Written by daniboy on 31 August 2010 – 12:33 am -In case you are a landlord this article is definitely for you. Lucky you are if the relations between you and your tenants are really good. Not many landlords can boast of that. As a rule the relationships are not so bright and calm as both parties strive for different goals: tenants are happy if the find a good flat for a cheap price, and vice versa landlords are eager to “sell” their property for the best price no matter what condition their apartment is in. even more, the less problematic their tenants are the happier the landlords tend to be. So you see that these two parties will never find their common language. That is why in order to satisfy both parts it is necessary to find some common points.
All specialists are unanimous in their recommendations: the first step on the way to a common wellbeing and satisfaction is the signing of the agreement. Experienced landlords have to know that it is impossible to accept a tenant (even the one that was recommended to you by some friends) without formalizing everything in the written form. However don’t think that if you have signed the contract you will ensure yourself against all possible troubles. That is far not the truth.

An experienced specialist will always help you in this deal. Those working in the real estate sphere recommend signing the contract even if you put your apartment on lease for a couple of days. Of course it is a must to do it if you conclude a long-term contract. I
t comes into power since the moment both parties has signed it. Each side has to get its sample. Pay attention that it has to be not the copy but the original sample of the contract. It is necessary to fix the term of rent, the address of the rented apartment; the agreement has to fix how all payments have to be held – rent payment, utility services payment. Besides, it is really important to indicate the duties and responsibilities of both parties in the agreement. In case something goes wrong it is a good reason to prove in the court that you are right.
The next step is highly recommended, however it is up to you to decide as once you go to the notary office to register you agreement automatically you have to pay the taxes on the income from your rented apartment. However, the things will go much better in the court if your contract is registered in the notary office.
Nowadays many people who hold additional flat try to make money with that. But often tenants refuse to pay their rent payments, and New York is not an exception here.

No matter what you reasons for putting the flat on lease are anyway it is a kind of entrepreneurship, and as any business it is connected with various risks. However, there is the set of certain risks that every landlord has to know in order to be able to prevent them.
The first and the most spread risk is connected with fraud. Fraudsters have a great variety of different schemes applied for cheating you. They are two ways that are mostly spread. They are sub-rent and selling the flat by the fake documents. The first scheme is working with those landlords that are away for a long period of time. Landlords may come to their apartment and see that there are absolutely different people living in it. They have paid a good sum of money and claim their right for living in this apartment. However, a landlord has never received this money and, of course, he or she is not satisfied with such situation.

So, in this case the agency bears a financial ad property responsibility.
The second problem – the sale by the fake documents – is more serious and will be solved in a more problematic way. It takes a longer time for a fraudster to prepare all fake documents and sell your flat. However, from their point of view it is worth it as the prices for the property are really miraculous nowadays. In this case you can’t avoid court trials; however, it is quite doubtful that you will lose your property. But it will take quite a lot of time and forces.

Dirty Apartment Is Not A Bright Perspective
Written by daniboy on 31 August 2010 – 12:32 am -The issue of cleanliness is very essential for many landlords. It is a real tragedy for them if they come and see that their flat has turned out into a dirty mess and it seems like nothing can help you cope with all this stuff. Then a landlord tries to come up with some idea how to settle the situation. If you were “lucky” enough to appear in a similar situation that means that you have not taken any preventive measures before letting your tenants in.
According to many landlords one of the greatest sources of dirtiness and a mess is pets. No matter how pretty and fluffy a puppy or a kitten is just think how long you are going waste for cleaning your apartment. The article about keeping the animals has to be included into the contract. In case you allow keeping animals agree with your tenants about careful cleaning after them.
Putting your apartment on lease you have to put up with the idea that tenants can be different. Dome of them will be really careful about everything that is in the apartment and some people vice versa not. You can agree with your tenant about cleaning the apartment after their leaving. If your attempts to make the tenants clean the apartment before they leave fail, then it is better to hire some special services to clean the mess in your apartment. This way you can save the time and efforts you will waste for making the order inside your rented apartment. Usually such services don’t charge too much money, so it is quite possible to use their services.
Trying to clear up the relationships with your tenants, don’t forget that there is such a notion as natural wear. Tenants are not supposed to pay for it. So you have to differentiate between the damage and natural wear of the things. So, if the tenants have broken some kind of the machine in the apartment the landlords have the right to demand the cove of such expenses. However if the problem is in your old wall paper or the piece of furniture that had to be thrown away a long time ago, your tenant is not empowered to pay for it. These are the problems of the landlord and it is up to him or her how to restore the situation.
There is one general recommendation how to avoid the damage of your property. You have to be a good psychologist at the first meeting with your potential tenants. Take a very careful look at the behavior and what the tenants say. Remember, that the first impression really matters. Sometimes having rejected the tenants at the first meeting landlords save their apartment from the future threat.
Nowadays many people who hold additional house try to conduct business on that. But often tenants turn down to pay their rent payments, and New York is not an exception here. Those landlords who are coming across that kind of problem might be interested in New York tenant landlord law. Cases may be different, and one is able to overcome some of them just being aware of the appropriate NY tenant landlord information.

For example, they can be offered to pay for the list of so called “landlords” who put their apartments on lease. Trustful tenants believe and buy this list of contact details and here the most interesting is coming. Having called by all telephone numbers a tenant realizes that they all are fakes. So a client pays and gets nothing. To be honest, the payment is not so high and cheated people never sue to the court. That is the way this type of business prospers.
Sometimes the situations are even ridiculous. A landlord and a tenant sign the contract. The tenants are happy, however landlords ask for a couple of days delay. The reasons are different: to take their personal things out of the flat, to … the list is endless, but the reality is tragic. During these days the landlords sign several more contracts, rake money and leave. When the victims try to clarify the situation it turns out that all deals were concluded by fake documents are not legal.
These are just a several examples of the cases of fraud. Be careful and take all measures of precautions.
