Property evictions are unpleasant for both tenants and property owners. Landlords must undergo a lengthy legal process, while tenants may experience extenuating circumstances preventing them from making timely rent payments. How can you navigate the eviction process and take action to prevent it in the future?

Having managed numerous evictions, seasoned property manager Mat Zalk has identified precursors to mitigate the process. Credit scores are the leading indicators of potential delinquency, so Mat advises conducting thorough background checks on tenants before leasing the property. You should also schedule regular maintenance checks and repairs to ensure the property complies with regulations and tenant expectations. Hiring experienced property management companies like Keyrenter to handle the eviction process saves you time and money.

Join Mat Zalk in today’s episode of The Same Day Podcast as Chad Franzen of Rise25 interviews him about how to conduct and mitigate evictions. Mat talks about the types of delinquent tenants and how to manage and avoid evictions.
