Words of wisdom
It is far better to have NO tenant than to have a BAD tenant. Be patient with the process; you may be wondering what’s taking so long; when in fact we are working hard screening out BAD potential tenants.
Avoid improperly preparing your property before
the tenant moves in:
Nothing starts out a Tenant/Landlord relationship worse than having a disappointed tenant at move in. If you have been living in this property and become accustomed to idiosyncrasies of the property that is normal. BUT…your new tenant is not used to the door knob that needs that special jiggle to open or the missing or broken fixtures. If you want a great tenant make your rental property one that a GREAT tenant will be attracted to.
Lastly communicate with your Property Manager; this goes doubly when you are handling all the repairs and property preparation. In order to save yourself time and money make sure you are on the same page with what is required by law and how we expect to turn over a unit to a tenant. We will be happy to help assist you with a honey do list to make this as easy as possible.
