Renting Your Henderson-Area Home: Owner Checklist
A one-page guide from April Huynh, REALTOR® and Property Manager.
Ownership and paperwork
- Confirm who has legal authority to lease the home (trust, estate or co-owners).
- Gather the deed, HOA contact information and any warranties.
- Ask your lender whether your mortgage has occupancy requirements.
Insurance and safety
- Switch to a landlord (dwelling) insurance policy and consider liability coverage.
- Test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and replace batteries.
- Check locks, window latches, GFCI outlets and the water heater strap.
HOA
- Request your HOA's CC&Rs, rules and regulations, and any leasing or registration forms.
- Ask about minimum lease terms, rental limits, gate access and amenity transfer.
- Plan to share the rules with your tenant. I do my best to get them to every tenant once you or the HOA provide them.
Rent-ready condition
- Service the A/C and replace filters before listing, especially ahead of summer.
- Check irrigation, desert landscaping and pool equipment, if any.
- Deep clean, touch up paint and fix small items like leaks, blinds and outlets.
Keys and utilities
- Collect all keys, garage remotes, mailbox keys and gate remotes.
- Write down utility providers (power, water, gas, trash, sewer) and account numbers.
- Decide which utilities the tenant will transfer into their name.
Pricing and marketing
- Get a rental analysis based on comparable nearby homes.
- Plan for clear, well-lit photos and a description of the property and its features.
- Think about lease length and a move-in date that suits the season.
Screening and lease
- Use one written screening standard for every applicant, in line with fair housing laws.
- Use a Nevada-compliant lease and required disclosures.
- Document the move-in condition with a written report and photos.
Money and records
- Set up a separate account or ledger for rental income and expenses.
- Keep receipts for repairs and improvements.
- Ask a CPA about rental income, depreciation and any inherited-property rules.
This checklist is general information, not legal, tax or insurance advice. Every home and situation is different.
