Collect tenant information
Welcome to the first step in ensuring a smooth tenancy for both landlord and tenant! Here, we gather all relevant details about the tenant, including their name, contact information, and any special requirements they may have. Capturing this information accurately is crucial for compliance and establishing communication channels, so be prepared and thorough! What if the tenant's information is incomplete? Don't hesitate to reach out again or clarify vague details.
Gather lease agreement details
Now, let's take a closer look at the lease agreement! This step is vital to understand the terms and conditions that govern the tenancy. Are there any critical clauses? What is the duration of the lease? Consider gathering copies for reference. If crucial details are missing, ensure you communicate with the landlord to fill those gaps. Having a complete understanding is key to effective management and compliance.
