When you are a landlord letting a property to paying tenants, it is important that you are able to build a mutually beneficial working relationship with the people who are living in your property. In order to achieve this, it is vital that both parties are fulfilling their duties and abiding by the rules laid out by law and in the tenancy agreement. The first step is to market your property so that you can attract reliable, trustworthy tenants.

Landlords are often busy people and it can seem faster and easier to skip tenant checks and let your property to anybody who is interested. However, it is vital to check your prospective tenants’ details and references before you decide whether to let the property to them. Unreliable tenants can cause huge headaches for you later on, casing a myriad of problems from excessive noise to property damage to unpaid rent, and once they are actually living in the property the difficulties may escalate. To avoid this, it is best to engage the services of a professional property management company such as ours.
