We’ve all heard about “that house,” the one in every neighborhood that fosters a never-ending parade of mess and mayhem. Whether it’s a poorly maintained yard, animals running uncontrollably, or loud parties, a rental property with wild tenants can quickly grow into the object of frustration and resentment for the entire neighborhood.
If the worst house on the block is a rental home, it can quickly become more than a nuisance. A poorly managed rental home not only creates issues for the neighborhood but also places your investment and its future value at risk. Letting your Twin Falls tenants disregard the yard, litter the home’s exterior with household elements or other things immediately. In addition to being an eyesore, a mismanaged yard welcomes disease-carrying insects or other pests to stay.
The Problem with Problematic Tenants
Homes with incessantly barking dogs or too many animals running free also provide another serious risk. Relentless barking may violate local noise ordinances and could result in legal action against you and your tenant. Renters with too many animals or poorly cared for animals can cause serious health hazards and risk of injury. If your renter’s animal bites a person, both you and your tenant can find yourself facing some serious consequences.
Rental homes with frequent loud parties or too many visitors cause problems for everyone. A steady flow of complaints regarding after-hour noises, loud music, or vehicles filling the street can motivate local police officers to take action if you don’t put a stop to it first. Similarly, extremely dirty homes have a severe negative impact on your and your neighbors’ property values.
Conclusively, the way to keep your rental property from becoming “that house” is to use a professional property management company.
