Older adults, such as seniors and retirees, can make some of the best tenants for your property investment. There are some special considerations to take when setting up your property rental for older tenants, but the outcome is ultimately ideal.

Don’t be a negligent Landlord/Property Manager and make sure your entry and exit inspection reports are as comprehensive as possible. The Residential Tenancies and Rooming Accommodation Act indicates these reports as essential in compliance with legislative requirements, but they can also be a valuable risk management tool for any disputes that may arise regarding the condition of your property.
Whether you’re a tenant or a Landlord/Property Manager, it’s important to make sure your rental property is up to par when the tenancy ends. For tenants, restoring the property to its original (or even better) condition can make for a stress-free move, particularly when it comes to recovering your bond. For landlords, a clean and presentable rental shows the next potential tenants that you value your property investment so they’re expected to do the same.
Ideally, you would never have to put an early end to a tenancy. However, there are situations that call for such response. To avoid these sort of situations, it’s advisable to be clear and communicate with your tenant. Provide timelines, keep a paper trail, and make them aware of the process of breach in agreement is before they sign the lease. Another way to avoid an early or unexpected termination of a tenancy is to secure the kind of tenants you want in the first place.
