Greetings to you all.

Sequel to the topic on how to get a good tetant, I think it is needful to highlight on how to get a good landlord.

As we proceed, who is a good landlord?

A good landlord is he who maintains peaceful co-existense between himself and his tenants. And not the one who thinks he is a master over his tenants.

A good landlord glues to his words. Not one that will promise heaven on earth in terms of major repairs or restructures he should do but as soon as money hits his account, he turns a deef hear.

A good landlord is not one who thinks that his tenants are his Automatic Teller Machine (ATM) who would like to exploit his tenant in any available opportunity. Some go as far as inflating some utility bills in detriment of their tenant and increases the house rent more often than expected.

Now, how can you get a good landlord?

You don't have to be in a hurry to pay for the house as some of the property agents will induce you to belief that some other people are hell bent in paying for the house especially when they have seen that you like the house. Take a time and do a little survey. Privately get other tenants or neighbours and have a verification on who and the kind of a person the landlord is.

Make sure the man has something doing to earn a living. Above seventy Percent of landlords who do not have any thing doing to earn an income except the old and retired and sit at home and eventuly rely on the proceed of the rent are tend to be troublesome.

Before you make that payment, endeavour to meet him in person. This will help you have a psychophysical analysis of whom he is. A landlord who get angry over any flimsy provation and looses his temper is not good to go with.

Above all, the best options still remains to get a house where the landlord does not live.

Have a blissful mid week.

no golden rule, get a house were the landlord does not live
