After this Pasadena REALTOR has helped you sign lease contracts successfully with tenants, you must deal with the responsibilities involved, including damages that need repairs. If you don’t mend those damages, the tenants will have an option to delay rental payments, not pay at all or hire a repairman and charge the costs to you. Worse, they might leave the rental premises before the lease expires.

You may not be aware of it, but there are local building and local ordinances that would require you to meet certain standards. That would include utilities, sanitation, weather, proofing, safety and security measures. To be knowledgeable of these rules, contact your local building or housing authority and inquire on the rules and the penalties involved.

Put up a notice for the employees and tenants before working on the major problems, especially when it is required that you enter a tenants’ unit. You must act quickly when dealing with the major troubles.
