Many landlords are attracted to the Luton and Dunstable rental market by the prospect of property appreciation over time and a consistent income stream from tenant rent payments. However the reality of being a landlord is far more complex than this simplistic view suggests.
While it is true that property values generally increase and rental income can provide stability successfully managing and operating a rental property entails much more. Initially when investing in a property, it is highly likely that repairs and maintenance will be necessary even if it involves simple tasks like redecoration or carpet replacement.
However the responsibilities extend well beyond these initial steps. Securing a suitable tenant necessitates advertising the property, conducting interviews, and showing potential tenants around. Are you well-versed in conducting comprehensive tenant background checks to ensure their payment history?
Uncertainties in the Post-Pandemic Era
Even if tenants initially appear trustworthy you may find yourself with an otherwise excellent tenant who unexpectedly loses their employment, leaving them without the means to pay rent. While sympathy may arise in such cases there is a limit to how long you can sustain a non-paying tenant before eviction becomes necessary.
Regular monitoring of your tenants behaviour and ensuring the proper upkeep of your property are vital tasks. While reliable tenants usually pose no issues in this regard not all tenants exhibit responsible behaviour. In such instances navigating the legal eviction process becomes necessary.
Furthermore a tenant may secure a more lucrative job opportunity in a different part of the country leading to a fresh search for new tenants and restarting the entire process.
