hovee Rent introduces a unique Scoring System for more accurate rating results for both property owners and tenants, a distinctive feature of our platform. Ratings are provided periodically to ensure ongoing feedback and improvement of both parties and also promote transparency and help users to incremental progress.       

Our rating system creates a good image and also empowers both tenants and property owners to build trust, maintain high standards, and establish long-term relationships. Rating accessibility is granted once every 3 months / depends on the enrollment period. These ratings are summed, averaged, and calculated as a cumulative annual rating. After the completion of the first enrollment, Ratings provided by tenants become visible to all hovee Rent users. 

In this blog, we’ll walk you through the benefits of ratings in our platform for both tenants and owners.

How Ratings work ? 

Users are required to rate their owner or tenant in their 1st Quarter, 2nd Quarter, 3rd Quarter and 4th Quarter. 

 1 Quarter = 3 months 

Users cannot skip the current rating process more than twice. They will be notified via pop-ups on the platform periodically. If no rating is provided, their account will be frozen, making it mandatory for users to provide ratings every 3 months. After the Enrollment process, users rate each other using one of five terms:

• Excellent
• Very Good
• Good
• Fair
• Unsatisfactory

Checkbox Points: Users are then presented with a set of checkboxes, each representing different aspects of the interaction, such as : 

• Maintenance
• Communication and Co-operation
• Contract formalities
• Meeting expected level
• Enrollment and Rating process

 The user checks the boxes that apply to their experience. That's how our rating process works. 

Benefits for Tenants :

Our hovee Rent platform comes with several advantages for tenants, making the search and living experience much smoother.  Tenant ratings provided by property owners play a crucial role in fostering trust and transparency in the rental market. 

Tenants provide ratings to property owners based on: 

• Responsiveness - how well and how quickly the tenant communicates regarding queries, issues, or notices.
• Property maintenance - Tenant’s care towards the property, including cleanliness, timely reporting of issues, and avoiding unnecessary damages.
• Overall living experience - Respecting the rental terms, being cooperative, and maintaining harmony with neighbors and the community. 

A tenant with high ratings denoting reliability and respect for the rental agreement, which makes them more desirable for future property owners. High rated tenants are more likely to be chosen, reducing the risk of property damage. 

As an added advantage, tenants can write about their queries or challenges faced through owners in the comment section in the ratings page.

Benefits for Owners :

High ratings for a property owner reflect their commitment in providing positive rental experience, ensuring the following : 

• Property maintenance 
• Maintaining clear communication 
• Cooperation

High rated property owners tend to attract responsible tenants who value transparency and professionalism. 

With a transparent rating system, owners can confidently rent to tenants with good records, fostering trust and smoother owner-tenant relationships. As an added advantage, owners can write about their queries or challenges faced through tenants in the comment section in the ratings page

Tips to improve your Ratings :

High ratings build trust, reliability, and credibility, making it easier for you to attract the right opportunities. To achieve this, focus on simple yet effective practices.

1) Post your Property : 

<img src="https://hoveerent.com/assets/blogs/Blog%2028%20Post%20Poster%202.png" alt="Individual House">

After logging in as an owner, choose ‘Post Property’ for posting your properties. The property you post here will be visible to all tenants. Owners are required to fill in all the details of the property like Monthly Rent, Security Deposit, Move-in Availability, Location, Amenities, etc and upload pictures of it. 

Admin’s role :

Admin will be posting the accepted property on hovee rent platform. The owner will be enabling the accepted property to ‘Go Live’, which will be shown to all users. 

2) Verify your Tenant : 

Our platform gives owners complete flexibility and the right to choose the tenants based on their preferences and the details shared by the tenant. 

As a property owner, you will receive the tenant’s personal details once they submit a verification request for your property. You can carefully review the information provided such as their background, requirements, and preferences and then decide whether to accept or reject the request.

• If you approve the request, the tenant will be granted access to view the complete property details, including your contact information. This allows the tenant to connect with you directly and proceed with further discussions.
• If you reject the request, the tenant will be notified, and they can continue exploring other properties without any disruption.

Once the owner approves, the particular property details along with the owner’s contact details will be visible to the requested tenant. The verification process officially concludes here, paving the way for the next step in the rental journey - Enrollment.

3) Mutual Enrollment :

The initiation of the enrollment process is contingent upon the completion of the verification process by both tenants and owners. Both owner and tenant come to a mutual agreement after verifying each other then the enrollment process starts. 

• Tenant Request Submission - At this stage, the tenant fills in the required details and formally submits a rental request to the property owner. This request acts as the final confirmation from the tenant’s side.
• Owner’s Approval & Enrollment -  The property owner reviews the tenant’s request. Upon acceptance, the property is officially considered enrolled, and the rental confirmation is closed.

This structured approach ensures that every rental is based on trust, transparency, and mutual consent, making the process smooth and reliable for both owners and tenants.
