The start of a tenancy is the vital because this will be the foundation of a new chapter in your tenants life as they are deciding where they will call home for the next few months or years.

For anyone moving home; this can be a pretty exciting and mildly stressful at the same time. To help you get your tenants settled in to there new home, offer clear direction right from the start. Set your expectations and explain to the tenants their rights and obligations as well as your own rights and obligations as the landlord.

All landlords want a “long term tenant”; where there are no or very limited issues/ challenges to allow a smooth property journey. You can only truly call a property an asset if it can essentially manage itself. The BEST way to do this is to control the asset as best you can by monitoring and guiding the occupiers of your property.

Make sure you give your tenant a TENANT HANDBOOK. A handbook can detail some of the most common questions and answers to any potential questions your tenant may have or how to resolve any potential issues which may occur.

A tenant handbook will provide your tenant with all of the information that they will need to be able to enjoy living in your property and makes sure that it is handed back in the original or more improved condition.
