(Paperback - REV)
As seen in news media stories nearly every day, more and more properties for sale are not selling due to an oversaturated market and rising interest rates. Tens of thousands of homeowners have turned to renting out their properties. It is essential that they quickly learn how to market to ideal renters, communicate in such a way to collect timely rent, retain residents long-term, and get them to properly maintain the premises (doing all this without losing everything, including their sanity).
In this fully updated and revised edition of the bestselling The Landlord's Kit, Jeffrey Taylor, “Mr. Landlord,” the nation’s leading authority for landlords and property managers, provides every form or checklist a landlord would ever need to communicate with tenants to be successful. From the rental advertisement and initial interaction/screening to leasing, collecting rents, maintenance, lease violations, retention, and property turnover, effective landlord-tenant communications can mean the difference between making big profits or losing thousands of dollars when renting residential properties.
If you own residential rental houses or apartments, or want to some day, you're going to profit from reading "The Landlord's Kit." As a long-time residential landlord of houses and apartments, I related especially well to this book. On my scale of one to 10, this superb book rates a solid 10.

November 10, 2002: Thank you so much for providing a book that includes all the rental forms I need to manage my properties more effectively. I couldn't believe this book included more than 100 forms. I've started using the forms to help me increase my rents and my residents are cooperating so much more with everything I ask of them. This book has actually given me a game plan to follow along with some powerful tips so that now I know exactly what and how to communicate with each resident each step of the way in the rental relationship, from the beginning of the relationship to the end. This is awesome; never before have I felt so "in control" of my landlording business.
