As a landlord, when renting your home you can run into several problems. Some tenants may even appear to be the perfect match for you and your home until after they move in and you see what they are really like. The following are several problems you can run into when renting your home.

One of the biggest problems a landlord can face is late payments. Even if the tenant appears to have perfect finances and good references, they can still be late on payments. It is best to document each late payment on behalf of the tenant so you can have ground for an eviction notice should it become necessary.

If you are renting a fully furnished or partially furnished apartment or home there can be problems as to what is your and the tenants when it comes time for the tenant to move out of the residence. Therefore, it is best to clearly state in writing at the time of renting what cannot be removed from the residence. This will help to give you a legal recourse in case something is removed if the tenants do not notify you.

Another common problem is that of improper removal of garbage. If garbage is not collected, not only does the area become unsanitary but also your property can begin to look run down. Therefore, in the contract state how often garbage must be removed.

Along these lines, cleanliness can become an issue with tenants. This cannot only become a health hazard to your tenants but also to the neighbors as well. Therefore, set clear cleanliness guidelines in the contract.
