How to be a landlord tenants love with these 5 tips

How to be a landlord tenants love with these 5 tips

Here are five top tips for becoming the landlord that tenants love to rent from:

1. Be clear and honest: Be clear when answering potential tenant's questions about loud neighbours, traffic in the area, cell phone coverage and the availability of public transport.

2. Make your tenants feel welcome: Invite your tenants over for a meal, or have a gift sent to them on the day they move in. Take the time to provide your tenants with some helpful information about the area.

3. Provide clear lines of communication: Give tenants the correct contact numbers to call during business hours, as well as an email address so they are able to reach you (the landlord) and your agent. This will help with better communication between the landlord and tenant.

4. Be quick to respond: As a landlord you no doubt expect your tenant to be on time when it comes to paying the rent, so you and/or your agent need to extend the same courtesy to your tenant when it comes to dealing with their concerns about urgent repairs, noise or security, and other issues regarding the property.

5. Be a bit flexible: No one is suggesting that you tolerate repetitive late payment, but good tenants who usually pay on time and in full will appreciate some kindness when they have a genuine problem , and are most likely to return the favour when it comes to renewing their lease or accepting a rent increase.
