Who\u2019d want to live any other way? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This mentality is a good thing for a landlord; you have a big financial investment at stake and you\u2019re entrusting it to people who are pretty much strangers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In order to make it easy for your tenants to meet their expectations and protect your property at the same time, you need to treat their move-in the same way you\u2019d approach a transaction with anyone you handed over the keys to any other part of your kingdom. If you lend your car to someone you tell him what kind of gas it takes, who your insurer is, and give him a heads up about the balky CD player. And you certainly wouldn\u2019t leave a dog-sitter or a plant-sitter, much less a babysitter, alone for the first time without a comprehensive list of contact numbers and dos and don\u2019ts. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Along the same lines, here\u2019s a list of items to give your new tenants, as well as some tips on how to make life easier for everyone involved:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Start Them off Right<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Begin with finishes and furnishings that are easy to care for. Your tenant shouldn\u2019t have to live in constant fear of ruining something and then being financially responsible for it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Floor treatments. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Light-colored carpet is a magnet for stains. Even the most careful tenants can\u2019t be faulted if someone spills on it, so why set them up for failure? Think over the flooring in the rest of the house too, <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/flooring.about.com\/od\/kitchen-floors\/a\/Low-Maintenance-Kitchen-Flooring-Ideas.htm\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">especially the kitchen<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Countertops. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even though it\u2019s very popular and considered high end, granite and similar natural materials are prone to staining and some need periodic sealing treatments. On the other hand, inexpensive materials often aren\u2019t heat-resistant and inadvertently leaving a hot pan on them briefly can leave burn marks. Every material has its downside, but it benefits you and your tenants to have countertops that are as durable as possible. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Window coverings. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flimsy blinds don\u2019t stand up to long-term use, and aren\u2019t easy to clean. It\u2019s really not fair to tenants to expect them to maintain these in pristine working condition. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Tell Them What to Watch Out For<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In some parts of the country, and in some climates, there are natural occurrences that a tenant should be aware of. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the beach or in areas with high humidity, for example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentecdirect.com\/blog\/2016\/02\/mold-and-your-rental-home\/\">mold is a problem<\/a>. Certain insects and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentecdirect.com\/blog\/2016\/08\/eliminate-pests\/\">pests are common property issues<\/a> in other places. While rentals\u00a0in California, like <span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lewisapartments.com\/\">Lewis Apartments<\/a><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, should review\u00a0basic earthquake safety and how to anchor furniture with their tenants. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you take steps to protect your property and empower your tenants with knowledge about what to look out for and how to mitigate problems if they arise, it will benefit everyone.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Give Them Instructions<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the surfaces need special care or cautions, be sure to advise your tenants about them. If you\u2019ve had the tub re-glazed, for example, make sure the tenants know not to use abrasive cleaners on it. You could also give them a move-in kit of specific cleaning supplies if they\u2019re required, and let them know where to purchase replacements when they run out. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Help Them Understand the Appliances<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tenants are less likely to have \u2014 or cause \u2014 problems if they understand how things work. If there\u2019s any special method to using an appliance, explain it. If you have the original appliance manuals, make copies and put them in binders or sturdy plastic envelopes for your tenants. If you don\u2019t have the manuals, go online and find them; almost all manuals are available at the manufacturers\u2019 websites. It\u2019s also a great help when service is required if you take the time to annotate the manuals with the appliances\u2019 model and serial numbers. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A great resource to share with your tenants is the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentecdirect.com\/blog\/2016\/09\/help-renters-successful-new-renter-maintenance-checklist\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New Tenant Success Tips Guide<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that details cleaning and maintenance instructions for renters.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Don\u2019t Expect Them to Deal With Quirks<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It doesn\u2019t cut it to tell a new tenant that the refrigerator door closes if you kick it twice, that the doorbell shorts out in the rain but it\u2019s fine after you take a hair dryer to it, or that someone can\u2019t flush the toilet if someone else is running the water in the kitchen sink. It\u2019s your responsibility to make sure that everything is in sound working order and doesn\u2019t require idiosyncratic handling. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Make Sure They Know the Routines<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentecdirect.com\/blog\/2015\/06\/15-things-to-remind-your-tenants-on-moving-day\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let your tenants know<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the regular schedules for trash pick-up and any regular services like gardening and pest control. Make sure they know if they\u2019ve got to make special arrangements for anything, like leaving a gate unlocked or a pet kept in. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Give Them Helpful Resources<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course you give your tenants a number where you can be reached 24\/7 in case of emergency. But it\u2019s also a good idea to give them direct utility numbers for water, gas, and power emergencies. As for non-emergency situations, make it easy for tenants to discuss them with \u00a0you. A tenant who is reluctant to call you is one who is going to let small problems escalate. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most renters\u00a0move into a new place with the\u00a0intention of keeping it clean and comfortable.
