Would You Rather questions are a proven way to drive engagement and connection in online communities. By presenting members with two interesting scenarios, each person is prompted to weigh their options, reflect on their preferences, and share their reasoning. This invites participation from all types of members, even those who may not usually comment.
These prompts tap into people’s natural curiosity and desire to compare experiences. In a rental property context, Would You Rather scenarios help members relate to each other’s living situations, spark playful debates, and uncover useful insights about what renters value. The lighthearted format keeps conversations friendly and inclusive, helping members feel comfortable sharing their views.

To make the most of these templates, simply copy and paste a prompt into your community feed, group chat, or forum. Rotate questions regularly to keep discussions fresh and encourage participation from different members. Amplify engagement by asking members to elaborate on their choices or share a story behind their answer. Consider using polls or images to make posts more interactive, and tag or mention members who might have unique perspectives.
For all platforms, keep Would You Rather prompts concise and visually clear. Use bold text or emojis to highlight options if the platform allows. Consider using quick polls on platforms like Facebook or Slack for easy participation. On forums, encourage longer responses by sharing your own answer first. Always moderate for respectful discussion.
Focus on scenarios both roles encounter, such as tenant screening, lease renewal negotiations, or handling maintenance emergencies. Examples include: 'Would you rather deal with a late rent payment or a surprise maintenance issue?' Tailoring questions to address common landlord/property manager dilemmas increases relevance and engagement.
Use dilemmas specific to rental property management, such as: 'Would you rather allow pets with an extra deposit, or have a strict no-pet policy?' or 'Would you rather fill vacancies with short-term rentals or wait for a long-term tenant?' These prompts invite members to share real experiences and policy preferences.
Phrase questions to focus on problem-solving rather than personal hardship, e.g., 'Would you rather mediate with a delinquent tenant or proceed directly with a formal eviction notice?' Encourage members to discuss best practices and strategies rather than sharing traumatic stories.
Absolutely! Frame questions around common screening choices, such as: 'Would you rather prioritize credit score or rental history when screening applicants?' This not only drives engagement but also helps members share and learn effective screening techniques.
Stay updated on industry news and incorporate timely scenarios, e.g., 'Would you rather operate in a rent-controlled area with stable tenants or a non-controlled area with higher turnover?' This keeps discussions relevant and encourages members to share insights about compliance and adapting to new regulations.
Create scenarios unique to each, such as: 'Would you rather manage a single-family home with high-maintenance landscaping, or a multifamily unit with frequent tenant turnover?' This acknowledges the diverse experiences within your group and ensures everyone feels included in the conversation.
