Think your lease protects you? Only if it includes the right clauses. Over the years, I’ve learned that a strong lease can prevent more problems than it solves after the fact. In this video, I cover five clauses I rarely leave out, including early termination, guest policies, smoking, appliance responsibilities, and maintenance appointments. These simple provisions have saved me countless headaches, protected my rentals, and set clear expectations from day one. If you’re a new landlord, this is one video you’ll want to save. #LandlordTips #RealEstateInvesting #RentalProperty #PropertyManagement #BeginnerInvestor
