Review
This is a practical, well-organized manual for how to be a good landlord and avoid some of the pitfalls of owning rental property. Sample leases and rental agreements, information about liability, discrimination, repairs, and maintenance, and how to deal with problem tenants fairly and legally are all contained in here. Maybe if more landlords read this book, more tenants would feel like they and the owner are not intrinsic adversaries. Even though we get along quite well, and have for the last 22 years, I lent my copy to my landlord--for the other tenants' sakes!
Book Description
Every landlord and property manager needs to know the laws in their state in order to run a successful business, stay out of legal trouble with tenants, and minimize lawyer fees. This book provides comprehensive state-specific information and dozens of legal forms that the millions of U.S. landlords and property managers need―all for the price of less than 30 minutes of a typical lawyer’s time.
