Being Good to Tenants

One lady who came to one of my recent seminars has this tip for being good to tenants.
If they leave the property it in the same condition as they found it she pays a £100 bonus and interest on their deposit.
She finds this is a nice incentive to them to keep the home in good shape with the view that it will pay off when they leave.
Another thing she does is to send a birthday card on their birthdays and a welcome to their new home on arrival. This would normally be a bottle of wine and a couple of nice but cheap glasses in case they do not have any (as unpacking is not the first thing they wish to do as they enter the house.)
She finds that treating tenants this way leads to few problems with them.
I'd agree. Thanks to Jayne for that tip.
