How to be a Happy Landlord


Get RICH ESTATE to do the hard work for you, remember a bad tenant
can cost you thousands of dollars.
Rich Estate guarantees to treat your property as if it was our own.

Put everything in writing

That way you're sure of legal recourse. Even the smallest verbal arrangements
can spell trouble.

Be strict about rental payments

Check that payments are being made at the allotted times. If they are late, act quickly to notify the tenants that you are aware of missed payments.

Be wary of shared houses

Multiple tenants may need extra supervision. Be clear with each tenant about their responsibilities at the outset. Make it clear that, if one of the roommates moves out, they will not be removed from the terms of the lease without your approval. They will be responsible for the cost of finding a replacement tenant and that tenant must be approved by you.

Be respectful

Notify tenants of how often they can expect inspections at the outset. Then make sure you give them reasonable prior warning of your visit. Make sure you listen to your tenants repair and maintenance issues and make necessary repairs in a timely fashion.

If you are scheduling any improvements or maintenance on the property, be sure to give fair notice of your plans.

Remember, happy tenants mean a happy landlord.
