Summary:

Much more goes into the leasing of property than just placing an ad in the newspaper and collecting rent. The Successful Landlord presents readers with need-to-know information, from finding good tenants to managing the ongoing tenant-landlord relationship. Combining a commonsense approach with must-have information, the book gives first-time and veteran landlords smart strategies for: * Performing background and credit checks * setting rent levels * drawing up a lease * maintaining the property and avoiding damage * establishing policies for pets, furnishings, security, and utilities * advertising available space * working with property managers * dealing with problem tenants and diputes * and much more Packed with forms for leases, letters, and other legal documents, The Successful Landlord gives readers the knowledge and tools to become successful, high-income landlords."
