If a problem does arise, don’t jump too quickly to calling your attorney.  Many tenant disputes can be resolved quickly and informally.

Talk directly with your tenant, be sure you both understand the problem, and then propose a solution.  Be sure to document your discussions for yourself.  It can also be a great idea to formalize your discussion with a simple email or letter, just to be sure you are on the same page.

Be willing to compromise a little; it can be far cheaper than hiring an attorney!
