Who determines the rental?
As with every park of the management service our owners decide what works for them. That being said, in order to make an informed decision Toodle will arrange for an onsite meeting at the property and will send the owners and brief summary of the points discussed and our expectations of the likely market rental range based on comparable properties in the area. This doesn't mean that the owner has to accept this range, it's simply a guide.
