#V19  HOME SAFE HOME VIDEO (A Training Video For Your Residents) This video is very different than the other books we offer on MrLandlord.com. This video is for you to provide to your RESIDENTS as a move-in gift. From your standpoint, this video gift may be the absolute best item you will ever give your residents, because it can help protect your investment and save you hundreds or thousands of dollars. This Home Safe Home video teaches your residents how to handle minor maintenance responsiblities and take preventive measures in the residence. Don't take for granted that your resident knows how to properly care for a property. Many do not. Your properties are too much of investment for you to hope or assume that all your residents will take safe and proper care of them. Don't leave it to chance that they know. Give every new resident this video and ask them to watch it! Your residents can view the video at their convenience. However, some landlords use the video as part of a new resident or home maintenance "orientation" and view the video with the resident and discuss the particulars of their specific residence. The purpose of this video is to show residents how to keep their rental homes clean and safe. The tips shared will help keep tenants from bugging you about routine maintenance matters. If you give the resident to view on their own, be sure you have reviewed the tape, so you will know what the resident will be taught to do and what assistance they should expect from the landlord. Once the video is given to the resident, you can either let them keep it for future reference, or you can ask them to return it once they view it. (That way you can recycle it and use it with other residents) Included in the video, here are just some of the important topics that will be addressed to your residents: * Home cleaning tips * Routine Maintenance * Preventive Pest control * Handling minor plumbing problems (and how to prevent clogged drains) * Fire saftey and kitchen maintenance * Use of heaters and appliances * How to avoid electrical hazards * Prevention of mold and mildew * Importance of Renter's Insurance * Property maintenance and how to avoid household injuries * Type of nuisance or illegal activities that must be avoided by residents (and their guests) Thousands of this Home Safe Home video have been distributed through landlord associations, public agencies and property managers in the western part of the United States. The program has been so successful, it has also been produced in Spanish, Russian and Vietnamese. And with the assistance of MrLandlord.com it is now being nationally distributed. This Home Safe Home video is only $19.95 plus $4 shipping. Click below to add this to your shopping cart. For multiple orders, so that you can distribute to several residents, please call our office directly between 10 am and 3pm eastern, 1-800-950-2250.
