As a property owner, you should be aware of not only the inside of your rental unit, but also the exterior. Sometimes landlords forget to keep an eye on the exterior unless they are shoveling snow or raking leaves. Tree trimming is a very important task to keep up with due to the fact that tree branches can cause danger. They can damage structure, hit utility lines, or hurt a passing pedestrian. These are a few tips for landlords to be conscious of the necessity of tree trimming on their rental property.

As a landlord, there is plenty of clean up involved with a space you are renting after a tenant moves out. You have to clean up the unit, repair any damages, and potentially repaint and have the carpets cleaned.

This situation has been happening more often and landlords need to know what the laws are regarding this.

A good tenant is one that pays on time, follows rental rules, keeps common areas clean, and refers other good people. There are ways for landlords to keep good tenants by offering incentives.
