProprioMarché if you need to retouch your photos.
3. Qualify your candidate tenant well before the visit
4. Take a virtual visit with photos and videos, but also a detailed description of the apartment, its common areas and the environment.
5. There are two ways to do this: by shooting a video (or having it made by your tenant) that you will use for the interested candidates, or by organizing a live video-conference, where you can interact with the candidate throughout the visit. If the candidate is interested, proceed with an electronic rental application using Proprio Location, a 100% online free tool.
6. Then, conduct an online credit screening with ProprioEnquête, the information from the rental application is automatically transferred to it.
7. Sign your lease remotely, firstly by confirming the identity of your prospective tenant and to sign last.
8. In this period of pandemic, you can proceed remotely to sign your leases.
