Vacation Property Rental FAQ

Posted Fri, 03/19/2010 - 10:37 by property_host

Q. What if I have a boat? Should that be part of a vacation rental?

A. It is my suggestion that you not include the use of a boat as part of a
vacation property rental. It adds to the potential liability for the property owner. Let the vacation renter use the dock for their own boat. That leaves the renter responsible for launching, maintenance, insurance, and operation of their own boat.

Q. What about canoe's or paddle boats, that is, non-motorized water craft?

Troublesome Tenants

Posted Fri, 03/19/2010 - 07:10 by property_host

Do you have troublesome tenants? There are a number of things you can do to mitigate the hassle of tenant issues.

1. You can hire us.

2. Or you can screen your potential tenant effectively by
a) checking with previous landlords and asking specific questions like
"Did they pay their rent on time?"
"Were there any noise complaints?"
"Were they messy?"
"What kind of condition did they leave the premises when they left?"

3. Be clear about rental expectations. Show the lease and its subsequent
requirements even to applicants.
