When
you rent an apartment to someone, the last thing you want to get from them is a
complaint. Instead, you just want them to pay their rent on time and give you
as little hassle as possible. PropertyRecord.com understands that, and also
knows that the best way to avoid a complaint is to minimize the chances of it
happening in the first place. With that in mind, we wanted to talk about the
top three things that lead renters to file a complaint and what you can do to
avoid them.
Renter
Complaint #1 – Bad smells.
This is a very common complaint, and is usually the result of the neighbors.
More often than not the tenants will file a complaint if they can smell the
litter box or cigarette smoke from the people who live on the same floor as
them. Having a no-pets and no-smoking policy in the building will eliminate
this type of complaint, and allow you to evict the smelly people next door.
Renter
Complaint #2 – Noisy neighbors. Nobody wants to live next door to people who have loud
sex or blast music every night. People have a right to sleep. What you can do
in this situation is talk to the neighbors yourself. If they don't quiet down,
then you can file a complaint in court against them yourself and then let the
police get them to quiet down.
Renter
Complaint #3 – Temperature. If someone's apartment is too hot or too cold, you will
get a complaint about it. To avoid getting a complaint in the winter, install
new insulated windows, which will keep the apartment warmer. To avoid getting a
complaint in the summer, install up to date air conditioners or, if you own the
entire building, central air.
It
doesn't take that much effort to avoid these top three renter complaints. And
it's far easier to be a landlord who just collects rent than to have a renter
hand you a complaint you have to resolve. So, put these ideas into place and
you may never see a complaint again.
