Landlords Advice

[elvenrunelord]

Make sure you and your management company know the renters laws of the area you are renting in. Remember no contract can force a consumer to sign away their rights and a informed consumer of which there are more every day can really burn you if you try to lie to them.

Well….there are many ways of getting to a solution…may be the one you say is not the most appropriate one….but whatever….;-)

Why would you engage a management company that was not conversant with the local tenant laws? I thought that was their business.

[shruti]

Yes i do agree with you landlord have to think about consumers right.

The property management company you choose, after you have done your due diligence and interviewed them, should be knowledgeable of all aspects of the business locally and the state level. this includes having licenses if it is appropriate in their area, having an eviction process and lawyers on hand if necessary to do so. they should be able to explain to you, what are standard amenities you are required to have in the apartment, your rights, and tenant rights. They should also have a screening process for tenants that they should be able to tell you about in detail.
