You are entitled to a tax deduction for the entire cost of landlord insurance for your rental property. Renting out real estate is considered a normal business expense by the IRS

Landlord insurance policies generally cost about 25% more than homeowners policies for the same property. Compared to homeowner insurance, this might seem like a large price increase. Nevertheless, insurers can deny your claim if you rent out your property and do not have the appropriate insurance coverage provided by landlord insurance.

Homeowners Insurance The policy covers your primary residence, personal property, liability, and a few other things. ‍ Landlord Insurance This policy applies to property owners who plan to rent out their homes, apartments, or condos for an extended period and covers damages including fires, burst pipes, and some natural disasters. A landlord's insurance policy will also provide liability coverage if a tenant or guest sues and the landlord needs to pay legal fees or medical bills.

As long as the property is your primary residence, you will need homeowners insurance. If you rent it out, you need landlord insurance.

An insurance policy for a landlord covers a variety of situations, such as paying for the replacement cost of a building in the event of a fire as well as legal fees if the tenant sues. An insurer will provide funds based on the amount of coverage selected by the landlord, provided it is considered a covered loss.

Most first-time rental property owners will debate whether or not they need landlord insurance. This type of insurance is often required by lenders before lending money to purchase a rental property.

It is essential for landlords to carefully consider all the options available for protecting their rental property and their income, which will almost certainly require a different kind of insurance than a typical homeowners policy. Landlord insurance, also known as rental property insurance, is an essential investment for property owners, whether they are considering a series of short-term rentals for a single family unit or long-term rentals for a large apartment building.

Our answer is absolutely. 84% of Colorado renters have pets, so its a huge chunk of the potential prospect pool. Even if you create a limitation on the numbers of pets, size of pets or breeds, that is better than having a hard no. Allowing pets will help to get your property rented faster.

No, rent by the room has been around for quite some time. we often do have landlords reach out to us to help fill a vacancy, or because they're having issues between roommates. By doing individual liability leasing, you're opening yourself up to a whole lot more stress and complications with having to keep track of each individual person's lease agreement. By doing joint and severally liable leasing, you're able to have more control over the situation by having just one lease to keep track of.

As long as you have a well written lease agreement that clearly defines the terms for entering the property, and you get the proper notice you are allowed to enter that property without their tenants permission.

As long as you have a well written lease agreement that defines the terms for a landlord to enter the property, and proper notice has been given per that lease agreement, a tenant cannot refuse a landlord entry.

In our opinion, no. There is much more stability and less risk for the landlord if you have a long term lease agreement. We typically recommend having that lease in place for about 12 months.

The most basic obligations of tenants are to pay rent on time, and to follow the lease terms in Colorado. Residents are also required to keep a clean and sanitary home, as well as to respect the quiet enjoyment of the property for any other residents on the premises.

Colorado can be considered a landlord friendly state, because evictions for unpaid rent are generally resolved faster than in other states, and in Colorado, you don't actually have to provide advance notice to enter the property.

No matter what tenants think or believe they cannot refuse a landlord's entry to the property if all legislative requirements have been met. However, if the tenant is being aggressive or physically blocking entry to the property, it is in the landlord's best interest to leave the property.

The Colorado Housing Market is super strong, and it's a very desirable area to live. However, in most populated areas with lots of diverse properties, and the most popular places to live, would be Aurora, or Collins, Denver and Colorado Springs.

No. Either the landlord or the tenant is responsible for the maintenance cost. Tenants are responsible for any costs associated with misuse, abuse, or negligence. Whereas the landlord is responsible for any costs associated with normal wear and tear.

Are you looking to make long or short term gains? Do you have the capital in place to be able to cover large or small maintenance expenses? Is the property in a rent-ready condition? Is it safe for a tenant to move into?

Colorado law requires a 30-day notice before the lease ends for tenants to vacate the home. However, it is good practice to provide a 60 day notice to vacate. This gives you plenty of time to prepare to list the property again. Giving a 60-day notice will also give the current tenant plenty of time to find their next home.

Colorado law requires a 30-day notice to vacate for tenants. However, it’s a great idea to give a 60-day notice. This allows ample time to prepare the property for going back on the market. Therefore this also gives the existing tenants enough time to find their next home.

The Order is not a complete moratorium on evictions. Non-monetary lease violations are not protected under this order. Landlords may continue to serve demands for compliance, notices to quit for a repeat violation, notices to quit for substantial violations and a notice of non-renewal. Landlords can charge tenants late fees, penalties, or interest for nonpayment of rent. Tenants are still obligated to pay rent and comply with their leases.

Property walk throughs help ensure that your property stays in the right condition. It’s recommended to do a property walk through before a tenant moves in and after a tenant moves out. It’s important to take photos at these walk throughs. If you need to retain some or all of a security deposit to remedy damages at the property.

Unless there’s a threat to health or safety, a landlord cannot typically dictate how clean a tenant keeps their property.

There are several factors that contribute to a great rental estimate, including the property size number of bedrooms and bathrooms, the overall total finished square footage, the location condition, and finishes. I like to take a look at properties that are also currently listed on the market to see what they’re listed for, how long they’ve been listed and how much interest they received during their time on market.

On average rent can typically go up anywhere from 3-5%. Of course, this can change depending on where your property is located, market conditions, and seasonality. But you can pretty much count on a 3-5% increase in rent.

Yes. If there are excessive wear and tear to the walls. If there are scuffs on the walls, excessive nail holes damage in the form of chipping. Or if they were painted another color by the tenants and not painted back to the original color. A landlord can use funds from the security deposit to paint the walls, back to their original condition.

If the tenant refuses to vacate the apartment at the end of their lease, there are some steps that must be followed. This ranges from giving you a notice to vacate at your door, to proceeding with an eviction.

Well, if the tenant refuses to leave and overstayed their welcome, there are a few steps you can take to removing them from the property. First, it starts out with some postings and then it can go down the eviction route

Well, under the current circumstances, things are just a little bit different than what they normally are. Right now, there is an executive order from Governor polis, as well as the CDC order that is allowing tenants to stay in properties and not pay rent.

The first step is to post the property with a demand for rent or compliance, whatever the issue may be. There is usually a set amount of time in which this needs to be remedied. If it is not, then you can move forward, with filing the eviction with the courts.

The answer is no. It is the responsibility of the tenant or owner to cover maintenance costs. Tenants are responsible for maintenance related to misuse, abuse or neglect of the property and the owner is responsible for maintenance costs associated with normal wear and tear.

Tenants prefer professionally managed properties for a multitude of reasons. Some of which include better communication, a dedicated after-hours emergency maintenance line, and the comfort of knowing that their professional property manager knows how to follow all of the landlord laws.

Absolutely. A property’s managers job is to reduce liability mitigate risk, maximize your rental income, and provide peace of mind.

When renting out an apartment, there are some important questions that you’ll want to ask. Most of these questions can be answered by conducting a thorough screening of these prospective tenants. This includes background checks, employment verifications, rental verifications, and credit checks as well.
