                <description><![CDATA[If you have no clue how to describe a problem tenant, youandrsquo;re a lucky landlord. Dealing with difficult renters can be a landlordandrsquo;s worst nightmare. Bad tenants have been known to do everything from refusing to pay rent on time, damaging appliances and furnitureandnbsp;or even conducting criminal activity in the rental. If all these behaviors belong to one and the same tenant, thatandrsquo;s a disaster. But if a tenant was late with the rent one time, it doesnandrsquo;t automatically mean theyandrsquo;re a terrible renter. Donandrsquo;t jump the gun. Instead, carefully analyze the circumstances first.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Gun control is a hot topic and has been for years. The Second Amendment has sparked heated debate on both sides of the issue, the focus usually being what the government will restrict or permit. But what gets left out of the conversation is what private citizens can impose on each other (the Second Amendment is between the government and citizens, not citizen to citizen). In the rental world, the question is can a landlord place limitations on their private property, or does a tenant have the right to bear arms within their rented home? ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[It is rare, but every once in a while I get a tenant who stops paying rent and tells me itandrsquo;s because I wonandrsquo;t fix something. They often state they donandrsquo;t have to andldquo;legallyandrdquo; pay because the rental is in bad condition. Once a tenant even claimed they should get six months free rent because the roof leaked. Itandrsquo;s even rarer that the courts will see this as anything but andldquo;nonpayment of rent.andrdquo; It is, however, your responsibility to make sure all is in order. These days itandrsquo;s quite easy to do that using technology.

                <description><![CDATA[Dealing with roommate-renters might not be that easy. When it comes to joint lease agreements or separate rent payments, youandrsquo;ll probably get confused and start searching for a property management software if youandrsquo;re not already using one. In addition, tenants who share an apartment have specific obligations regarding rent payments and lease agreements terms. But sometimes they canandrsquo;t get along with each other, and that causes trouble for the landlord and can eventually put rental income at risk. To avoid this, share with your roommate-renters the list of common roommate types to help them better understand each other and enhance their roommate experience.]]></description>
