What Makes YOU a Good Landlord?
"A Good Landlord is Not Greedy - Nobody likes Mr. Potter!"
1. Understanding the need for quality tenant screening
"It is far better to have no tenant than to have a bad tenant."
Rental Application forms
A crucial aspect of screening tenants involves using a good rental application and other forms that focus on determining how qualified the applicant is while legally protecting the landlord. Forms such as the Tenant Finder Worksheet and the Tenant Finder Qualifying Chart can be very helpful after you have verified the information given to you on the rental application.
Actually Verifying References
I'm surprised at how many landlords don't actually make calls to check the references on the rental application! Once I had a landlord reference start laughing when I called. I asked what was so funny. He said, "I can't believe this guy was stupid enough to list me as a reference! He is being evicted as we speak."
I highly recommend the Landlord Reference Qualifier as a tool for determining the integrity of the landlord reference the tenant gives you.
A 2 minute phone call can save you thousands!
Access to pull instant credit reports
The next step in verifying the references on the signed application that also includes authorization to verify the applicant's credit is to order a credit report. Landlords without access to pull instant credit reports are at a disadvantage when it comes to making timely decisions on accepting tenants. If you do not have access to instant credit reports, I recommend The LPA's credit report agency, Quick Check Credit Reports.

Landlord Do's & Don'ts
The Rental Application
What The LPA says you should do and what you shouldn't do:
DO Give the potential tenant a copy of his signed rental application after he has applied for your rental. It contains a commitment to rent and landlord protection wording to allow you to keep the deposit if the tenant breaks his commitment.
DON'T rent to anyone without first obtaining a credit report and references.
Use the LPA Rental Application.

Ask the Attorney
 The Landlord Protection Agency® presents John Reno, Esq., a highly experienced Landlord - Tenant attorney based on Long Island, NY.
John Reno also does Mortgage Loan Modifications (Nationwide).
(Mention The LPA for a 10% discount!)
Dear Mr. Reno:
6 months ago, I leased a house to a tenant and 3 children as listed on the renter's permit by the city as well as the lease clearly stating the names of the tenant with 3 children and not the foregoing mentioned "babysitter". The lease expires in 6 months.
Since that time; the tenant has provided the rental to an overnight "babysitter" as well as herself and her 3 children.
I am not happy with this situation.
Any sensible recourse for me, the landlord?
Stanley
A: Not so much. Take the rent. When the lease expires, if you're still wanting to end it, then you can not renew it and evict them.
If you have a landlord tenant problem you'd like to ask a question about, please feel free to e-mail me your question.
Submit a landlord / tenant question for Mr. Reno
Please try to keep your questions as short and to the point as possible.
