It takes time and great effort to find the right apartment. Once you have landed your catch, you will want to stick around for good. One effective way to ensure that you can stay for as long as you please is to establish good relationship with your landlord. Creating a pleasant bond with your landlord helps make the relationship last a long time. Here are a few tips on how you can go about it:
1.
Be honest
When honesty is evident in a tenant-landlord relationship, trust is established. Before signing a lease, be sure to ask questions and discuss terms you may not understand. Clarifying issues and concerns prior the lease helps prevent misunderstandings that could lead to arguments.
If something gets damaged, tell your landlord right away. He may not be too happy about it but your landlord will surely appreciate the fact that you took the courage to come forward.
2.
Take good care of the property
Be sure to regularly clean the interiors as well as the exteriors of the property. If some items need fixing, take the initiative to repair them yourself. Repairs can be a good way to renegotiate your payment terms in the next few years.
