The Tel Aviv rental market is strong. Demand from local professionals, international tenants, and expats keeps rental prices high — but what you actually earn depends on how your apartment is listed, who sees it, and who’s handling it for you.
At Ronkin Real Estate, we manage the entire rental process for apartment owners in Tel Aviv. Whether you live around the corner or on the other side of the world, we take care of everything from pricing to signed lease. Here’s exactly how we do it.
We Price Your Apartment Competitively from Day One
Getting the price right matters more than most owners realize. Too high and your apartment sits empty. Too low and you’re leaving money on the table every month.
We use live market data, comparable listings, and deep knowledge of Tel Aviv’s neighborhoods to set the right asking price from day one. Our team tracks rental prices in Tel Aviv across all areas — from Old North Tel Aviv to Neve Tzedek to City Center — so we know exactly what your apartment should be commanding right now.
If you want a professional rental valuation before we list, our property appraisal service gives you a clear, accurate market value with no obligation.
We Create an Attractive Listing That Gets Results
In a competitive market, presentation is everything. A poorly written listing with no English-language copy will miss the majority of high-paying tenants entirely.
We write professional listing copy in English, French, Russian, and Hebrew — reaching the widest possible pool of tenants. Every listing highlights the right features, describes the neighborhood accurately, and is written to attract serious inquiries fast. Your apartment gets listed on our top-ranked website, which brings in consistent organic traffic from tenants actively searching for Tel Aviv rentals. We also promote across our social media channels and our 30,000+ member Facebook community — one of the largest Tel Aviv real estate audiences online.
We Advertise Your Apartment to International Renters
Not all tenants are equal. International renters, expats, and professionals relocating to Tel Aviv often pay higher rents and sign longer leases. They’re also much harder to reach if you’re only listing on local Hebrew-language platforms.
Ronkin specializes in reaching the international market. Our multilingual team and English-first website attract tenants from the US, Europe, and beyond — people moving to Tel Aviv for work, lifestyle, or family reasons who want quality apartments and are willing to pay for them. We understand what international tenants need, from navigating the cost of living in Tel Aviv to understanding leases in a foreign country. We also serve local tenants looking for well-maintained, professionally managed properties across the city’s most desirable neighborhoods.

We Find Reliable Tenants — Including Remotely
Finding reliable tenants is the part that worries most landlords. We handle tenant qualification thoroughly — verifying employment, checking references, and screening inquiries so you only deal with serious, qualified candidates.
For owners who can’t be present for viewings, we coordinate and conduct them on your behalf. You don’t need to be in Tel Aviv — we handle it all and keep you updated throughout. When it comes to collecting rent securely and managing the ongoing relationship with tenants, our property management team handles everything on the ground, including coordinating payments from international tenants in different currencies and time zones.
We Prepare Your Apartment to Maximize Its Value
How your apartment is presented before it hits the market makes a real difference to the price you can achieve. We advise on exactly what to do — and what not to do — before listing. A well-prepared apartment photographs better, shows better, and attracts better tenants. Some of the most impactful steps are simple:
- Decluttering and cleaning thoroughly before photos are taken
- Fresh paint where needed to make rooms feel bright and well-maintained
- Making sure all appliances are in working order
- Advising on the right level of furnishing for your target tenant
For furnished apartments targeting international tenants, we advise on what level of furnishing commands the best return. It’s one of the easiest ways to add value before a single tenant walks through the door.
We Handle the Legal Side
Renting out a property in Israel involves legal requirements that owners need to be aware of. There are specific regulations around rental contracts, tenant rights, and landlord obligations — and getting this wrong can be costly.
We work with trusted local attorneys who specialize in Israeli real estate law and can ensure your rental contract is properly structured and legally sound. This is especially important for foreign property owners who may not be familiar with Israeli tenancy law. A well-drafted lease protects you, sets clear expectations for the tenant, and avoids disputes down the line. We connect you with the right professionals and make sure everything is done correctly from the start.
For owners who also need to understand the tax implications of renting out their Israeli property, our guide to Tel Aviv real estate taxes is a useful starting point.
We Handle Everything — Start to Finish
Once your apartment is listed, we manage the entire process. Inquiries, viewings, tenant screening, lease negotiation, and signing — you’re not involved in every back-and-forth unless you want to be.
Our full property management service means you can be completely hands-off. This includes ongoing management after the tenant moves in — maintenance coordination, tenant relations, rent collection, and more. Think of us as your local representative, handling everything professionally while you focus on other things.
For owners considering short-term rental options, we can also advise on Airbnb and short-term rentals in Tel Aviv and whether that strategy makes financial sense for your property. Short-term rentals can generate higher monthly income but come with more active management requirements and specific local regulations. We’ll give you an honest assessment of which approach suits your apartment and goals.
Perfect for Owners Living Abroad
If you own an apartment in Tel Aviv but live overseas, managing a rental remotely is genuinely difficult. Time zones, language barriers, and the logistics of viewings and paperwork all add up quickly.
Ronkin makes it completely hands-off. We act as your local representative — handling everything on the ground while keeping you informed from wherever you are. Many of our landlord clients are international property owners who purchased in Tel Aviv as an investment and rely on us to manage their rental income reliably and professionally. Our property management service covers maintenance coordination, tenant relations, rent collection, and everything in between — so your Tel Aviv apartment works for you, not the other way around.
