Tenant Did What? Part 3

 

                                                   

Yes, that WAS a white laundry sink just as the previous Tenants left it when they moved out. Couldn't see showing house to rent with the sink in that condition. It would diminish the quality of the rest of the finishes.

Tenants had been there for just over 12 years. Mostly the house was in good condition but... After adding elbow grease to paint thinner, we got the sink back to white again. All's well that ends well.

CLEARLY - other property managers have had situations much worse. Take what happened to BG Loeffler over the years -- Tenants painting walls in truly awful colors, moving in TEN extra people in a two-bedroom home or Weegee Katz   about illegal sub-lets or Silver Davis about adding decks and outbuildings. The stories are endless and the remedy is profoundly simple.

INTENSE BACKGROUND CHECKS
                     AND
STRONG LEASES with DEPOSITS 

Good luck to you if you rent out properties. Once you get good Tenants, you will be able to enjoy the process. Good Tenants are amazing.

Good morning Lynn B. Friedman - if that is all you have after 12 years you have an excellent oversight and vetting process.

Being a landlord can be tricky! Having good processes to ensure tenants are excellent will help make sure it's a positive experience.

Good morning and great points Lynn B. Friedman I remember the author Robert G. Allen in the 1980s writing about a clause he had that gave the tenants a rent discount if they agreed to let him show up unannounced up to 2 times a month and walk through. I'm sure there are laws against offering that discount now.

Lynn things like that why I have never had a desire to be a landlord.
