Real estate agents can be helpful when searching for a rental property. They have access to a wide range of properties and can help you find a place that meets your specific needs. They can also help you navigate the rental process, which can be complicated and time-consuming. For example, they can help you understand the lease agreement and ensure that your rights as a renter are protected. Additionally, real estate agents can help you negotiate with landlords and property managers to get the best possible rental terms. They can also help you find a rental property that is within your budget and in a location that is convenient for you. Some landlords may also require a real estate agent to be involved in the rental process, so working with an agent can help you access a wider range of properties. 

Real estate agents have connections and resources that make renting a property easier than if you did it yourself.
Agents can market and show the property, and set up viewings.
Realtors tend to have an excellent understanding of the area's rental pricing.
If you have multiple vacancies to fill, using an agent can cut down on the stress and simplify the process.
