A Basic Guide For Renting Houses By: In today’s recessionary economy, it is better to r
In today’s recessionary economy, it is better to rent an apartment rather than purchasing it. This helps in keeping both the monthly payments as well as the overall cost in control. But there are certain things to be taken care of while going for a house on rent.
The first thing that you should keep in mind is that as a tenant you have certain rights.
- The house that you are planning to rent should be neat & clean. It should meet the local and state codes for housing, zoning, building, and health requirements.
- Appliances such as stoves and dish washers, garbage disposals and other amenities should be working properly.
- Facilities such as air conditioners, heaters, televisions, and hot water supply should also be in perfectly usable conditions.
- All the door & window locks, lights and fans should also be working.
- It is important that you get an opportunity to have a basic walk through of the apartment you planning to rent in order to ensure the quality of the facilities and amenities of the house available for rent.
Reach out to an apartment leasing company and gather all the required information about the apartment that you are planning to move in. Take a keen look at the lease agreement and know all the utilities that you are being provided with. Some community societies charge for electricity and gas also, apart from cable, telephone, Internet etc. You are not supposed to pay for water and other maintenance services.
Never book a house before personally visiting it. Even if it may be occupied, a house owner should arrange for a visit. Have a thorough look around the house and try to visualize yourself living here.
There are different rental plans that vary from landlord to landlord. The landlord will come to your place to collect the rent on the first every month. However, you can ask from your landlord for a grace period that can go up to 5 days. Some take post dated checks for the whole year and the money gets transferred to your account on the proper date.
Taking a house for rent is convenient as opposed to ownership in terms of several factors, including responsibility. The various responsibilities of the landlord, for example ensuring that water pressure and heating remain in working order, are included in the lease. The payment of rates and taxes are also the owner’s responsibility. When a house is bought, these responsibilities will belong to the new owners.(read entire article)(posted on: 2010-03-19)
