Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Timothy Madden has been a superintendent/manager of apartment buildings for several years, and has a strong interest in entrepreneurship. When he discovered the lack of adequate forms and checklists available to superintendents and managers, he was inspired to develop the Simply Essential Landlord s Kit to make the job of building management easier.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

As any landlord knows, the obligations and responsibilities that come with the job can be overwhelming. Keeping track of every last detail can feel like a monumental task that is never quite completed.

The Simply Essential Landlord s Kit is the best thing to come along since post-dated checks. The dozens of forms included cover every aspect of building and tenancy management. A variety of forms provides for any number of situations in the following categories:

- Rental applications - Rental agreements - Terminating tenancy - Tenant complaints - Notice of new ownership/management - Emergency procedures - Yearly expenses - Utility log - Master tenant list - Maintenance checklists

Whether you re a landlord of only one small apartment or of a whole building, a superintendent, a caretaker, or a maintenance worker, this kit will help you stay organized and profitable.

All forms and checklists are included in MS Word and PDF format on a 31/2" disk that can be used with any PC.

Congratulations on your purchase of the Simply Essential Landlord s Kit. You have just taken the first step toward managing your property more effectively.

While no program can guarantee success, this kit should help make things go a little more smoothly for you, reducing the number of headaches often associated with property management. You probably will not need to use all of the forms and checklists in the Simply Essential Landlord s Kit, since every rental situation is a little different, but feel free to experiment.

Using This Book

Here are some tips to help you use the Simply Essential Landlord s Kit efficiently, as well as some tips to help ensure your success:

- Some of the forms in this kit require you (or your representative) to circle or check the appropriate word or phrase (e.g., month\week or 4 Principle tenant, etc.). Read each form carefully, circle or check all items that apply to your situation, and ensure that each form has been properly completed.

- Signatures are always very important. Documents should never be left unsigned.

- When making changes to any A-Series form, all parties signing the form should also initial the changes.

- If you must make changes to any form, use white-out to make changes before you make multiple copies of the form; or better yet, make changes to the disk copy of the form, then print out the updated version. When using the disk copies of the forms, you may wish to print out forms double sided (e.g., Rental Application/ Rental Agreement) to save on paper. Or you can photocopy the forms double sided.

- It is important to make copies of some completed forms (particularly of the A Series: Forms for Management and Tenants), such as Damage Inspection, Termination of Tenancy, Rental Agreement, and Pet Application. Keep the original for your records and give your tenant(s) the copy. When in doubt, copy it.

- Never assume that common sense will prevail, as common sense for you may not be common sense for somebody else. People often require things to be spelled out. Being direct may help to eliminate the guesswork involved in managing your property.

- It is a good idea to join a credit-reporting agency in your area. The small price you pay for receiving credit information about a prospective tenant may save you problems in the future.

- Always call the references provided by a prospective tenant as soon as possible after the application is received. Many people list only the persons, employers, and credit references whom they are sure will provide outstanding referrals; however, you may be surprised if you call. Your gut feeling combined with the information gathered from these references and the Rental Application form are all that you have to go on.
