Being a landlord or homeowner is not easy: it requires consistency in certain responsibilities so that things runsmoothly. Tax payments, modifications to the flat to leave it in optimal condition to be inhabited and being present atneighbourhood meetings are just some of the tasks that every homeowner should fulfil.It is true that having a rental property means a good amount of constant monthly income, but it can also happen thatcertain problems arise, which you have to know how to prevent and deal with.

Unpaid rent

If the tenant is late in paying, in principle, the most advisable thing to do is to communicate: ask him/her why he/she isnot paying and try to reach a mutual agreement. For example, if the tenant is out of work, we could consider extendingthe payment date by a few weeks.If it happens that he is a repeat offender, it is already necessary to go to court. In order to avoid this, it is advisable toask for a deposit of a good amount of money for several months' rent and cover it with it. On the other hand, rentalinsurance or real estate intermediation services are also highly recommended.
