Keep Your Tenants Off Your Roofs!

A large roof, even a roof over a porch or deck, can often entice your tenants to use it as a gathering space. It's not uncommon in Columbus, especially around Ohio State's campus, to see numerous people hanging out on their roofs. This includes laying out to sunbathe as well as general gathering. More often than not, alcohol is involved.

This is obviously a safety issue, and likely one that is clearly prohibited by your lease agreement. If not, you'll want to add a clause prohibiting anyone from using any space not specifically designed for gathering.

For example, some roofs have decking and handrails as they are specifically made to be.

Master Lock System

Whether you own 1 rental property or one hundred, ensuring you can enter your units when you need to is crucial.

As you start buying investment rental real estate, it's easy to simply keep each home on a separate lock system, categorizing the keys and changing out the locks as needed.

However, as you grow, or if you're a fan of being efficient, you'll want a simpler solution.

We recommend a master lock system for all of our Columbus clients. While we can install virtually any lock the landlord chooses, we can also recommend a system tailored to fit your exact needs and budget.

Don't wait until you have.
