Easy as 1, 2, 3.

Creating a good tenant CV is as easy as

  1. following the steps on HomeHak and inputting the basic information requested.
  2. After you have input your information, go to "Overview Privacy settings" and click the information you want to show on your Tenant CV.
  3. Look at how your Preview Tenant CV looks and ask yourself the question: "Does this look good enough to get selected by a landlord?" The Preview Tenant CV is a summary of what is in your full Tenant CV.
