Lease Administration involves making sure that the tenant's responsibilities are enforced as defined in the lease, as well as ensuring that the landlord is in compliance with any obligation set forth in the lease. Performing this task successfully is not difficult; however it requires organization and constant attention to detail.
Here are three tips:
- The landlord must keep proper records and proof of payment to ensure their ability to collect on thousands of dollars in reimbursable expenses.
- Landlords need to have their calendars marked for periodic due dates relating to budgeting, billing, reconciliations, etc. missing these dates can impede cash flow and cause late fees or loss of the ability to enforce certain terms of the lease.
- The landlord may be responsible for some of the property maintenance – be sure that the landlord has budgeted for this expense and is ready to enforce the duties of the other parties in order to keep the property in top shape.
