Rental Budget

No matter how we look at it, the relationship between a landlord and a tenant will always revolve around two things; money and property. In definition, the relationship seems simple enough — pay rent to the landlord, and you don’t get kicked out. Easy enough, right? Well, not really. You see, a lot can go wrong when it comes to money talk, like an emergency, or a natural disaster or the tenant overspent their income on fashionable clothes and forgot to budget for the rent. So, what could be the solution? As mentioned before, proper rental budgeting (i.e., making sure you reserve a portion of your income for the landlord, so he doesn’t send you packing) is helpful when you want to keep a roof over your head. Good rental budgeting templates also help landlords keep track of their tenants’ activities to see who’s really paying their dues.
