Constantly Drive by Your Rental Units

Property managers should never assume that no news is good news when it comes to their tenants or their properties. It is also very unwise to call up renters or tenants and ask them him how things are, and then assume that whatever they say you can take to the bank. Often, renters will make a mistake and break something on the property but not wish to tell the landlord. Or their dogs might have dug under the fence and caused some problems, or even destroyed all the landscaping in the backyard.

Sometimes sprinkler heads break and the tenants do not want to worry the landlord, and yet part of the grass in the front yard is dying, other parts are flooding, and each day it does more damage. This is why I recommend that you causally drive by your rental units, apartments, or income property rental homes early and often. It also makes sense to get to know the neighbors of your rental properties. They can become your eyes and ears and alert you to problems before they occur.

Every property manager and rental home owner wishes to have a trouble-free rental arrangement during the term of the contract or lease with the tenants. But it makes sense to also be prudent, proactive, and keep your properties profitable, livable, clean, and in good condition. The last thing you want is for the neighbors to turn in your tenants to the code enforcement, due to animals that they own, parking their car on the lawn, throwing outrageous parties, or even selling drugs out of your rental units. Please consider all this.
