~If you’re
thinking of leasing soon, here are a few things to consider before you begin
your search:
Most landlords
will not hold a property for longer than 2 to 3 weeks. If your move date is not for another month or
longer, please keep in mind that any
properties you go out and view now might not be available when it comes time to
actually sign a lease. I always advise my
clients to review properties online to get an idea of what they will get for
their price range, etc., but not to
physically go out and view them until about 30 days before.
If you
have pets, be sure to let your Agent know this.
Aggressive breeds are harder to place, so keep this in mind as well.
The
ideal tenant should have a monthly income of three times the amount of the rent
and should have current rental history with no late payments or broken leases.
Most
properties will require an application fee up front (usually anywhere between
$35 to $50 per applicant) and the security deposit up front as well, which is
usually equal to the first month’s rent.
If you have pets, there will be a pet deposit as well.
These
are just a few things to consider when preparing to lease. If you have any questions, or would like some
additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me!
