3 Reasons Why You Should Leave a Postcard
Tenant referencing is a vital part of the pre-tenancy process, but the current way of working doesn’t make it easy to get the information you need. Husmus Postcards are an innovative, simple and straightforward approach to making landlords’ lives easier.
What are Husmus postcards?
Postcards are notes from other landlords on tenant behaviour! They tell you the experiences that landlords have had with other tenants to help you make informed decisions about whether or not you want to rent to them. When you fill out a postcard, you become part of something bigger: a network of savvy landlords who share their tenant assessments.

1. Get genuine feedback and Stay Ahead of Secretive Tenants
Renting out your property isn’t always easy, especially if you’re faced with problematic tenants. The vast majority of renters are perfectly reasonable and well-behaved but there is a small minority who misbehave and will go to extreme lengths to hide their chequered pasts. Their actions corrode trust and sour the experience for everyone. Most unfortunately, the only person who knows about their ill deeds is the landlord who was put through the ringer. By sharing your own experiences you can help the network landlords stay ahead.
2. Be more efficient and make savings
Let’s face it, tenant references can be expensive and time consuming - the average industry reference takes 3 days and costs about £50. Usually the most valuable part of this is what previous landlords have to say and for decades landlords have been giving that information away for free! So why not share it in a secure landlord network also for free. The challenge is knowing who to ask and how to contact them. Husmus does that work for you. We even verify both the identity and ownership status of our landlords so you can be sure that you are getting feedback from real landlords.
3. Reward Tenants Who Treat Your House Like a Home
While most tenant-landlord relationships are entirely amicable, the reality is we are more likely to give feedback on bad experiences. But let's not forget to spotlight our exceptional tenants. It's a great way to reward them for taking care of your precious investment. Plus it keeps positivity flowing in the renting world!
