Letting a property for the first time raises dozens of small questions: how much rent, which tenant, what goes in the lease, who fixes what. The Landlord Setup Plan answers them for your specific unit and leaves you with a simple system you can run yourself for years.
The plan has five parts
Rent recommendation from comparable units, with the reasoning written down.
A pre-letting repair and safety list, plus guidance on photographs and listing text.
Written screening criteria, an application form and reference questions.
A lease checklist covering every clause that matters, and an inventory template.
A twelve-month maintenance calendar, rent ledger and record-keeping folder structure.
Why owners choose it
Most problems in small rentals come from missing basics: no written criteria, a borrowed lease, no inventory, no maintenance plan. Each one is easy to fix at the start and painful to fix in the middle of a tenancy.
The Setup Plan gives you those basics in a form you can reuse for every future tenant. If you later decide to hire a property manager, you will know exactly what good management looks like — and how to check it.
One to understand your unit and goals; one to walk through your finished plan and documents.
Screening criteria, application form, lease checklist, inventory template, ledger and maintenance calendar.
Questions about your first applicants or lease negotiation are included for a month after delivery.
Questions
No. We adapt the plan to an existing tenancy: tidying records, documenting the unit’s condition and preparing a proper lease for the next renewal.
No. We do not advertise or broker. We give you the tools to market, screen and choose tenants yourself, fairly and consistently.
We provide a detailed lease checklist and review your draft against it. For a legally drafted lease, we recommend a qualified lawyer, and our checklist makes that brief quick and inexpensive.
One plan covers up to five similar units in the same building or area. For more varied portfolios we will suggest a tailored scope.
