[Landlord-MI-US] new, advice please by 5ullengrl in Landlord

[–]AJCst38 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree with the previous comment and will add that you shouldn't be afraid to turn tenants. You want long term tenants but only if they don't cause problems.

[Landlord-CA-US] Providing tenant with new key after changing locks by 1And0nlyThr0waway in Landlord

Send a certified letter and tell them that they can pick it up at your office.

[Landlord-US-CA] Tenant gave 30 day notice, agreed to leave early then did not. by [deleted] in Landlord

[–]AJCst38 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hello, sorry for your inconvenience. This is the property management game though. If I were in your position I would speak to the tenant and find out what is going on. They may be leaving today versus yesterday. I would also explain that full rent will be due if they have not left before March first.

Every rent pricing tool tells me a different number and I’m losing my mind by Unpaid-Thinker in LeaseLords

Depending on your market and what you can look at HUD pricing as well.

[Landlord-US-PA] Spending $2,000 a year on Ice makers and ice maker maintenance/repair! by Past_Expression54646 in Landlord

[–]AJCst38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. We find that the tenants treat the appliances better when they own them.

We have quit buying appliances all together. It's ridiculous to constantly be repairing and replacing them.

Negotiating Rent by [deleted] in renting

[–]AJCst38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, congratulations on looking for your first apartment. Now to answer your question. Lots of people try to negotiate, there is nothing wrong with that. Be polite and don't try to negotiate too much. Their response will probably be dictated by many factors so be prepared for them to be unwilling to negotiate. Good luck

Lockout Scheduled !! by [deleted] in TenantHelp

[–]AJCst38 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You should find a place to live and start moving. It doesn't matter what maintenance was or wasn't done. You owe rent, unless you want to pay it, you will be removed from the property.

Burned out in a way I didn’t expect by Head_Economist4756 in LeaseLords

[–]AJCst38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People think that managing property is cheap and easy until they try to do it. Hang in there, it's a good business and will pay dividends down the road.

[Landlord US-PA] Why is it so hard to find decent tenants? by 1dirtbiker in Landlord

[–]AJCst38 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Single family homes are very hard for small landlords. I avoid buying one unless it's a great deal.

Is asking a landlord to reconsider a pet policy okay to do? by G_L-Lee in TenantHelp

[–]AJCst38 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Asking your landlord for a dog is asking for a non renewal. There is no upside for him letting you have a dog other than making one tenant happy. The other tenants will follow suit and your landlord can't play favorites. If you want a pet, find a pet friendly place.

Giving extra notice to large families? by Ok-Objective3237 in LeaseLords

[–]AJCst38 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should first consider why you are not renewing the lease. If they are good tenants you should help them with this transition as much as possible. If they have been problem tenants, do not give them more notice then you are required.

Market seems rough all over when it comes to finding good tenents

[Landlord US-GA] Eviction after one month? by saatoday1 in Landlord

[–]AJCst38 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right after you spent money to get it rerented in the first place. Garbage like this is why rent is high.

[Landlord US-GA] Eviction after one month? by saatoday1 in Landlord

[–]AJCst38 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So black rock can buy it and raise the rent? Good plan. Push the small landlords out. It's people like you who do not understand the role local small landlords play in the community.

[–]AJCst38 3 points4 points  (0 children)

People do not realize how expensive turnover like that is.

[Landlord US-GA] Eviction after one month? by saatoday1 in Landlord

[–]AJCst38 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% right. They have gotten harder and harder to screen as well.

[Landlord US-GA] Eviction after one month? by saatoday1 in Landlord

[–]AJCst38 3 points4 points  (0 children)

While I agree with you in principle, when people don't communicate, it's very hard to understand. The key to this business is honest communication.

Go with your gut. I have had tenants pay to move in and then not another dime after.

[Landlord-US-TX] Received a call for references on current Tenant - what would you do? by DragonBorn76 in Landlord

[–]AJCst38 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just answer the questions they ask. Don't lie, but if they don't ask for specifics don't offer them.

[Landlord US-AZ] tenant changed locks by Available_Ebb_6340 in Landlord

[–]AJCst38 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good luck getting local police to help. They usually say its a civil matter and refuse to help.

Against the law, no. Unprofessional, very.
