It will also save frustration and animosity for both the renters and the landlords.<br /><br />I had a conversation with a gentleman on a plane trip a while back. We was talking to me about the virtues of owning rental property. When I brought up how hard it was to find good tenants he mentioned of a place in the Buffalo area that did renter background checks, etc. For the overall headache and effort reduction, I'm guessing it would be worth the fee.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5926052286620522481.post-13549755573941917692010-05-04T09:05:55.032-04:002010-05-04T09:05:55.032-04:00I know that our city has many landlords who know h...I know that our city has many landlords who know how to find good tenants, however, this does require work. Credit checks, criminal background checks, and checking with previous landlords will tell a lot about what kind of potential tenant you will have. This can all be done LEGALLY! <br /><br />The landlords that usually complain are the ones who don't want to go to this extent, can't afford to have an apartment vacant, or their rentals just aren't up to snuff. This is a business-businesses do not always succeed. When you can't make it work, then it's time to sell. It's also important to realize that these properties, like private homes, need to be maintained properly. They are not just a money ticket. Part of the rental money needs to be put aside regularly for these type of expenses.<br /><br />I think holding classes to help landlord's learn how to legally write leases that will protect them and their investments will be very helpful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5926052286620522481.post-46453009309607224922010-05-03T20:14:59.778-04:002010-05-03T20:14:59.778-04:00For those who are interested in furthering the dis...For those who are interested in furthering the discussion of the Nuisance Law, please take the time to email me at mccowendr@yahoo.com and leave your contact information. Even though the Law is not in it's final form, we are gathering public opinion and may possibly hold a "Town Hall" style meeting to answer questions, discuss the concerns and welcome the support of such a Law.

I am wondering though..they do not mention how the landlord will be notified and for which infractions. I have tenants and a scannar but am still unaware most times when police visit my places for domestic issues or anything else for that matter. Not that I have ever had issue with drugs or anything. But..I would like to know, will they notify you of every time they go to one of your properties then? Or just when you start to rack up points. Now mind you I am sure this will not be me but just hope they will find a good notification system for the Landlords. I would like to know every time they go to my property no matter what its for, there has to be an economical way and also what about the tenants privacy issues? <br /><br />Just a few questions on this one. All in all a good new law for the people who do not keep an eye on their places.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
