Landlord Quick Tip
Tip #193: Gotta Have It!
To avoid hoarding in your rental properties:
Include “anti-hoarding” provisions in your lease, like specifying that stairwells, hallways, exits, patios or balconies, and vents must all be kept clear; storage is limited to the spaces provided; and, prohibiting stockpiles of flammable materials that become fire tinder. Reserve the right to evict a tenant who cannot abide by the rules.
Limit the overall number of pets that can reside in the unit, subject to eviction.
Perform frequent inspections to ensure that pathways are clear and the property meets fire and building codes.
