Avoid common Rent- to- own mistakes?

Moving into the house and after that working for the initial installment – A comfort offered to common laborers individuals! Begun some place in European mainland, and now lease to-possess works for ongoing properties grin

Considering skipping normal lease to-claim botches! How pleasant it's to move into a private property without investing months sitting tight for home loan authorize.

Never sign the agreement without an attorney

Not all lease to-possess contracts are the same. Some of them sign a lease to-possess for a long time.

Enlisting a lawyer to look at for UNCLEAR TITLE does worth one's opportunity and cash. Living in a property for three to four years paying rent in immense figures, until the occupant purchases the property is not as simple as it appears.

They move in simply in the wake of paying "choice cash", which goes up to 7% (varies as per state directions). Additionally, a lawyer might discover, if the property has a current home loan or expenses in due (Income charge, property assess).

Lease to-Own doesn't occur with Encumbrance

Paying special mind to ENCUMBRANCE – a typical case with dealers. It's impractical to go ahead with the choice, when there's an encumbrance. Indeed, if the purchaser will pay the "choice cash", it's impractical for the purchaser to assume control over the property if there's a current home loan, advance or easements.

Aside from the initial two states, "easements" play the greater hazard.

*Easement – The person who guarantees that he has the sole responsibility for property.

Vender's terrible money related position

Indeed, even if there should arise an occurrence of lease to-possess, a beware of dealer's money related position is required. Looking at his/her monetary position is great. Terrible financial assessments wouldn't help at any rate.

Lease to-possess accompanies home examination

Who thinks about investing energy and cash on home assessment? Imagine a scenario where the purchaser will wind up with doomed costly repairs. Checking physical state of the house somebody will lease is a thumb run the show.

Living in Denver – Surviving the sky-high rent!

Denver is unarguably the hottest realty market in Colorado, if not the entire west! Property prices are an all-new high as home and rent values keep spiraling out of control in the locality. Home prices are up by a whopping 14.5% with the average as high as $326k! Such high prices not only affect the home buyers and investors but also people who live for rent.

Rent rates have shot up too from $700 for a 700 sq. ft apartment to as much as $1200! This price hike within a span of just two years means that it is not in sync with the inflation based on which most salary appraisals are based upon. The average household income in the state of Colorado has risen by only 2.6% which validated the above statement.

There are many young adults in the locality who prefer to buy a home instead of renting one due to the atrocious rent costs. However, one must take into consideration the interest costs that will mount onto the mortgage loan amount. This is why people here prefer to share accommodation.

A smarter option would be to migrate to the suburbs where it is still affordable. The urban suburbs, as they call it, must be a better option for realty investment for young families looking to settle in Denver. Locales like Stapleton also offer good business opportunities and hence would be the right way to go. 

There is a constant shift of people in the US. Young aspirants keep shifting their residence in search of better job and life opportunities and the rent market reflects just that! An estimated 43 million renters spend in excess of 535 billion dollars on rent in the US every year! This is a favorable trend for the US economy since not all the renters are US citizens and the inflow from other economies, no matter how small is an added bonus in an era where policies like H1B are being frowned upon.

A study by top realty firm, Zillow found that a majority of the household that opt for renting out their homes do not go for a renter’s insurance. This is alarming for a country that is so obsessed with playing it safe. Renter’s insurance costs as little as $15/month which is affordable for a majority of the population who are able to afford rented homes in the big cities and towns of the US.

Maximizing your rental space – Bathrooms

Are you living in a student apartment that has a small bathroom? Not every cost effective rental accommodation has an XL sized bathroom with a hot tub! Living in a shared accommodation further complicates the problem. Every person sharing the room will leave their restroom belongings lying around in the same space and it can feel even more congested! Here are a few simple steps to maximize the available bathroom space:

Clean ‘n organize

You cannot renovate your rental space to liberate more space! But you can always find ways to organize to extract the best out of your tiny bathroom. Leaving things lying around on the floor or anywhere else on the bathroom can definitely increase the sense of claustrophobia. Keep it clean and tidy gives it more sense of space. Also, attend to leaks and other small repairs that render a portion of the bathroom unusable. These simple things can make a huge difference!

Smart Décor is the key!

Your bathroom should have smart décor instead of fancy ones when space is at a premium.

Opt for closed toiletries closet instead of an open one, find a corner stand for dry towels and avoid cramping the place with buckets if you have a shower. All these little things will add up and liberate more space and give you a sense of freedom to move about in the bathroom.

Use the hidden spaces

We often overlook places beneath the sink or under the counter. Waste bins can be kept in such places that are out of sight but still accessible. Toilet cleaning brushes and liquids can also be stack away in such corners.

Feeling compelled to make more space? Add some simple shelves or even a rack to get more things onto the walls instead of restricting your movement.

How to handle sharing a room with more roommates

People pick shared apartments just because…they save a fortune. I know that renting out a condo costs a dear. More dishes, kitchen hacks, caddies…what if the apartment is shared by more than four roommates?

Understanding and splitting chores

Say that it’s my turn to clean the bathroom. But, I know that I’m going to get late at aerobics class. Can I keep mum about it hoping that someone else would do it for me?

What else roommate apps are for?

“Hi Jill, I’ll be late. I’ll get back and do the cleaning!”

That would do.

I’m up for compromise? Ground rules talk!

I’m going to fall like Icarus did, if my pride needs the entire cabinet in refrigerator. It’s not just three of them, but there are more than 4 roommates sharing the flat.

There it goes, COMPROMISE! I know that I don’t want to pay a chunky rent.

So, I’m okay sharing! I would never risk it by straying away from ground rules.

A note –lover? Nah!!!

There’s nothing as worse as walking the hall of shame!    

