Combining a commonsense approach with must-have information, the book gives first-time and veteran landlords smart strategies for:

* Performing background and credit checks * setting rent levels * drawing up a lease * maintaining the property and avoiding damage * establishing policies for pets, furnishings, security, and utilities * advertising available space * working with property managers * dealing with problem tenants and diputes * and much more

Packed with forms for leases, letters, and other legal documents, The Successful Landlord gives readers the knowledge and tools to become successful, high-income landlords.
