- Get the Inside Scoop Why Talking to Renters is Key Before Signing a Lease

While it is always good advice to go on the property tour the property manager is not the only person you should speak to while you're on-site. Talk to the renters who already live there. They've already experienced what you're about to sign up for and they have no stake in whether you decide to rent or not. You'd like to know if the landlord is responsive fair and takes good care of the property. This is no different than going to a restaurant and asking the neighboring table if the fish was good before you order it.
