Find Quality Tenants You Can Be Thankful For

Finding the “perfect” tenant for your rental property may not be feasible but finding a quality tenant may be easier than you anticipated. With a few simple steps, you too can rest at ease knowing you made all the right moves from start to finish.

Step 1:

Have your potential renter fill out a rental application. If you’re unsure if you are up-to-date on all new regulations in Los Angeles, contact us here for a free rental agreement audit.

Step 2:

Perform a background check. Background checks are often left out of the renter’s application. (Guess what? We do this for free!)

Step 3:

Require rental insurance. Encourage positive behavior from your tenant and give you peace of mind.

Now that you have a great tenant how do you keep them?

Step 1:

Respecting their boundaries and privacy can go a long way in building a good relationship with your renter. But that doesn’t mean you have to be estranged. Send a birthday card, make a positive phone call, and give them 24 hour notice to let you know you’re dropping by to make a repair. This helps build a relationship and you can do a property checkup in a positive way.

Step 2:

Take care of any repairs requested by your tenant within a timely manner. A good tenant is unlikely to resign a lease with a landlord that puts off maintenance.

Step 3:

Simply thank them. This acknowledgement let’s your tenant know you appreciate them and also encourages future positive behavior. This is a really tough time in Los Angeles for renters and landlords. If you find a quality tenant, thank them for it!

With these simple tips, you can find your ideal tenant and keep them!
