artin Fajardo, a seasoned broker and property manager, recently discussed the importance of balanced lease agreements in his "Keeping It REAL-TOR" segment. A well-crafted lease agreement is essential for protecting both landlords and tenants by outlining clear expectations, reducing misunderstandings, and safeguarding their interests.

    Fajardo emphasized that key clauses such as maintenance responsibilities, late fee policies, and property usage restrictions should be included to prevent disputes. He also addressed common concerns about the cost of hiring a property manager, noting that it's more affordable than many realize. Innova Property Management offers zero start-up fees and competitive 7% management rates, making professional management accessible for small landlords.

    Managing a property on your own can be time-consuming and stressful, so Fajardo recommends hiring an expert to handle day-to-day tasks. Innova's services include three interior inspections annually to ensure properties are well-maintained. For more information, visit innova-pm.com/pricing.
