Hi Lorien,

As a PM, is this an ongoing need or more of a one off? 


Hi Theresa! Just a one off, I use to have a marketing team and SEO/PPC at my fingertips, but for this property I don't

I am looking for new ways to market my SFH rental in Denver NC. I'd like to stay away from bandit signage. Does anyone have any helpful hints? I have it listed on 5 websites (free) with tracking numbers (that sometimes ring through to my phone). Fence was installed in December. TYIA!

Hot topic reply; NC generally leans toward the landlord/owner. I have been in court dozens of times for a plethora of reasons (mostly non-payment). Always ensure you are keeping ample documentation, from start to finish AND have an aggressive screening criteria in place, you'll find tenants that are low risk "good", avoiding filing 9 times out of 10. The flow chart is helpful for those that have not had to file eviction, or are just starting out. Best of luck moving forward @Vinodh Rathanam, if you're ever interested in chatting about property management software, etc. - feel free to connect!

Hi, James!

Eeeek. I have experienced this in the past with a tenant that lived on the third floor, and their infestation ran down into the second and first floor apartments below, as well as the neighboring third floor apartment - and ALL were occupied. So, first thing is first, you've addressed the pest issue, now it's time to hire a professional, serve notices to the tenants and (at least in NC) they cannot refuse treatment, they will be responsible for the bill. Next, the issue on nonpayment. I did a little research on the rules for OH and from what I found it's similar to NC, the grace period looks to be 3-days versus our 5-days. So you have started on the right track! Fill out the paperwork, serve the tenant, attend trial (unless they leave willingly), and wait for judgement. Did you maintain the lease agreements that were in place when you purchased the property/inherited the tenants or did you begin new? I'd be happy to hop on a call or discuss via email to assist any way I can! Goes without saying, I would get pest control in there ASAP. Good luck!

I have had pest control in multiple times but the professionals say it isn't going to help until the place is decluttered and cleaned up, and i can't get them to do that so in my eyes getting rid of them is the only answer to getting rid of the pests.  The prior landlord had no lease agreements and we just decided to continue with the tenant month to month with no agreement ( I know we should have immediately had them sign some form of lease but we didn't).  My attorney assured me that in my county of OH even 1 day late is grounds for asking the tenant to leave in 3 days and moving towards eviction if not out by then.  I appreciate the response and the offer to help!

 Oh yes, that's pretty bad, I'm so sorry! I had to get the tenants out too, and involve CPS, it was truly horrible. It sounds like NC needs to adopt some of OH's laws, haha. You're most welcome & best of luck.

Yes, absolutely. I always complete the replacement during the turn and ensure that we test with the tenant while completing the inventory checklist upon move in. You can put it in the lease agreement under maintenance responsibilities. I have an addendum that gives detail on tenant responsibility versus landlord (me) responsibility. What state are you in? I'd be happy to draft and email you an addendum if you'd like!
