Common landlord questions.
Open each item for an initial direction. Details will be reviewed again during the property assessment.
In a master lease, an operator usually rents from the landlord and subleases to tenants, sharing vacancy risk in exchange for fixed rent terms. Management typically supports the landlord after the landlord signs with tenants, handling rent, repairs, and communication.
Not always. It depends on the city program, condition, rent range, landlord expectations, and tenant eligibility. LiangYu can help organize initial conditions and suggest whether to consult authorities or licensed operators next.
Repairs are reviewed by lease terms, natural wear, tenant use, and urgency. Each repair should have quotes and records to avoid unclear responsibility later.
Yes. Older homes usually start with safety, leaks, electrical systems, bathrooms, light, and storage before deciding whether basic preparation or light renovation is needed.
Yes. The right plan depends on property condition, leasing goals, and how much daily work you want to keep, not the number of units.
Confirm service scope, fees, rent and deposit handling, repair authorization, reporting rhythm, termination terms, and whether an operator performing management or master leasing is legally registered.
No. Many homes begin with safety, small repairs, lighting, storage, and listing-ready presentation. Larger renovation depends on budget and leasing position.
Management is usually a percentage of the rent actually received; a master lease is usually an agreed fixed rent (the gap from market rate shares vacancy and management risk); tenant placement is usually a one-time fee. The actual rate and amount depend on condition, scope, and rent level, and are set out in writing before signing — never quoted before seeing the property.
We follow the lease and a reminder process first, keeping a record of every contact and payment, and use lawful procedures where needed. LiangYu keeps reminders, replies, and progress as a traceable record so you always know the current step; for legal procedures we recommend proper legal channels.
It can be discussed. You keep ownership and the decision to sell; but while a lease is in force, it is usually affected by the lease term and related rules (such as tenant rights and early-termination terms). The specifics depend on the current lease and regulations, so it is best to review the contract terms together first.
Rental income is personal income; how it is filed and which costs are deductible depend on the year's regulations and your overall income. The social housing program also has related tax incentives. LiangYu can help organize property-related information, but tax determinations and amounts should follow the Ministry of Finance, the tax authority, or a licensed accountant — we do not guarantee any individual tax figure.
The social housing program has per-phase landlord eligibility, rent, and operator conditions, often with house-tax, land-value-tax, or income-tax incentives. LiangYu can help organize your property's initial conditions, but formal eligibility and incentives should follow announcements from the Kaohsiung Urban Development Bureau and the Ministry of the Interior — we point you to where to check rather than promise an outcome.
LiangYu is a dedicated personal contact and will reply within a reasonable number of working days, using the contact details you provide, with initial suggestions and direction. Scope, fees, and responsibilities are clarified before any formal engagement and signing.
