The secret to enjoying a long, happy, and worry-free tenancy is to choose your landlord wisely.

If you give yourself plenty of time to hunt for the perfect home, you will find that there are generally plenty to choose from. It’s probably always safe to eliminate those that are in undesirable areas, unclean, or in poor repair. Narrow your selections down to those that feel right for you, with respect to location, size, layout, finish, and price… and then, check out your prospective landlord.

When you find a landlord who is truly committed to providing clean, safe, affordable housing, genuinely cares for you as a valued customer, and has a reputation for responsiveness – act decisively! Your careful choice of a landlord can make all the difference.
