Without writing a complete book on the topic, let's dive a little deeper beyond the cliche advice you find all over the internet and explore the first step towards instantly making your rental memorable, not forgettable (or worse, ignorable)

Good news: Fall is finally here! If you've already taken care of your fall maintenance, it's high time to add some autumn spirit to your home. Easy fall decorations, classic fall dishes, and a few relaxing songs will help you and your tenants to feel the autumn spirit.

No one can deny that thanks to technology, the property management industry has been noticeably modified. Landlords today are more tech-savvy than only a few decades ago. On top of that, they've become more concerned with the impact of their rental business on the environment. Because of this, paper lease agreements have in many cases been replaced with online documents. But that's not the only advantage to using online lease agreements.

If moving seems too daunting for your tenants, don't panic! Being prepared for this journey is half the battle. Encourage your tenants to make a checklist and stick to it.

Fall is just around the corner, so now is a great time to prepare your rentals for the coming season. The more you pay attention to interior and exterior details of your rental properties before the first leaves start to fall, the fewer maintenance requests you'll receive in the dead of autumn.

As a landlord, you're allowed to set the rules and regulations at your rental properties. If you're not okay with your tenants having pets in the apartment, no worries. A no-pet policy will help you to specify this. But the policy can't be applied to tenants who have a medical need for an animal. In that case, you're dealing with service and emotional support animals that aren't considered pets.

It may be simpler than you think. It may also be a bit harsher than you anticipated. But it's necessary to address the proverbial elephant in the leasing office in order to get to the source of this disappointing experience - why you lost the sale. There can be many reasons that tenants walk away from applying for your rental, but in the following podcast, we'd like to focus on the three most common reasons.

Recent data shows that more than 40% of tenants aren't satisfied with their rental maintenance and 58% of tenants use toxic chemicals to clean a clogged drain.

If your rental properties are located anywhere in or around a college campus, then this is a demographic (college students) that you must remain consistently informed about.

If you are a newbie in the property management business and are preparing to rent out your first property, you're probably wondering where to start. Should I look for tenants first, or is it more important to compare rental prices? How much time does it take to find decent renters? What if I don't succeed? These questions and worries are likely to arise when you're about to start a property management business. Don't panic - we have the answers.
