As a landlord, one of the most blessed people you can have around you are good tenants. While we all pray to be our own landlord someday, some of us still have to start out as a tenant. If you want your tenants to have good memories of their time with you, then do these four (4) things.
- Ongoing Maintenance
It’s always a good idea to make sure your house is well maintained and that everything is up to scratch.
Not only does on-going maintenance keep tenants on-side, it also helps landlords keep tabs on their investment, to make sure everything is working the way it should and even plan for future upgrades.
- Renovations
If your investment needs some attention or a full makeover, then it may be a good idea to put a plan in place.
Renovations or even basic upgrades could change the types of tenants you have and/or increase the rent. So, if you’ve been putting off that paint job, now may be a good time to get it going.
- Communication
It’s always important to respond to tenant’s requests or enquiries in a timely manner.
This consistent level of service and communication helps raise your loyalist and improves or builds relationships.
- Goodwill
Being friendly, helpful, and cooperative. Plus, having a good attitude can really help improve relationships with tenants and helps you establish a good reputation.
