A landlord does more than buy property and enjoy the benefits he/she earns from it. Being a landlord, especially of a commercial property brings along with it certain set of responsibilities which make this job difficult. On top of it if you end up signing a contract with problematic tenants then you will have to be on your toes all the time.

If this is the first time that you’ve had tenants on your property then it’s best to acquaint yourself with landlord-tenant laws or hire real estate management services to take care of this and other problems associated with tenants. As a landlord here are a few issues that you should be on the lookout for.

Building maintenance and repair is one issue that most landlords often overlook, however, a tenant may use this against you for his inability to pay the rent on time. Although this won’t relieve the tenant from his obligation to pay rent, it can complicate things. Therefore make sure to pay special attention to the occupied premises and respond to tenant complaints promptly. However, if the tenant is responsible for the damage to your property or the premises then you need not pay for the damages. In such cases the landlord should take help from the law to prevent further damage and recover the repair costs.

Another issue that arises when you’re the landlord of a commercial property is that one tenant may disapprove of another if they are into the same business. As a landlord you may not think of it as a problem but you may lose out on your tenants. From a legal point the landlord can lease out his/her property to anyone they want but in order to maintain good landlord-tenant relationship its best if you don’t.

If you’ve had problematic tenants in the past then here’s what you can do to avoid the same in future. A detailed and well-drafted lease will inform your tenants under what circumstances they will have to evict your property and will also address most problems if they crop up in future.

If you have many properties located in different parts of the city then addressing the problems of all your tenants can get difficult. However, in order to keep these issues at bay and build good landlord-tenant relationship you can hire a real estate property management company who will do all of this and more on your behalf.
