How I Rented Out My House Without Managing a Single Visit
Tired of Calls & Brokers? Try This New Way to Find Tenants Easily
I felt different this time. I found a new tenant without even stepping out of my home. I put in zero effort on house visits. It happened almost 20 days before my previous tenant vacated the house. Moreover, I paid no brokerage.
The Hidden Stress Behind Finding a Tenant
I own a 2 BHK house and earn through monthly rental income.
Finding a tenant means a lot of work. Even when I used a broker or listed my house on online portals, I felt tired and exhausted. The phone calls, WhatsApp messages, house visits, arranging transport for house visits, relying on someone else to manage visits, leaving keys with the watchman — it was all too much.
Earlier brokers used to charge hefty brokerage fees. Nowadays, they claim it's free for owners but charge heavily for services like painting or cleaning — it’s brokerage in disguise. The burden of brokerage ultimately falls on tenants.
Online portals may offer free listings, but visibility often requires paid subscriptions. Then come the endless calls and the need to manage house visits myself. I couldn’t even leave town during this period. If I wanted help managing visits, I had to pay again. It still felt like paying brokerage — just rebranded.

Real Talks:
“My tenant told me a month in advance they’d be moving to a bigger house. Before I even had to do anything, a new tenant reached out through Monk & Bear. My outgoing tenant had listed the house on the platform. The entire process was so smooth — no phone calls, no visits, no stress.”
“I live in Mumbai, but the flat I rent out is in Pune. In the past, I had to depend on my society manager or broker to handle visits. This time, my outgoing tenant used Monk & Bear. I didn’t have to travel even once.”
“I work 6 days a week and just couldn’t manage the calls and house visits. I asked my old tenant to join Monk & Bear, and he agreed. Monk & Bear handled everything — including background check and police verification.”
