Solving Landlord Problems: Q&A Episode
Listen On:
Thank you to those who have submitted questions and trust in us to answer them! We have listener questions this week that run the gambit, including:
- Who is responsible for paying to eradicate pests when the pests appear after a tenant has moved in?
- How to handle an elderly tenant who doesn’t want to move out of a potentially uninhabitable rental property that was recently inherited?
- What is our best advice when an investor purchases their first rental property?
- How is it best to handle it when a tenant leaves before the lease is up and refuses to return the unit keys?
- And we addressed an email from a listener who had questions and needed clarification regarding an episode we put up a few months ago on tenant screening software.
We also addressed a comment left about our podcast and did our best to clarify this listener’s feeling that our content misinforms real estate investors.
This episode is full of advice on how we would handle certain issues, where others can find assistance with resolving their problems that arise as landlords, and how best to ask us your questions and get a prompt response.
