Look at the maintenance log. If there isn’t one, this is not a good sign.

Check out the collections history file.

They should be collecting 90 percent of rents due by the 15th of the month, and closing their books by the end of the month with only 1 to 3 percent of the rent outstanding.

Ask what is the average tenant turnover. It should be around 40 per- cent or less of the property every year.

The higher it is above that figure, the more tenant retention programs you’ll need.

Walk the property. See whether the hallway walls are clean. Cobwebs, trash, and abandoned couches or mattresses are all negative signs.

One of my favorite questions is: What is your tenant retention policy? What I’m really asking is: What are you doing to keep the current tenants happy and staying in the property?

It’s important to minimize turnover as much as possible.

Tip: Keep grammatical structures as simple as possible

Use passive forms In formal writing such as an IELTS examination it is almost always best to use passive forms. The over use of first person makes essays seem informal and is a style that is most commonly adopted by children. It is acceptable to use the first person, but it should be understood that using the first person is a literary device designed to draw the reader closer to the writer. If first person is used, it should be used rarely.

The environment is very important to us because it provides many of the things that we need.
