What’s the biggest complaint in renting to students?
Property damage and noise disturbances are the most frequently cited problems in renting to college students. Damage including excessive wear and tear to the property can result from having multiple occupants in the unit and frequent visitors to the property. Property damage can also occur if tenants ignore maintenance issues which could cause major damage at a later time when finally discovered.
A lease agreement should always include a clause that prohibits tenants and their guests from creating a nuisance by disturbing or interfering with the quiet enjoyment of the rental property by other tenants or nearby residents. If the tenant violates the lease by creating a nuisance with loud or excessive noise, you should take action accordingly to your lease terms and conditions regarding disturbances.
