A communication sent to a landlord or property manager after submitting a rental application serves as a formal inquiry into the status of said application. This action demonstrates continued interest in the property and provides an opportunity to reiterate qualifications. For example, an applicant might send an email a few days after submitting their paperwork, briefly mentioning their financial stability and positive references, while politely requesting an update on the decision-making timeline.
Such proactive communication is important for several reasons. It helps to maintain the applicant’s profile in the landlord’s awareness, particularly in competitive rental markets. It also offers the applicant a chance to address any potential concerns or clarify information presented in the initial application. Historically, this type of follow-up was conducted primarily by telephone; email has become an increasingly prevalent and efficient method.
