How It Works
3 Simple Steps to Get Started
Joining FlexiRent is straightforward. Companies complete a short onboarding process with DLD to begin offering flexible payments to their tenants.
1
Contact the Property Management Company
The tenant contacts one of the property management companies participating in the Flexi Rent initiative to enquire about the available benefits and facilities for the property, such as flexible payment options or grace periods, depending on each company’s offering.
2
Select the Suitable Rental Option
The property management company presents the available options to the tenant, and both parties agree on the arrangement that best suits the tenant’s needs, whether through a flexible payment plan, a grace period, or other benefits offered under the Flexi Rent initiative.
3
Include the Agreed Terms in the Tenancy Contract
Once an agreement is reached, the property owner or property management company incorporates the agreed terms and rental benefits into the tenancy contract, ensuring the tenant can benefit from these advantages throughout the lease period.
