GET THE TENANT TO SIGN THE TENANCY OR LEASE AGREEMENT BEFORE YOU HAND OVER THE PROPERTY TO HIM

There’s one mistake property owners/Landlords/Landladies make in tenancy relationships.

Allowing the seeming sincerity of a new tenant influence him against getting the tenancy or lease agreement signed, or letting some other factors make him or her delay the signing.

If this happens before possession of the property is given to the occupant, just know that you have made a very terrible mistake.

The thing is, most of the issues that arise and the mistakes made before involving a Property Lawyer are indeed preventable. Bear in mind that there are certain thorny legal issues that a Property Lawyer can hardly sort out, not because the Property Lawyer is incompetent, but because it has gone beyond legal repair.

In that case, the property owner can’t get out of it without getting his or her fingers burnt.

So to avoid these bad outcomes, ensure you and the new tenant sign all the relevant columns of that lease or tenancy agreement before you hand over your keys to the tenant.
