Dear Fellow Landlord,
The holidays are upon us. Are your tenants on the good list or the naughty list? I hope they are on your good list because that means they are paying the rent and behaving. If any are on the naughty list, don't hesitate to enforce the terms of your lease. The holidays should not be an excuse to slack off on the rent, although it is one of the most popular excuses of tenants every year! Remember, it doesn't mean you are a "Scrooge" if you enforce your lease during the holidays.

In this issue:

  • Free Holiday Gift Voucher Download for you!
  • 2010 Holiday Membership SPECIAL!
  • "T'was the night before..." - by one of The LPA's contributing Landlords
  • "Success & Wealth Quotes"

Please e-mail us if you have any questions or would like to add or share any material / information.

Why You Shouldn't Give Presents to Tenants
Give a Holiday Gift Voucher


I know lots of landlords who think it is a good will gesture to deliver a turkey for Thanksgiving or a bottle for the Holidays to their tenants. Please don't get me wrong, but I learned a long time ago that it is not a good idea to get in the habit of giving gifts to tenants.
Many of you know what I mean. Tenants normally think they deserve the gifts you give them. Then they expect them each year. What if you don't give a gift to your tenant after you gave him something the previous year? There may be hard feelings on the tenant's part. After all, they feel it is their hard earned rent money that you are using to buy their gift along with all the other comforts you enjoy in life.

So, if you must reward your tenant for paying the rent as agreed, why not make it worth your while too? Let the tenant earn your gift by paying the rent early.

T'was the night before...

It was the night before Christmas at the Landlord's house, a time for celebration with family and spouse.
The night was so clear the snow sparkling white. It was a wonderful evening, It was a wonderful night.
The Caroler’s were singing, "Jingle Bells", they sang, and everything was peaceful until the telephone rang,
Great", said the Landlord not wanting to go, "I just know it’s a tenant, I just know, I just know!"
And sure as it’s cold out, whenever it snows. It indeed was a tenant, that’s just how it goes.
But amazing enough it was good news not bad. The tenant was happy, they were actually glad.
For they called to say thank you, and to wish a good cheer, to the Landlord and his family, and to have a good year.
Then all of a sudden in his side was a nudge. Wake up you are laughing his wife groaned with a grudge.
You'll wake up the children, dear go back to sleep. And then she was quiet, not even a peep.
I must have been dreaming, too good to be true! That a tenant wasn’t calling, asking "What should I do"?
But it was good while it lasted, it was a beautiful sight. The Landlord thought to himself, as he turned off the light.
Then breathing a sigh, he snuggled back to his bed, As he tried for that dream to get back in his head.

Have a nice Holiday Landlords
