How Seeff Can help you manage your rental property
Category News
As a landlord, you might think that saving on a rental agent is a smart move that can help you keep more of your rental income. But, in reality there's a very real possibility that managing your rental property on your own could come with a number of unexpected challenges...
The challenges of managing your own rental
Owning a rental property can be painless when you have reliable tenants and are able to keep up with maintenance. But, if you end up with difficult tenants, or need to find new tenants you might encounter some pitfalls.
Finding suitable tenants: This means arranging viewings, screening applicants, preparing lease documents, and marketing the property. This process can be exceptionally time-consuming, and if you aren't clued up, it could result in financial losses.
Maintenance and repairs: Unfortunately, your work doesn't stop once you've found tenants; you also need to ensure your property remains in good condition, which means arranging regular visits to the property and attending to any issues on time.
Payment defaulters: Not all tenants will be reliable, and in the case that your tenant defaults on their rent, you will need to take steps in accordance with the relevant legislation. This includes the Rental Housing Act and the Prevention of Illegal Evictions (PIE) Act, as well as any laws and regulations relating to complexes governed by sectional title and home owners association legislation.