 Rather than leaving notes on empty toilet paper rolls, it’s good to replace them.

Either it’s you or them, it’s terrible both ways. Sticking to the ground rule -- the last one who uses is the one, who replaces it.

Stealing your valuables? Confront him!

Why do we share? It’s just to show the other person that we care for them. Living with your roomies in peace depends on a bit of consideration.

I knew that my food is flicked by one of the roomies. But, I don’t have to be rude about it. I know how it feels to get home bloody hungry, only to find some bones of fish steaks!

We can be subtle about it, when we confront them. Polite conversation with them would do :)

A night owl?  What’s their schedule?

Not in the middle of nightmares. It happens by the time of roommate interviews. However wild we’re , we’re social animals after all. I love reading till 1 am on a Friday.

Still, I cannot interrupt my roommate’s sleep. Running a blender by 4 am in the morning is not a wonderful idea. It’s too good an idea to drive a narcissistic roommate away!

Sharing responsibilities? It’s how things work

My roomie could clean the fridge on one of my turns due to inevitable reasons.

But, I cannot be a slob to let her do it every time in my absence. UCC Student accommodation with all facilities 

How much of a rent raise is allowed legally?

Certain state acts won’t allow rent increase more than 10%. Tenants living in New York may not be able to predict the amount of rent increase as it varies according to the type of lease contract.

I believe that buying is cheaper than renting an apartment. If it’s going to be a shared accommodation, troubles like month-to-month lease come along. Even the opportunities are quite open to save for down payment, whilst compromising on the façade a bit.

I mean a low rent studio apartment.

However, it’s said that unless there’s a limit imposed by the local law, one could expect their landlord to increase it beyond the benchmark, say, 15%.

Fixed term rent agreement –Unless the lease period gets over landlord cannot increase the rent. However, if the contract declares that it could a month’s notice is required.

Month-to-month lease – This is why it’s not a wee to ask the landlord about the contract. You signing a month-to-month contract mean that you might expect the rent increasing on monthly requirements.

A common action it becomes, if the rent is going to be increased by more than 11%.

In other words, we can start our hunt for a cheaper accommodation

Like I mentioned before, buying seems to be better than renting. It’s found that rent has increased by 11% in a span as short as 3 years.

Note: State laws provide varied benchmark for the amount of rent to be increased.

30 days of notice in black & white.

In California the landlord must provide a 30 days’ written notice in regards to month to month lease contract.

Texas alters a bit in such cases. Both the tenant and landlord must provide the notification in black & white.

Off late social media was appalled by a tenant, who gave the shock of our lives. Not a surprise in Bay Area, but think about ourselves landing in a pad that has gone up by 400%!!!

Cities like Seattle abide by SMC 7.24.030. Living in this city it becomes way too easier to find a new accommodation.

I can wait for a 60 days written notice from the landlord. Also, benchmark goes not more than 10% for a year/12 months

Tips to bring down moving costs

Who said it out? No moving happens without costing a fortune. Your pad contains three things – renter’s deposit, down payment (dream home) and then? There comes “relocation coverage “for rescue.

I know how it feels to part ways with broken candelabra! But, are you sure it’s going to be a part of your new home?

By the way, what about the busted arm chair? Bid adieu to the rugged coat stand and couches! There’s always something called ‘yard sale’.

Never ever carry unwanted bottles, just because you’ve lived with them. I knew how much of sadness it causes, when you’ll be charged for boxes filled with junk.

You know your packages better…

I’m not good at packing my boxes in a battlefield. I cannot afford the cost.

It’s just like graffiti—you know what lies in your living room, than the packer guys do. Also, the way you treat your crockeries and kids table is close to your heart.

I understood something important. I was practically relieved a day before moving because my friends helped me out with packing.

Recycling is a fairy

Where are those old cardboard boxes and shoe boxes? This is when, we realize it’s worth to save those good old boxes.

I was well-equipped with tapes, scissors and wrappers. Of course, packers would get their set of boxes, but it’s good to go for own packing to make things easier.

Stressful! Stressed! Ever stressful…

Relocation coverage

Are we prepped up to foresee the damages? By the time, we’re done with packers and movers, we tend to pay, say a ballpark figure of $5,000 on moving costs. Damage of household goods go untold!

On top of that, I got know about this stuff called “Pair and Sets”. A small part of such goods may be damaged, but coverage includes the entire set.

Note: Not that all relocation coverage includes washing machine and iPad! This comes under All Risk Insurance.

What if that beautiful coffee table of yours is damaged on the way? By the way, are you sure that your laptop is at hearth and home, while it’s shipped?

Home Improvements Tips for students

It doesn’t matter how small your rental abode is, you can always make it feel like your home. Most Indian students prefer to share rental accommodation with someone and fail to personalize the living space leading to emotions like not belonging in the place and homesickness. Here are a few simple things that can be done to make your rented house, a home away from home!

Curtains up!

Curtains add character to any room and if the room depends a lot on natural light, it could very well provide a complete makeover to the space! You can’t change the color of the walls but you sure can put up a shade or two to give the room a glow in the shade you love.

Let there be light…

Light fixtures talk a lot about your taste. Any house owner would not object you adding decor to the space as long as it does not need additional hammering of nails or running external wiring over the walls! LED lights do not shoot up the power bill numbers while giving a soothing feel when the sun goes down.

Stow smart

Smart, multi-purpose storage solutions not only help reduce the clutter but will also make it that much easier when you move to the next place.

Corner tables, shelves that extend, smart boards are some of the many things that you can use to be canny in space management.

Throw in some greens!

Plants not only add to the sense of freshness to your room but also gives you a sense of responsibility and can be a good alternative to pets. Make sure you water them and do not let the dirt spill over the expensive carpet!
