Effectively Managing The Landlord/Tenant Relationship

The relationship between a landlord and a tenant can be unsteady. However, there are principles to keep in mind when managing a tenant which can protect you. For example, late rent should not be acceptable without a late fee. This will send a clear message to the tenant that rent is due on a certain day, or else the process of removal will begin quickly. This can set a tone of strength and fairness throughout the landlord/tenant relationship. As a landlord you may eventually need to evict a tenant. If it is your first time, you will be emotional and frustrated. But once you calm down, please realize that the situation is in your favor. You have laws to protect you.If your tenant fails to pay rent or otherwise breaches the lease it is important to act quickly and speak with an eviction lawyer if necessary.
