Screening prospective tenants is the single most important aspect of the rental process for a Wisconsin landlord regardless of whether s/he is renting out a residential or commercial property. If done properly, screening can save a landlord a lot of money, a lot of time, and a lot of headaches. Setting up a proper and legal screening process, which includes the drafting of a good Rental Application and legal written Screening Criteria, can help reduce the need to evict a tenant, defend yourself against a claim that you violated the Wisconsin Administrative Code's Residential Rental Practices (ATCP 134), defend yourself against a claim for discrimination under Fair Housing laws, and preserve your property from physical damage. Benefits of renting * Renting can act as a source of income. * The property acts as a means of income without losing the ownership. * In hard times, instead of selling at lower rates you can retain the property as well as earn from it. * If you are getting transferred temporarily then renting can be a good option. Once you take the decision to rent out your property then there are two ways to go about it. You can directly deal with the prospective clients. One common example of a lien is a construction lien. When a property needs repair, maintenance, or renovation, the property owner often hires someone to do the work. After the work has been completed, the property-owner is legally obligated to pay for the improvements to the property. The lien exists in order to help ensure that a construction worker can be properly compensated without having to sue the property owner. Your screening criteria should not be subjective. Rejecting an applicant because they give you a "bad feeling" or because you did not "connect" with them will only run you afoul of Fair Housing laws. Your criteria needs to be objective. Federal law contains seven (7) different protected classes and the state of Wisconsin has a total of twelve (12) protected classes. Local municipalities often have additional protected classes so you must check local ordinances. You may not deny an applicant because they are a member of any of the following protected classes in Wisconsin: race, color, national origin, sex, religion, familial status, handicap, marital status, sexual orientation, lawful source of income, ancestry and age (18 years old and over). It can be said that taking service of a letting agent is a better option if you are ready to pay. Property letting as a business is very lucrative today. If you want to start your own business then you have to understand the business first and the market also. Landlords will come to and you will find tenants for their property. The landlord will get rent, the tenant will get a place to stay and you will earn a commission. It sounds simple but a lot of home work goes behind it. You have to start properly with a name, your business must be registered and you have to advertise yourself. You also have to know your competitors otherwise you can't sustain yourself. Your pricing have to be correct otherwise either people will not select you if you charge too high, or else if you charge too less no one will think of you as capable of providing anything worthwhile. For starting any business you have to first decide about certain things. Like, whether you will start alone or with a partner, the initial investment required and the return expected. Unless you are sure about these things you can't handle unforeseen situations.
