Things to Check in Schertz

If your home is in a subdivision with an HOA, read its deed restrictions for leasing rules such as minimum lease terms or tenant registration. The owner answers for a tenant's violations. Because Schertz reaches into Guadalupe, Comal and Bexar counties, ask your CPA how rental income and property taxes work for your specific home. Switch your homeowner's insurance to a landlord policy before a tenant moves in.

If You Are Leaving on Orders
