1. Go Paperless

Ditch the mailed bills and 12-page, hard copy contracts. You can save hundreds per year just by using paperless billing and lease agreements. This eliminates the hassle of filing papers, and it reduces the amount of wasted paper used in the office. 

Going paperless isn’t as easy as it sounds. It can be difficult to create an online rental agreement that meets your needs and is legally approved. That’s when it’s a good idea to use a real estate tool such as the highly rated Housing.com, which can help you form an online rental agreement without hassle. These kinds of tools are useful in making a stress-free environmental transition.
