Act carefully if you think your tenant has moved out without telling you. While you might assume your tenant has no intention of returning, you still need to end the tenancy correctly.
Neighbours or the council may contact you to complain about your tenants’ behaviour. Antisocial behaviour is potentially a breach of a tenancy agreement and you should take this seriously.
Late or unpaid rent can have a huge effect on your own finances. Try to deal with rent arrears as soon as possible. It will be harder for tenants to repay arrears if they have missed several rent payments.
During a tenancy, you’ll need to visit the property to carry out an inspection and make repairs. Although you’re the owner, your rights to enter the property are limited.
Subletting is when your tenant rents out part or all the property to someone else. The person they rent to is known as a ‘subtenant’. Your tenancy agreement should include a term about subletting.
