Tenant Management is an indispensable part of a rental business. Good tenant management not only optimizes cash flow but also proliferates a positive image of the rental property.

Here are few tenant management tips for rental property owners.
 
Perform Tenant Screening

Conduct a comprehensive tenant screening process before renting out the property. Perform a complete background check and fetch all the relevant details about the credit, income, employment, criminal record, rental history, etc. of the potential tenant. The process will help the owner to make a well-informed decision whilst reducing the chances of financial, legal & behavioral troubles in near future.
 
Leasing Process
Draft a lease agreement stating all the terms and conditions regarding rental property maintenance, rent price, adherence to laws & regulations, specific due dates, length of the lease, tenant’s obligations, rent revision, insurance, etc. explicitly. This will help in avoiding conflicts with tenants in the future.
 
Effective Management of the Rental Property
Effective management of the rental property is an essential component of Tenant Management. Perform regular inspections of the property (while respecting tenant’s privacy) to make sure the rental unit is safe and operational. A well-maintained property works in the interest of the tenants. Tenant tends to lease/occupy the residential unit for a longer period of time, which eventually results in an increased rate of tenant retention.
 
Responding to Tenant’s Request at the Earliest
Responding to tenant’s concerns is important when it comes to effective tenant management. Communicate with your tenants and hear out their concerns with utmost responsiveness. Manage all the tasks and organize your time effectively to resolve their issues.
 
Rent Collection & Other Financial Implications
Keep a systematic approach and offer a seamless & transparent procedure for rent payment. You can also keep an automated system & advance software to keep records of taxes, rental reports & other finances.
 
Deal with Evictions Properly
If necessary, assist move-out process & evictions aligned with proper guidelines & laws.
