5 clauses that must be included in a tenancy agreement with tenants.
5 clauses that must be included in a tenancy agreement with tenants.
The following sections for me are an anchor for saving money and even increasing income and all just from a semantic change in rental agreements.
* If you are an investor, you can certainly contact your management company and require the addition / modification of clauses in the agreements.
First of all, I will tell you that I had assets managed by a management company, but I felt that annual success depended on my control and when I looked at things, I realized that good rent is when tenants are satisfied and satisfied tenants (especially in America) are tenants who receive service and personal treatment. , No?
My investors know, When needed I fix, There is nothing to think about, repairs are in my discretion and yet tenants have a significant part in wear and tearThis triad of interests - investor-property-tenant Anchored in the agreement named there at the top The good of the property, Because it is our tool to generate income and we want to keep it.
So after a decade of renting a property, here are some mandatory clauses:
1. Corrections: Tenant Self-Participation Clause in Every Home Repair. When a repair is required, the first $ 100 will be paid by tenants and beyond the responsibility of the property owner.
2. Penalties for breach of contract: Clause whereby if a tenant breaks the contract, he loses his collateral (one and a half months 'rent) and is subject to the equivalent of two months' rent.
A "hot" example of recent days - my tenants who announced that they were relocating on the job and needed to break a contract. Of course they paid the exit fine. And these are the numbers:
Their monthly rent is $ 1285
Collateral - $ 1927.5
Exit fine - $ 2570
That is - the property owner will be paid $ 4,497 when the tenants leave. We made lemonade from the lemon. Everything is done in good spirits and in full agreement with the tenants, since my ambition is to rent the property to potential tenants immediately before the tenants leave. We do not like unnecessary days when the property stands blank ?
Such a situation increases the annual income from the property.
I am for my investors and for maximizing the deal, it does not conflict with my interest to tenants, because my tenants always receive a very high maintenance property, and receive a management company that is available to them 24/7 (American tenants can appreciate it) and… if you break an agreement, then Pay. In this working model, everyone benefits.

In this working model, everyone benefits.
If so, this is the sentence you need to put into the agreement and make sure that the money for breaking the agreement is actually collected from the leaving tenants.
If Tenant (s) for any reason terminate the lease earlier than 24 months, then they shall incur an early termination fee equal to 2 month rent & Forfeit security deposit
3. Penalty for late payment of LATE CHARGE FEE
Initially, I would charge a $ 50 USD fine. Over the years, I learned that it was not daunting enough and would allow tenants to pay after paying because they knew they would not be charged more than $ 50.
According to Michigan state tenants, rent must be paid on the first of the month, but 5 days late (up to 5) will not be considered overdue for which a penalty will be given.
Today, I recommend changing the clause so that the amount of the fine (after 5 per month) is 10 percent of the rent (average of 130 dollars) and after the seventh day of the month it is a daily penalty of a percentage of the rent (ie every day late will be charged an average of 13 dollars). This way, there is a higher deterrent for tenants and also more income from fines (for others in between). Once again, lemon will become a lemonade.

And this is how this section appears in the agreement: Look for it ...
The Tenant shall pay the Landlord a late charge for each monthly installment not received by the
Landlord within Five (S) days of its due date. The charge after the 5th day will be 10% of rent Then
after the 7th day of the month an additional 1% of rent for each day
4. Ongoing property maintenance:
To agree
Renters are responsible for replacing batteries with smoke detectors
Tenants are responsible for cleaning the gutters once a year and sending pictures to the management company
Renters are responsible for replacing the heating and cooling system filter if needed - including sending pictures.

5. Appliances: In all the homes we supply the electrical products (I have a second-hand supply, visibility and a whole new state (fridge washer and dishwasher). Over the years I learned that electrical products break down quite a bit and a year ago I decided to change the leases and introduce a full responsibility clause I want to assure you that this is a huge annual savings, as the behavior of renters on electrical products has changed and the need for repairs-depreciation.
There are many more, but these are the flags that give us peace, money and money.
Tell me if you helped.

Good tips. Thank you
Thank you tips thank you friend !!
Yaron, first and foremost thanks for sharing and information, is very interesting.
a few questions-
1. Do these conditions not deter tenants? Don't you have any contracts because of that?
2. I guess everyone who rents a property in the US has experienced one for the Eviction period. At least in my experience, I keep the deposit (the last month I charge initially is sometimes used for the month the tenant is evacuated, but it's still a supposed loss, certainly if you add the cost of evacuation). Guess you came across and this section 2 is not included except the deposit, right? I mean you don't chase them in court

thanks for sharing
Unfortunately this fits the population in the A / B areas
I have come across a number of tenants who simply disappear from the property and at best leave the key and let them know
What about insurance? Are they obligated to do third-party damage insurance within the property (or is it covered by the general policy)?

Thanks!
Wow, like a pro! Really, thanks .. Gotta keep it somewhere. Lior, can all these pearls be bundled in the forum somehow? Lior Lustig
Beautiful post.
Definitely helpful tips !!
Thanks.
Nice, the majority is also relevant to our country. Question - Why would a tenant pay a $ 100 contribution for repairing something permanent (e.g. a boiler that exploded, or any construction malfunction related to the building?)
Good tips! Interestingly, the tenants agreed to such an exit fine, including the loss of the collateral. Pretty!
