How to be a Good Landlord at Brooks

Brooks Tower is a community of owners and renters. As a landlord, you play a big part in ensuring the continued quality of life we all enjoy – including your tenants, everyone else's tenants, and your fellow owners.

As a landlord, you already know that the Declarations require you to provide your leases to the management office (and that the Declarations don't allow short-term rentals). But don't forget that you are responsible for your renter's behavior – which means everything they do (including damaging public spaces, breaking rules, etc.) will be exactly as if you did it yourself.

So, it's in everyone's best interest to take this seriously and do what you can to make your renters feel like this is THEIR home too.

Introduce Your Tenant to Brooks Living

Helping your tenant get connected with their new home is good for them and for you. Here are some steps you can take to introduce your renter to life at Brooks. (Pro Tip: Please don't offload these tasks to the front desk. They don't like it and it's not their job.)

• Enroll your tenant in Concierge Plus to ensure they get all communications and packages. Don't forget to add their email and phone numbers!
• Tell them about how to book the elevator, see the calendar for activities, and set up allowed visitors to the unit, using Concierge Plus.
• Tell them about the Luxer locker system.
• Introduce them to their neighbors.
• Tell them about all the great events our social committee puts on like Bingo, Pool Parties, and Movie Nights.
• Tell them about this amazing blog!
• Invite them to the Brooks Tower Facebook group, where they can meet people and find out about things going on around the building.
• Make sure they have a copy of the building rules (which can be found here on Concierge Plus).

Brooks Tower is Special

Your renters may have never lived in a building from 1968. They won't be familiar with our building-wide heating and air conditioning systems or the fact that odors can move through the walls and under the doors. Take some time to explain how the building works, so when they find themselves encountering their first neutral mode, they won't be surprised.

Denver Rental Property License

Don't forget that residential property in Denver requires a rental property license. All properties must be licensed by 2024 and if you own more than one property, a license is required now.
