I picked up a copy of Every Landlord's Guide to Managing Property by attorney Michael Boyer. it is a Nolo publication.

The good - it's easy to read, practical, gives examples, well organized, to the point, and covers a wide range of topics.

the bad - if you are a landlord and have been for longer than a year then most of the book discusses things you are already aware of. I would say no new ground is covered.

You would think that since he is an attorney you'd get a few legal pointers but he doesn't really say much in a legal sense.

the sample rental application, move out letter, and the other forms are fairly generic.

He gives some pointers on conflict resolution, responding to unauthorized guests, lease breakers, and other landlord situations.

My review is: if you are just starting out it would be a good book to have otherwise you can pass on it.

Thank you for the review.

If he had legal pointers in there, it wouldn't be easy to read. I love examples though.

Bonanza you are right in your comments, for me as a newbie was good, some information I found as redundant but is always interesting to see another point of view ( i have the book).

RB who is the writer of that book? When will be out ?
