If they don't already have a liner, we give them one with their move-in gifts.

The intent is great... but after a few months, the tenant (jobless or between jobs, who was REQUIRED by law (because they have 'income' from a "short-term rental assistance" gift source) to become a tenant) will be in default.

Hams, gift cards or even a personal email/letter sounds good! 

The freaking out tenant and whatever happened can be resolved after I get my shut-eye.And the only housewarming gift I strongly suggest you give your tenants, is a new toilet plunger you leave by the toilets.

I often wonder if it's worth it to have exceptional customer service / rewards for tenants, or if you'll get stepped on.Example: Anyone who pays rent on time for an entire year and renews the lease is gifted a $100 walmart giftcard (I wouldn't advertise that though, just a ''surprise'' reward)

My wife is a licensed realtor and manages apartment buildings for a living.Did I mention that all my tenants get a gift card for Christmas, even the ones that are late, even the ones with arrears.

If it continues to flip to off Call landlord.For the snow I would just gift a snow shovel and/or post a sign outside.

"My boyfriend make good money, he's a rapper" Um, like a gift "wrapper" at Dillards?

And I should manage it as MY money, not a freebie, not a gift, but something that is mine.They want to use a HML on an asset they want to fix and keep, and hope to refi...but with a HML for at least 6 months, and no experience of fix/rehab they likely will not come out ok, but hear it as a way to get in the game.They want to enter into a wholesale contract with no money to perform, another using other people's money thing.They want to manage a syndication, because they did real good in the real estate boom and now are real estate geniuses, kind of like selling ice cream in the Summer.

Treat tenants like they are gods gift to allow them to rent from them.
