Whether or not the owner pays for the water at the rental home or is paid by the tenant an explanation of appropriate water usage should be determined.
Many renters are uninformed and uneducated as to the best times and amounts to water their lawn or flowerbeds. It is the responsibility of the property manager to explain the correct manner for maximum results without being hit by skyrocketing cost.
If you are in doubt as to the best way to water your property, consult with your local water department. Their office can give you the best advice for your area taking into account temperature, soil type and varying watering techniques.
Your local water company will also come to the property and test your sprinkler system to assure the tenant isn’t watering too much. They can measure the output and you will be able to adjust the timer for maximum efficiency at minimum cost.
Be aware, when landscaping your property check with your local nursery for drought resistant plants and other types needed a minimum amount of water.

Making Extra Income
You are looking to remodel your current home or property to create additional income. Generally, zoning authorities and subdivision stipulations are set up to be very cautious when reviewing such additions to a property.
Here are a few things to consider when seeking community approval.
1. How will the additional traffic affect the neighborhood as a whole and more importantly, on the block of our location?
2. Where will the parking be located and how will it affect my immediate neighbors and the appearance of the street?
3. If the addition is to my home how will it affect my residence and street view?
4. If the addition is a separate apartment or bungalow how will a new residence affect my current residence?
5. The cost of the completed project versus the potential rental income. How do they balance? Is this project cost effective?
6. How will the results of such a project affect the property for resale?
When reviewing these options for a remodel, it will become more apparent what the effect of such a project will have for you and your neighborhood. Be sure to evaluate the pros and cons prior to jumping into a remodel project. Consult a qualified Realtor and property manager, as well as, a real estate attorney with any questions and their advice will assist in all of your decisions for becoming a landlord.

LOCKSMITH
When renting a new home whether it be newly built or a residential rental home or apartment home make sure your locks are rekeyed. You’re Realtor or Property Manager should have rekeyed the door locks after the previous tenant vacated, but to be sure, this very important job is completed, contact a locksmith and do the job yourself. Be sure to have the locksmith rekey the current locks and make additional keys for the property manager. If you neglect to give news keys to the property manager the responsibility for the cost to rekey the property a second time could easily be yours.
Property Managers are to rekey their properties every time someone moves out but many don’t due to the expense. Tenants should take on this task to reassure themselves it has been done. Providing the manager new keys, as well, is a very minimal cost.
Look through the phone book for a local locksmith or ask your new neighbors or property manager for their recommendation; it’s worth every penny for the added security.

Search and Research
So you are ready to move into your own place. First, you will need to decide where you’re going to live. Here are some considerations that should be taken into account. Distance from work, school, church, family, friends and the cost of commuting versus convenience to your favorite locations.
First, the distance between your prospective rental home and where you work is very important. How do you plan to get to and from work? Will you be walking, biking, riding the bus, car pool and how long of a commute are you willing to make? What amenities are in the area and are they safe and reliable?
When first visiting a potential apartment or house, notice how it feels. Are you comfortable outside, as well as, inside? Is the neighborhood clean and well maintained? Speak to the landlord and any neighbors to gain more insight into the area. Do your homework and feel comfortable about your new home.
Spending time doing some research will pay off with staying longer at this rental property and be much happier living there too.
