THE ULTIMATE

LANDLORD GUIDE

INTRODUCTION

Finding and placing a good tenant is quick and easy, right?

Well not always, but doing it right is definitely the place to start. We at Etchells & Young
have decided to share what we have learned over the last 15 years, dealing with both
landlords and tenants, and to provide really valuable input that any landlord can
immediately use. We have built our success on the principle that correctly screening and
placing only good tenants prevents a whole array of problems down the line. But it does
go further than that too.

Doing all you can to build and nurture a good, rewarding relationship between landlord
and tenant will make it so much easier to resolve inevitable issues that creep in when
people have different objectives during the renting process. You want a Return on

Investment and your tenant wants to create a comfortable and happy home for his family
over the next year, or few years. We hope that you will find this information valuable and
wish you all the very best in finding and placing your next quality tenant.
