While you may spend your time focusing on the amenities and the location of the apartment that you would like to call your new home, you also have to consider some of the simple steps that you can take to ensure that you are a good tenant and that you and the landlord will be able to get along better and have a good relationship with one another. If you can be a good tenant and the landlord doesn’t feel like you will cause problems, you will find that they come to help you more often, are more willing to negotiate when it is time to renew the lease, and that your relationship will go better than ever before.  

One of the things that you can do to be a good tenant and to make your landlord happy along the way is to make sure that your communication is open and direct the entire time. When there is a problem, whether it has to do with the maintenance or something else, then you need to communicate that with the landlord before things get worse. It is easy to assume that you can just wait on it and it won’t matter, but this can make the situation worse and will frustrate the landlord about it. 

Let your landlord know if you have some issues with your neighbor or a roommate or if there is some other issue that is present that affects how much you enjoy your living environment. You don’t need to go to the landlord at the drop of a hat when something goes wrong, but if it is becoming a problem, don’t wait. 

It is always better to speak up and let the landlord know what is happening, especially if they don’t live on the property and won’t be as familiar with what is going on. The best tenants are the ones that don’t bring along a ton of drama with them. Being open to communicate about things, more as information rather than complaining, shows that you want to focus on some of the solutions, rather than causing more problems.
