Every one of these is a real template, checklist, or script you'll get on day one. No fluff, no theory — just the actual system.
Most landlords make the screening decision based on a gut feeling after one phone call. This scorecard turns that into an objective, documented decision — the kind that holds up if you ever need to explain why you chose one applicant over another.
If an applicant scores below 5/8, the rule is simple: pass, regardless of how much they seem like a nice person. The math matters more than the vibe. Section 3 covers exactly what to do when a borderline applicant pushes back on your decision — a situation most landlords handle badly...
This is the one situation almost every landlord handles wrong — either too passive (let it slide, set a bad precedent) or too aggressive (damage the relationship, create legal risk). The script below is the exact template inside the manual:
Subject: Rent Due — [Property Address] — Action Required
Hi [Tenant Name], I wanted to reach out because I haven't received this month's rent payment as of today. Per our lease agreement, rent is due on the 1st and a late fee of $[X] applies after the [Xth]. I'd appreciate your...
The move-in inspection is the single most important document in the landlord-tenant relationship. Most landlords skip it or do it informally. This is the exact checklist used on move-in day, room by room:
Kitchen: countertop condition (note any scratches/chips), cabinet interiors, under-sink area (check for moisture damage), faucet operation and seal condition, range/oven surface and drip pans, refrigerator seals and interior...
Pipe burst at midnight. Tenant locked out. No heat in January. This one-page reference card covers each situation in order — what to do first, what rule applies, what to document.
| Situation | First action | Key rule |
|---|---|---|
| 🔑 Tenant locked out | Verify identity first — call back on the lease number before doing anything. Lock failed? You pay. Lost the key? They pay. | Their lockout = their cost. State it in writing after every incident. |
| 💧 Water leak / pipe burst | Shut off the main valve first. Walk the tenant through finding it by phone. Active flow = emergency. $10K+ damage in under an hour. | Active water = go now. Slow drip = assess and schedule. Habitability check required if unit is affected. |
🌡️ No heat or AC — Respond within 24h. Same day if below 50°F. Call HVAC, document every attempt. Heat in winter = habitability. Tenant can withhold rent or terminate in most states if you don't act fast. 🔊 Noise complaint — send written notice referencing the quiet enjoyment clause. Second complaint: formal lease violation letter...
Organized into five operational modules — everything you need from the moment you decide to rent, to the day the tenant moves out.
All templates are best-practice starting points, not legal advice. Landlord-tenant law varies by state, county, and city. Review any lease or notice template with a licensed local attorney before use.
+ 3 bonuses included at launch price · $37 one-time
Your tenant texted about a leak and you had no idea what your legal responsibilities actually were.
You used a lease you found on Google and just hoped it was good enough.
Move-in day came and went with no signed inspection — now you can't prove anything.
Rent was late and you didn't know what to say, so you said nothing.
You're not unprepared — you're just not set up. That changes at launch.
Early subscribers get notified before the public launch — and lock in the $37 introductory price before it goes up.
