TOP Common Mistakes Made by Self Managing Landlords

Security Deposit Violations

Mistake: Mishandling security deposits by either not placing them in a government backed deposit scheme or failing to provide prescribed information.

Improper Lease Agreements

Mistake: Using a generic lease agreement that may not comply with the Housing act.

Compliance Risk: Missing critical clauses, like those regarding security deposits, maintenance responsibilities, or notice periods, which can lead to legal disputes and in ability to evict tenants.

Non-Compliance with HHSRS Guidelines
