A real estate lease is a written agreement between a Landlord (lessor) and a Tenant (lessee) establishing the rights and responsibilities of each party. The Landlord is the owner of real estate (also known as "premises") who leases (rents) that property to a Tenant for the Tenant's use. A "residential" lease applies to real estate used as a residence, while a "commercial" lease applies to business property.

Ernst Ernst Guide Guide Tax >> Policies- In order to control the first three P's you should have a specific policy regarding everything. For example: You should have a policy regarding what to say and do if a tenant calls and requests a repair. You should have a policy of what is a violation of the rental agreement. By having a policy for everything it makes it easy to determine what has to be done.

Tax Return >> Procedures - This goes right along with your policies. You should put in place automatic procedures for everything. For example: If a tenant doesn't pay rent by the 5th of the month (your policy) you will automatically start the eviction procedure. Your procedure might be, you send them a written notice on the 6th, if no response your start the court process on the 10th (if law allows). You then continue with the entire process that you set-up until the tenant moves out. Then you start a new procedure to rent the property. Every policy should have a procedure.

Return Tax Taking the time up front to plan the five P's is the key to a successful management systems.
