Emphasis is on tenant management and complying with the many often-complicated legal requirements. The practical advice, especially when it comes to handling tenant evictions for nonpayment of rent and other reasons, is excellent. The authors counsel that eviction should be a last resort, but they don t shy away from emphasizing the details and how to avoid problems. They even suggest that paying a troublesome tenant to move out can be cheaper than a court eviction. One of the best chapters deals with fair housing and avoiding illegal discrimination.
Emphasis is on complying with federal and state anti-discrimination statutes.
For example, refusal to rent to an unmarried man and woman is illegal in some states. But the authors caution how to handle delicate situations like that, which could violate laws in other states. This well-written guidebook for landlords provides practical reading in a format that is enjoyable and easy to understand. The topics thorough and practical coverage is especially valuable. On my scale of one to 10, this excellent book rates a solid 10.
