5 Reasons Why Tenants Move Out

2. Poor communication – great tenants may also move out because they have experienced poor communication from their landlords. Communication can make or break tenant and landlord relationships. As a landlord, it is important that you respond quickly to requests and maintain healthy, consistent, and respectful communication with your tenants.

3. High rent – Depending on what level of income your tenants are making or what their current job statuses are, they may simply move out because the rent is out of their budget. If tenants can find a rental home or apartment that is comparable to yours and is cheaper, they will take that option. To keep great tenants, it is important that you charge a rent price that is affordable for them, yet fair for you as a landlord.  

4. Temporary living – In Redding and Shasta County, there are many young adults and students who come in and out of Redding during the year. While some of these young adults may end up staying in Shasta County long-term, many of them do not. Many of these tenants move out simply because their stay was only temporary and they are in transition. These young adults, who often share the home or apartment with other young adults, may also move out simply because they want to live with different people. If you want to find great tenants that will stay long-term, make sure to ask potential tenants up front how long they are planning on living in your rental home or apartment and narrow it down to people who are planning on staying long-term.

5. Unsatisfied with the home or apartment – Great tenants may also move out simply because they are unsatisfied with the home or apartment. They may have moved in with a temporary mindset because they could not afford the kind of home or apartment that they really desired, or their standards may have changed during their time living in the home or apartment, causing them to ultimately decide that it was not actually the kind of place that they were looking to live long-term.
