How can I be a good landlord?

Just return the deposit when they vacate the flat

Always provide semi furnished flats, not furnished. Easier for both parties to maintain.

Always take a copy of tenant's personal IDs and an emergency contact of someone in city+parent.

Always make a proper rental agreement with clearly defined terms. Always declare restrictions upfront, not after they move in. If you don't have a list of restrictions, you should.

Try and take 3 months deposit, more than that isn't realistically required and is a huge burden on tenants.

Provide good furnishing. Then price can be hiked and not feel rip off either.

May I know the rent 😅

Install an AC, please As someone who lives on rent, the costs of civil work to install an AC are prohibitive

Regards, someone who has to use a cooler

1. It's ok for you to have preference - religion, bachelor vs family, pets, non-veg etc. But be upfront and clear about it. Makes it easier for both parties.
2. Deduct 1 month rent and return the entire deposit on time.
3. Don't over invest. Semi furnished is decent.
4. Ensure basic amenities are fine and jump and get civil work done. Plumbing, mold, seepage, etc - get this done yourself. Don't expect the tenant to get this done and deduct from rent, etc.

Treat the other party just like how you would want to be treated in a rented place.

good landlord is like good manager, doesn't micromanage and interfere in personal life.

Just don't interfere in their life, don't ask why do they bring gf/bf, why are they staying over weekend, and shit like that.

Bangalore? What's the total buy value of priority and rental per month ?
