Philadelphia Tenant/Landlord Laws

[@nickx4475]

This was very informative 😁.

[@shsu7426]

Could you please make a video on whether to allow pets, pet rent? Pet deposit? Also, you mentioned the tenants having a person (guests) not on the lease staying with them, how long is permissible, & what are your thoughts and rules about that? Many thanks!🙏

[@jmr8535]

Good info very good keep it coming.

[@kavisterling7604]

Make more videos relating to Philly real estate

[@HoanZone]

I actually plan to

[@marycelyramos8633]

This is a very helpful video. I know exactly what I need to get started. I also appreciate you providing the information about bedbugs since that is something we don't think about but should but funds to the side just in case. Again Thank you

[@HoanZone]

So much to think about, not much to worry about

[@shsu7426]

Thank you so much! This is exactly the info I needed to rent my place out.

[@CoachMitchellh]

Thank you for this video. Philly seems very challenging for a landlord to get started

[@HoanZone]

It sure can be. Philadelphia is making it harder for investors to do what they do and in the end the tenants will suffer. There will be less investors, meaning less inventory, meaning less competition, meaning less quality, and higher prices.

Thanks for the info, I am in the home repair business in Philadelphia and I am just getting started in the rental market and had no direction and now I do, GREAT JOB.

[@HoanZone]

Glad to help. So much to learn so keep watching more videos

[@googleuser6040]

Well done

[@HoanZone]

Thank you

[@mhsidibe1]

Did any of these changed so far in 2023?

[@davidirizarry6216]

Ty.

[@HoanZone]

Glad you enjoyed the video

[@Xtrndk]

Could you elaborate on wether or not I would need a commercial activity license as opposed to just an activity license? I own a duplex house hack, and another single family rental. Great video, and thank you for the help! This video helped a lot. I can’t seem to find any info on commercial activity license vs activity license

[@HoanZone]

I’ve never even heard of an activity license…. Only a commercial activity license. Is there any reason you wouldn’t get a CAL?

[@dfromtheblock1537]

Great video!

[@footaheadtofreedom1418]

Hi Hoan thanks for the video, I really enjoy all your videos , I’m an investor here in the Philly area and I was wondering if you recommend any company you have used for the lead testing ?

[@HoanZone]

Yup I use a local company for all of my properties. Here is their email [e-mail]

[@lilytran9013]

How about cockroaches or ants? Is landlord responsible for it? Thank you

[@HoanZone]

It's all so tricky these days and getting worse and worse to be a landlord in Philadelphia

[@LoveLondonSweetsBK]

Hi, I’m about to close on a legal triplex in Philly and want to do some some renovations. I was just informed about sprinkler systems if doing a gut reno and the astronomical cost. Do you have any experience or advice with this? Thanks!

[@HoanZone]

Hi Stephanie, my advice would be to figure out the exact cost of the sprinklers and if you actually need to install them. If so, see if your project can support the cost. If not, negotiate the purchase to the point where it does support the additional cost. Let me know how it goes/went!

[@theworkinginvestor]

Sounds like a nightmare to be a landlord in Philadelphia

[@Damir9728]

Cool video, but it made me a bit apprehensive about investing in Philly.

[@HoanZone]

Understood. If you really think about it EVERYTHING has something that makes it rough. Example: a 9-5 employee doesn’t have many worries in terms of paperwork but trades most of their waking hours for money. When you buy a property you have to have these papers in order but you can also hire others to get these in order for you. A good property manager would do it. Now you’re building wealth for the long term.

[@LoveLondonSweetsBK]

@@HoanZone That is a great way of looking at the trade-off between real estate investing and having a 9-5. Thank you for that bit of reassurance. I needed that.

[@HoanZone]

@@LoveLondonSweetsBK keep going after what you want and remember whatever you focus on you’ll get more of. If you focus on the problems and pitfalls that’s all you’ll see and get.

[@LoveLondonSweetsBK]

@@HoanZone Amen to that! Very wise words!

[@dfromtheblock1537]

How do I find an attorney to write a lease? It’s been hard locating a real estate lawyer

[@HoanZone]

What have you tried so far? there’s a bunch around. The other thing you can do is ask a real estate agent for a PAR lease.

[@dfromtheblock1537]

@@HoanZone word of mouth, Facebook market place, even google. No one has gotten back to me. Homeowners association do not supply recommendations. Even sent a few emails. Guess it’s a busy time of year In Philadelphia. Do you have any specific places I should search? Appreciate the help.
