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.
