Be the Kind of Landlord Renters Can Appreciate

As a landlord, I have a lot of experience dealing with complaints from renters. When I first started renting my home out to virtual strangers, I figured that providing a clean space to live in was enough to keep my renters happy, but I quickly learned that this just was not the case. The small stuff, like getting even small stains removed from the carpet and having the pipes cleaned, is just as important as clean cabinets and reliable roofing. The more well kept your rental property is, the more rent you can ask for it. I hope that this website can help you to put together a solid rental plan that keeps you and your renters happy without the need for continual micromanagement on your part.
