Are you prepared to avoid these common tenant problems? Clagett can help!
Being a landlord is much more than buying a rental property and setting up a way to receive passive income. It involves attracting, vetting, and communicating with tenants, and the communicating part is where many problems can arise. If you are a great landlord, you will have a way, either directly or through reliable property management company, to follow through on these five common tenant problems.
Unanswered Maintenance Requests
The kitchen sink might be leaking, the windows might be leaking, and the roof might be getting old. There are countless kinds of maintenance requests a tenant might make, as there is always something that could go bad or break. One of the most common tenant problems is landlords who ignore or answer rudely to maintenance requests. Tenants are much happier when landlords hear them and answer promptly.
Home Security Concerns
If you do not feel safe in your home, is it really a home? Home security is another top issue for tenants. While the area might not be the safest, the rental can at least provide the security measures to make tenants feel safe. Ensure that all doors and windows have working locks and that exterior exits have at minimum sufficient security features.
Pests and Environmental Hazards
It is one thing for the closet shelf to be broken, but it is another thing for a home to be infested with ants, rats, or mold. Pests and environmental hazards deserve immediate attention. Allow a way for tenants to reach you easily and upload photos of the issue. That way, you will not have to visit before you find a solution.
Privacy Concerns
Privacy concerns are another top issue. The way you can avoid privacy problems among your tenants is by following your area’s landlord-tenant laws closely. You should also provide sufficient window treatments so that tenants don’t have to worry about privacy right when they move in.
Rental Payment Concerns
Renting is not always easy. Address your tenants’ rental concerns and set up the payment process to be as simple as possible.
