In this episode of Your Landlord Resource Podcast, Kevin and I are diving into what it really means to be a “digital landlord.” We’ll walk you through how using technology in your rental business can save you hours each month, keep you organized, and improve both your experience and your tenants’ experience.

From e-signing leases to screening tenants in under a minute, we cover the practical tools that make self-managing easier. We’ll compare software options by breaking down their features, costs, and when each might be the right fit.

We’ll also talk about the real differences between paper-based and digital systems—what you gain in efficiency, what you might lose in hands-on control, and how to find the right balance for your style. Plus, you’ll hear our honest take on what we use, why we use it, and even where we still stick to paper.

Whether you own one unit or a growing portfolio, this episode will help you understand the benefits, drawbacks, and opportunities of going digital as a landlord.

As landlords, navigating sensitive topics like firearms in rental properties can feel overwhelming. In this episode of the Your Landlord Resource Podcast, Kevin and I tackle the complex issue of whether landlords can legally restrict tenants from having guns on their rental property.

We break down state-specific laws, highlight Supreme Court cases like Heller and McDonald, and share real landlord liability case examples. Whether you manage single-family homes or multifamily buildings, it’s crucial to understand how your lease language, state laws, and liability insurance all play a role in your decision.

We also talk through practical lease clause options—from restricting weapons in common areas to setting storage requirements inside units. Plus, we share feedback from real tenants (hello Reddit thread!) on how they feel about gun restrictions in rentals.

If you’ve ever wondered how to balance tenant rights, safety, and your own liability, this episode is for you.

✅ What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Which states allow or restrict landlords from banning firearms
• How federal cases, like Heller and McDonald, influence tenant gun rights
• The pros and cons of restricting guns in your rentals
• Example lease clause language you can use
• Real-world landlord liability risks (and how to protect yourself)
