hi all i am a new landlord and got my first rental property. tenants moved in in September and October. the first month was fine but when December hit it got extremely cold and the heating is electric. due to poor insulation in the home that we did not know about the heat has to be turned very high up to keep the home warm, however since everything is electric it is causing the electric bill to be $800. the utilities are the tenants responsibility. however because of this one of the tenants has been extremely non compliant with paying rent.

Hi everyone, Happy New Year!
I just bought my first rental property in Baltimore, MD, and I’m planning to rent it out by the room, including the basement. The property is located near two colleges, so I’m focusing on...

Since I am super new to this, I do have a few questions:By testing the list, do you mean what data am I pulling (absentee owner, tired landlord, etc)Testing my mailer, do you mean trying different messaging?

., income, credit score, rental history) to evaluate applications in the order they are received.Notify Applicants: Let each applicant know you will process applications sequentially and explain your timeline for review.Act Promptly: If the first applicant meets your criteria, move forward with their application and provide them with a clear deadline to sign the lease and pay the deposit.Move to the Next: Only if the first applicant does not meet the criteria or declines the lease should you proceed to the next application.By focusing on one application at a time, you simplify the process, maintain transparency, and mitigate any potential fair housing concerns.Lastly, since housing laws can vary by location, double-check Arizona’s landlord-tenant regulations to ensure compliance with any local rules about how applications are handled.Best of luck with your rental process!

We are local landlords in NE Ohio- Greater Akron area. 

I haven't met a single landlord that has been doing Section 8 class D and c rentals for longer than 10 years. 

It offers flexibility as a landlord to be able to offer more or less rooms as needed, protection to the landlord in that you can hedge with adding LTR or STR to the mix, and simplification to the business as your only dealing with one address.

If you work in any of these fields or you are a landlord and you can recommend some to me, your help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks,Jason

If SF can be turned around, I think it could make a lot of sense if you understand the intricacies and can put up with the tenant/landlord law for the long term.  

I've seen many landlords that get lucky with good renters for a long period of time, then everything falls apart when they have to deal with real difficulty.I looked up your property on Google Maps, and the street view looks bad.
