Landlods claim good relationships with tenants
Posted on 13th August 2011
A latest study reveals that the majority of landlords claim that they have positive relations with their tenants.
The National Landlords’ Association (NLA) conducted a recent survey which reports that 61% of landlords believe that have a “very good” dealings with the people that rent their properties. 34% describe their relationship as “good”, with 3% choosing “adequate” and only 1% claiming that they have a poor relationship with their tenants.
David Salusbury, Chairman of the NLA, stated: ‘The NLA believes that the private rented sector will play an important part in helping to meet the demand for quality housing in the coming years. So it is pleasing to see that almost all landlords have a good relationship with their tenants and that both parties are content’. One of the most effective ways to promote positive relations between landlords and tenants is to make sure that the tenant is matched with the most suitable property for them in the first place.
Mr Salusbury goes on to say: ‘The NLA advises that all landlords should meet with the prospective tenant, view the property together, discuss the tenancy agreement in detail and explain how and when the rent should be paid.’ Healthy communication between a landlord and tenant can help ensure that both parties are kept happy.
