If you own a rental property or multiple properties, don’t be surprised at some point for your tenant to ask for lower rent. This is a very common practice especially around the time of a renewal of a lease. It’s best to remain open and listen to your tenant.

Landlords cannot refuse to rent to families with children, in most situations. This cannot be used as a reason not to rent to an applicant. However, the clutter, noise and other effects of children on a home may be mitigated by a landlord in the lease. This may not be legal, though and you may want to avoid adding rules for children in the lease.

Sometimes, landlords think that once they have invested in a rental property, they can no longer take week-long vacations. However, this can be done, with the right planning.
