Landlord Video Tips – Explaining Your Lease To Tenants

March 13, 2013 By Landlord Education

Leases & Tenants, Do They Get It?

Leases can be complicated documents and if your tenants don’t understand everything in your lease, do you know what happens? You develop headaches, often major headaches that not only affect your health, but your pocket book.

So what do you do? It’s easy, explain the lease to your tenant. Don’t just give them a copy to sign and walk away, that’s an easy out. Instead, go through all the major clauses, points, potential issues and the responsibilities of the tenants so you’re not disappointed. The few extra minutes this takes can make the duration of your lease simpler, less stressful and believe it or not, happier!

The accompanying video goes through this and a little bit more to help make sure your job as a landlord is as stress free as possible!

Explaining Your Lease

Explaining your lease to tenants and providing them the necessary tools to accomplish it can help turn you into an educated and informed landlord!

If you are finding these videos helpful, I’d love to hear from you and I’d really appreciate it if you share them on Twitter, Facebook and anywhere else too!

To make sure you don’t miss out on any of the upcoming posts, articles and videos, make sure you are registered on the site. That’s the big box on the top right of this page, just fill in your name, email and submit it and you won’t miss out on anything!

When it Comes To Leases…

When it comes to leases, not all leases are created equally. 

If you don’t have a custom lease designed for you it would be wise to have one drafted up. Leases tend to be state or province specific, but they can also be customized to benefit you and specifics you may have for your property (that fit within local landlord tenant law).

If you don’t have a lease or want more information about leases check out this article, You Got Your Lease WHERE?
