Negligent tenants can cook more than your goose

National Real Estate Insurance Group’s liability and personal property Investor Protector plan.

The biggest threat to your investment property has always been and will always be your tenant. Every year, over 200,000 homes are destroyed by kitchen fires, careless smoking, and candles. More than 60% of Property claims are caused by negligent tenants, totaling hundreds of millions annually.*

National Real Estate Insurance Group has prepared the best supplemental property coverages for you in the nation. Our Investor Protector plan could pay your loss of rents and repair your damaged property (or reimburse your property deductible) with a $25,000 total limit per occurrence. It’s not unusual to see these losses exceed $10,000 or more. As an added value, this plan also provides your non negligent tenant(s) with $2,500 of personal property coverage, making you a hero.

Take a gander at our Investor Protector plan today! It’s easy, affordable, and provides great peace of mind to you and your tenant. Go to investorprotectorplan.com or contact us at 888-741-8454.

Protect yourself and your property with a Mold Addendum
FREE Form Download

Educate your tenants about mold and mildew maintenance and care. Most tenants don't think about mold or mildew until it becomes a problem to complain about. There are different types of mold and mildew and can usually be avioded with proper climate control and cleaning.

The Mold Addendum will emphasize the importance of avoiding mold and mildew and also places the responsibility and liability on the tenant for damages and expenses resulting from mold and mildew neglect. Signing this form in addition to the lease will place a duty upon your new tenant to protect your property from mold.

Ask the Attorney

The Landlord Protection AgencyThe Landlord Protection Agency® presents John Reno, Esq., a highly experienced Landlord - Tenant attorney based on Long Island, NY.

John Reno also does Mortgage Loan Modifications (Nationwide).
(Mention The LPA for a 10% discount!)

Dear Mr. Reno:
I recently sold a rental property to another landlord. I had used an LPA state of SC specific lease. I passed he security deposit and lease on to the new landlord and informed the tenant. The tenant has not paid November rent and the new landlord is not sure if he can enforce the lease or if the tenant will challenge the lease if he goes to evict. Can they demand their deposit back based purely on change of ownership? Is there an additional language that I should add to future leases on my properties that would make protect me and assure the new landlord that he has an enforceable lease.
Steve in Greenville, SC

A: The lease is enforceable. There's nothing preventing a landlord from selling, as long as the new landlord abides by the lease. If this tenant thinks that gives him the right to not pay, he'll find out the hard way he's wrong.

If you have a landlord tenant problem you'd like to ask a question about, please feel free to e-mail me your question.
Submit a landlord / tenant question for Mr. Reno
Please try to keep your questions as short and to the point as possible.

Credit bureau reporting is an option in which many modern landlords are beginning to participate....
