A landlord needs to check references when performing tenant screening.  It is important to ask the questions in a way that exposes references that may not be legitimate.  Some applicants may use friends and relatives to pose as employer’s or previous landlords.  Checking references takes work and can be time consuming but it is an important part of making an informed and ultimately good decision.

Late Fees!

You have to be consistent and professional when enforcing late fees. You cannot let it slide or be slow when dealing with late payments. If you start accepting late payments this will be taken by the tenant as an ok to be late with the rent. You need to let the tenant know that you expect the rent on time every time. Confrontations as a landlord are inevitable but don’t make it harder on yourself!

RENTER’S INSURANCE!

The best way to protect and insure yourself as a renter is to have renter’s insurance. It is inexpensive and protects your personal belongings against fire, theft and natural disasters. A lot of renters overlook renter’s insurance until they have a loss and then wish they would have purchased it to protect themselves.
