Tips

Review your policy annually
It's recommended to review your policy coverages yearly with your agent. If you're considering renovations such as a kitchen remodel or a new roof for your rental property, remember to notify your agent of updates. Substantial home repairs and enhancements could qualify for a premium credit.

Consider Hiring a Property Manager
Hiring a property manager can simplify your landlord responsibilities and make the rental process smoother. Just like vetting tenants, it's crucial to thoroughly screen potential property managers. Remember to request local references and interview several candidates before making a decision.

Follow a Tenant Screening Process
The primary objective of tenant screening is to identify reliable tenants who will pay rent punctually and treat your property with care. To choose responsible tenants, sifting through numerous applications is crucial to pinpoint suitable candidates or use a management company to assist in this process. Some are key factors to consider when selecting a tenant, their ability to pay rent in full monthly, a lack of criminal record, and a positive rental history.

Require Renters Insurance
In a world filled with lawsuits, mandating renters insurance, can prevent legal issues in case of damage to the renter's possessions. Moreover, renters insurance is typically affordable, making it a manageable expense that most tenants can readily and willingly afford.
