Hi everyone!
Welcome to the site. Please feel free to bookmark it, join and tell your friends! What are some of the horror stories that you have been through as a landlord or a tenant? Please feel free to tell us about it! Many times both sides take each other for granted because they feel that they have the upper hand.
For landlords, they feel that they can do anything to the tenant and nothing will happen. While they do own the property, they still have a legal obligation to comply with all applicable laws within their state. Some feel that they can just buy a property and never invest in it or its tenants. They are under the impression that it is easy money and it is not.
For tenants, they feel that they can move in, destroy the property, make excessive noise, and anything else that they want to do. While they have certain rights as tenants, they do not have the right to alter or destroy the property in any way. They too must comply with all applicable laws within their state. Renting a property does not mean that you own it and many renters are under the false impression that they do. This can be partially controlled by landlords who are more hands on with their property (this does not mean harassment). Landlords can prevent many tenant issues by developing a positive relationship and defining clear-cut expectations from the beginning.
