Landlord Lore: 5 Myths About Renting Out
Your Home You Should Stop Believing
Immediately
By Larissa Runkle
Realtor.com
If you're lucky enough to own more than
one property, or have an in-law unit just sit-
ting empty behind your house, the thought
has surely occurred to you: Why not just
make back some cash by renting out your
place? After all, in a hot rental market, that
should be easy enough—all you have to do is
fi nd a tenant and watch the dollars roll in.
But beware: Whether it’s your fi rst time
renting out a property, or you fi nd yourself
in a sticky situation with an existing tenant,
it can be a challenge to differentiate fact
from fi ction in the tangled realm of landlord-
tenant law.
