Attention Property Managers of WA: Don’t Let 2024 Residential Tenancy Changes Catch You Off Guard
With the new Residential Tenancy Act changes now in effect, it’s time to think about how these updates could impact your landlords—and your business. The changes, which now allow tenants to make minor alterations and keep pets in most cases, sound great in theory. But as we know all too well, they can leave landlords vulnerable when things don’t go as planned.
What’s at Stake?
Under the new rules, tenants are responsible for “making good” on any damages or changes to the property. However, in practice, this doesn’t always happen. Bonds remain unchanged, meaning landlords can quickly find themselves out of pocket when the cost of repairs or unpaid rent exceeds the bond. These situations can be stressful, costly, and time-consuming to resolve.
Why Landlord Insurance Isn’t Always Enough
While landlord insurance is an essential tool that we recommend all landlords have in place, it’s not a perfect safety net. Policies often come with exclusions and excesses, which can leave landlords paying out-of-pocket expenses even when insurance covers part of the loss. That’s where we come in.
