Providing a strong rental agreement is one of the most important parts of effectively managing a rental property.
The lease is a legally binding contract that answers questions such as:
- How much is the rent?
- Who is living at the property?
- When does the lease start?
- When does the lease end?
- Who is responsible for landscaping?
- Who is responsible to pay utilities?
There are countless other questions that the lease answers. Every property is unique and needs specific clarification.
Strong lease negotiation starts with accurate and effective marketing. The marketing must clearly convey to potential tenants the basic expectations of the rental agreement. When potential tenants know what is expected from the they don’t typically try to negotiate unfavorable terms.
We want the best tenant to live in your rental property and so we make the lease process as easy as possible. We use DocuSign to clearly show tenants where and how to securely sign all documents that come with renting the property.
Lease enforcement is essential to maximizing the monthly rental income you receive and reducing maintenance or contractual issues that can create unnecessary expenses. One of the best places to ensure lease enforcement is when we perform and annual inspection of the property.
The annual inspection gives us the opportunity to ensure the tenant is using the space as outlined in the lease agreement. This is the perfect time to see if we need to politely insist that tenants maintain, live in, and interact with the property as agreed.
