For many people in our area, the loss of a home due to foreclosure or short sale is a unpleasant, yet common event. For the first time in many years, or in some cases for the first time ever, people are re-entering the rental market.
- This raises lots of questions.
- How much of a security deposit can a landlord demand?
- What about the kids?
- What about the dog?
- What is considered a habitable residence?
- What can the landlord ask us in the rental application?
- Will they run our credit? What will they say?
We have set up a network of real estate agents and landlords we trust who can provide clean, safe and habitable rental properties. If something in our network does not appeal to you, our real estate agents will locate a property that suits you. We can also negotiate with the landlord, help with the paperwork, and set you up in your new home.
If you are ready to leave your existing home, or if you are finishing a short sale and need somewhere to go, give us a call to discuss what’s available and what you need to do to match up a great tenant with a great landlord.
Please visit our forms section to download our cheat sheet on habitability and our frequently asked questions on landlord-tenant issues. If you have a question those handouts didn’t answer, please call or email us.
