1.
Ask
questions of the landlord or property manager. Be friendly when asking how long did the
previous tenants live at the property and how long were the ones prior to
them? This shows the possibility of a
landlord that is difficult to work with.
Ask how long he’s been a landlord or property manager, and who is
responsible for repairs and if the landlord is who will be taking care of those
repairs.
2.
Check property records. You have to know who you will be leasing
from. A property management company is easily checked into but what
if the landlord is a private owner?
Also you can check out your landlord at checkyourlandlord.com. Make sure the property is not at any risk of
going into foreclosure or bankruptcy.
3.
The best way to be more
confident about your move is to visit
with the neighbors. They will give
you lots of information. Ask questions
such as: Is this person the actual landlord?
How are repairs done and are they done in a timely manner.
4.
Take a drive by other properties
owned or managed by this person or company.
If the property looks as good as the place you are wanting to rent and
all other information regarding the landlord looks reasonable you should be
comfortable in making your renting decision.
Don’t
feel pressured to sign onto a property.
It only takes a few minutes to review the landlord and any reputable
landlord or property manger will understand and are able to wait a couple of
hours for your rental application. Besides, you, as the prospective tenant, are
required to wait for the landlord to check into your background it’s only reasonable
for you to do the same.
