We know that working in the property management industry it’s almost impossible to “disconnect”
and break away for a vacation. But, perhaps this year you can no longer put off
that trip to see Grandma for Christmas, OR you’re finally taking a long weekend
to go skiing. After all, landlords deserve vacation, too!
 |
Before you take a holiday vaca, make sure your interim landlord is prepared! |
So, assuming there is someone that you trust implicitly
being left at the helm, here’s our advice on ways to ensure things go smoothly
in your absence:
1.
Make sure your stand-in has the names, phone numbers
and and addresses every single one of your current tenants.
2.
Provide your sub with an extra set of keys that are
PROPERLY LABELED for each unit.
3.
Leave behind a credit card or some signed blank checks
in the event theirs a major event (i.e. costly repair) that is needed while
you’re away
4.
Send your tenants a letter or email informing them of
your vacation plans, and the name of your substitute landlord, and all of their
important emergency contact info.
Just taking a few extra precautions can ensure you get a
restful break from the daily grind of landlording.
