Nipping Problem Tenant in the Bud
Q: I manage a very large rental property and while the majority of our residents are great, we do have an occasional “problem tenant” who is making life miserable for neighbors. A: You may be able to negotiate a voluntary move-out with your tenant.
Although you may feel strongly that your tenant should keep up his end of the lease, you may come out ahead by avoiding legal action and not having to worry about the problem anymore.
This column on issues confronting tenants and landlords is written by property manager Robert Griswold, author of Property Management for Dummies and Property Management Kit for Dummies and co-author of Real Estate Investing for Dummies.
