# Why Landlord Risk Mitigation Should Be a Top Priority

Jun 8, 2022, 12:00:00 AM · felipe

![managing the risk of unpaid rent](https://www.steadytech.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/0f864640-eb4c-4426-9dd3-2d6460395815-1.jpg)

 Owning a rental property can be a sound investment with rewarding benefits like passive income and property appreciation, but it’s not without risks. Irresponsible tenants, unpaid rent and property damage all top the list of concerns for rental property owners and, by extension, for PMs. 

 Landlord risk mitigation should be a priority for all involved in the rental property business, especially in today’s climate of economic instability and with the impacts of the COVID-19 eviction moratoriums still in recent memory. Many property owners don't have the capital to cover costs if a tenant defaults on rent payments, if a property is left vacant for an extended time or if major maintenance is needed. Their real estate investment can quickly turn sour without a steady cash flow in place.      

 Proactive risk mitigation can make all the difference in the rental industry. So, with that in mind, let’s dive into the most pressing landlord risks and what you, as a PM, can do to proactively curb such risks for owners in your portfolio. 

## #1 and the Top Landlord Risk: Rent Non-Payment

 A tenant defaulting on their monthly rent is always a major [concern for rental property owners](https://www.mysmartmove.com/SmartMove/blog/landlord-top-tenant-concern-study.page) because of how quickly it can inflict financial damage on owners who lack a cash flow buffer. This is especially true for [smaller-scale single-family homeowners](https://www.cnbc.com/2020/04/02/coronavirus-small-landlords-struggle-as-renters-stop-payments.html) — such as an individual with just one or two properties — compared to larger rental property businesses.

 Rent non-payment came to a head at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, driving home the reality of the risk for many owners. By January 2021, nearly [20% of renters in America](https://www.cnbc.com/2021/01/25/nearly-20percent-of-renters-in-america-are-behind-on-their-payments.html#:~:text=The%20typical%20delinquent%20renter%20now,includes%20utilities%20and%20late%20fees.) were behind on their rent payments, with an average of four months of missed rent. That means a significant portion of rental property owners either personally experienced missing payments themselves or know someone who did. 

### Rent Protection to Prevent Financial Hardship

 As a PM, there are several tried-and-true ways to find tenants less likely to default. Tenant screenings, credit score checks and income verification are standard ways to ensure a prospective renter can afford the monthly payments and is apt to make payments on time. But, as the COVID-19 pandemic so deftly illustrated, those kinds of checks don’t always hold up amidst a sudden economic downturn.

 Offering rent protection against tenant default is the surest way to mitigate the risk of non-payment for property owners. Rent protection acts as a form of insurance in the case of missed rental payments, protecting both the property owner and the PM from financial loss for a predefined period of time.

 There are a few ways to offer rent protection — either in-house or as a white-labeled solution. Property managers who partner with Steady, for example, have access to two different solutions that remove the risk of tenant non-payment:

- [Rent Advance](https://steadyrent.com/RentAdvance) provides single-family rental homeowners with up to 12 months of rent, cash-in-hand, the day a lease is signed.
- [Owner Benefit Package](https://steadyrent.com/OBP) provides up to two months of rent protection or Rent Advance, alongside valuable reports and legislative updates.

 Holistically, rent protection is a value-added solution that delivers peace of mind and acts as a safety net against the biggest risk there is for property owners today.

## #2 Risk: Extended Vacancy Periods

 As with rental non-payment, an extended vacancy with no tenants can be a significant financial burden for rental property owners who rely on a steady cash flow. And as a property manager, finding a good tenant match quickly is foundational to the business.

 The timeline to find the right tenant depends on the housing market, reflecting the supply and demand of a particular location. In some cities, for instance, a single rental advertisement can generate dozens of rental applications within minutes of posting. 

[Bidding wars on rental properties](https://www.realtor.com/advice/rent/rental-bidding-wars-how-to-win/) are on the rise again in big cities, from Los Angeles to New York — with some properties getting hundreds of inquiries and ultimately going to the highest bidder. In other areas, particularly smaller towns, rental applications can trickle in more slowly and it can take weeks, even months, to find the right tenant. On average last year, about [6% of rental properties](https://www.census.gov/housing/hvs/files/currenthvspress.pdf) in the U.S. were vacant at any given time. 

### Leveraging Technology To Fill Vacancies

 Regardless of whether you’re facing an onslaught of tenant applications or picking through a select few to find the right fit, a simplified, effective application process can reduce the time it takes to fill vacancies. And leveraging property management technology can help do the trick.

 The use of automation and digital tools to support marketing efforts, rental applications submissions, tenant screenings, virtual showings and lease signings collectively work together to increase the efficiency of your PM operations and free up your time to focus on other tasks.

 What’s more, automation and digital interfaces are quickly becoming a must-have for tenants.  83% of tenants, for example, say they [want to pay rent online](https://www.rentdrop.io/blog/surprising-60-statistics-for-landlords-and-tenants-facts-for-2022#Statistics-Regarding-Property-Maintenance). Having a streamlined application process not only sets properties apart for the right reasons from the onset, but it also creates the foundation for a better customer experience for tenants and property owners down the line. 

 When seamlessly integrated with your existing property management software, this technology can add value to your PM services, filling tenant vacancies faster and ensuring their satisfaction so those properties stay filled longer. 

## #3 Risk: Unexpected Maintenance Costs & Property Damage

 Maintenance and repairs are an inevitable landlord expense, but like most costly bills, they tend to crop up at the most inopportune times. The cost and predictability of rental property maintenance vary widely depending on the issue — smoke alarms simply require new batteries, while structural repairs or replacing appliances can run up a bill of thousands of dollars. 

 It’s best practice for a rental property owner to set aside a portion of their monthly rental income as a reserve fund to account for any maintenance and repair costs. A good rule of thumb is to save anywhere from 5% to 20% of one’s rental income, depending on the age of the property as well as awareness of any upcoming maintenance needs.  

 That being said, we know it can be hard for rental property owners to save for a rainy day — especially if the rental income is only covering mortgage payments, taxes, management fees and other fixed monthly expenses. 

### Preventive Property Maintenance

 As a PM, you can take a two-pronged approach to help owners in your portfolio prepare for unexpected or unaffordable maintenance costs. 

 First, encourage the rental property owner to perform proactive maintenance and make the process as frictionless as possible. As noted earlier, leveraging property management technology is a valuable means to improve communication. By using a virtual platform, tenants have an easier way to make maintenance requests and schedule repairs, ensuring that a small issue doesn’t snowball into a more costly repair.  

 Likewise, the automation of property inspections and digital scheduling make it easier to regularly check in on properties and catch issues sooner. This is key to preventive maintenance and discovering any tenant-inflicted damage well in advance of a move-out date.  

 Second, offer upfront rent solutions to free up cash flow for property owners right off the bat. [Rent Advance](https://steadyrent.com/RentAdvance), exclusively available to owners working with a Steady partner property manager, provides them up to 12 months of rent the day a lease is signed. This lump-sum cash payment gives you a way to help owners monetize their lease on Day 1, providing them with liquidity they can tap into as any maintenance or repair needs arise. 

## Manage & Mitigate Landlord Risk with Steady Solutions

 In the rental property industry, it’s often not enough to react to risks. Instead, proactive risk management can make all the difference for your clients and set your services apart in what has become an increasingly competitive market.

 As one of Steady’s partner property managers, you’ll have access to a range of solutions and technology that defend against the biggest risks landlords face, giving them greater confidence in the security and potential of their real estate investment.
