We've all heard of landlords doing dumb things, here are 10 of them. I know there are more.
1 - Not screening the tenant
Did you get your tenant to fill in an application form, did you call references, do you know if they are really working? Do you know anything about the person who is going to be living in your property? Make sure if you get the information to follow through with it and check. Just because it's written down doesn't make it true.
2 - Disorganised chaos
Are you a landlord who doesn't call back tenants because you can't find their name or number which you wrote down somewhere but can't remember where you put it? Use your Smartphone to organize yourself, or Evernote or some other system.
