Dorian
What did you learn from Dorian about renting and the application process? What questions do you still have?
I learned that when you have someone living with you, they must be on the lease unless approved otherwise if it's temporary. Also, paying all your utilities and such on time can help your credit. I honestly don't have any other questions at the moment.
So after the guest speaker had spoken. I have no questions. She made it very clear of the steps of how to rent and what to actions to take a house, even what you shall do once moved in and she stressed keep everything and everyone on the lease that are there so that all are responsible to any damage that occurs when you or one other does something stupid Also i had no clue what pro rent was.
Some things I learned is that you gave to turn in a 30 day notice before leaving your residency. I also learned was that if you have a roommate and you both split the safety deposit and you give the your 30 day notice your part of the deposit will still be there until the lease is up. Another thing is every time you have a new roommate that joins they have to be background checked and put on the lease.
A security Deposit is for the renter to pay before renting and it's to go towards anything that breaks or if there's a huge mess at the time you move out. If the landlord or company you're renting from uses your security deposit money to replace and fix things they have 30 days to get the rest back to you or the bill if it was more, after you are moved out. After the 30 days you are able to get the whole deposit back in full. If you and a roommate split the pay of the deposit then you both have to get the check back, not just one.
Dorian helped me reinforce my understanding about leases and having a cosigner with roommates and really specifically answered my questions. My extra question would be if you're buying a house similar to buying a car would there be any unspoken fees until the bill came up?
To be perfectly honest, I don't remember much from short term memories. I do remember learning that there is two types of leasing. Month to month, where you pay and renew the lease at the end or beginning of each month, or the one that lasts for a long time. I also remember that you have to give a 30 days notice if you wish to leave.
Another thing I remember is that if you moved into a place in the middle of the month, some places only have you pay on the first of the next month to make it easier to keep track of when payday is due.
I learned that if you set up a rental for 12 months and you want to move out at 6 months in the future you have to pay for every mouth in tell they find someone new or the 12 months are over. Also I don't have any questions.
I learned when leasing a place everyone who plans on living there has to be on the contract. If one person is on the contract then their responsible for whatever happens. When renting a place you still have to pay the security portion. It helps when someone breaks in and steals things. The objects that were stolen are going to get replaced.
I learned with that talk yesterday is that having a roommate can be a bless or a curse. One good thing is that they can help pay the rent and other bills. One bad thing is that you don't get your safety deposit if you move out until they move out also. Another I learned was that in some places have a pet rent. which could be 25$,45$ or up to 50$. which could mess with your budget.
I learned about the importance of choosing a good roommate and how you are linking your finances to that person so you should be careful when choosing someone to live with. There's a lot that goes into getting an apartment and you should go see the place in person before applying. Dorian said it's a good idea to never submit more than about two applications at a time to save money. You should always be a responsible tenant so that when you leave they have nothing but positive things to say about you and it reflects well on you.
I learned that how long visitors can stay and having some live with you you have to put them on the lease other wise you could get evicted. I also learned a good way of building credit is just spending just enough so you could be able to pay at the end of the month.
I learned that you can not have visitors stay at your rental for an extended period of time because then they would be considered to have "moved in." The amount of time someone may be allowed to stay without talking to the landlord is about three days, although you should tell them anyway. If you have a pet it will greatly decrease your chance at finding a decent rental, and there will often be some sort of extra cost for having a pet. Also, apparently fish are not considered to be pets unless you have an aquarium, and even then they are not a pet, they are a water bed.
I learned that if you have a roommate you have to give a 30 day notice if you are on the lease if you want to leave and if the roommate is staying that person has to make enough to still live there to make their payment. if you do a lease for 6 months and you leave before your lease is over you have to pay all the money you owe for those months
Leases can be beneficial because the landowner can not kick you out due to the binding contract unless you fail to pay. They also can not change the rent if its not on the contract. They can be tricky if you need to move out though. Roommates have both pros and cons. You need to be weary about who you are rooming with because you are depending on them financially and vice versa. They are a pro because they help you pay the bill but if they have a record of not paying on time or aren't as responsible they can be less beneficial.
I learned to always check with your landlord before anything that is out of the ordinary, i.e. having someone stay, pet sitting, changing things, vacationing. Also if you ever find an issue talk to them and report it so that you don't get charged for it. Also always abide by the rules that are listed, don't risk getting kicked out.
I learned that you can't smoke in the house and if its marijuana you can't smoke outside the house either. Also if you rent from a private owner they might not know the laws of house owning and come onto your property without your permission and you can actually sue them if they do that for one months rent for each time they do it. And no more questions
I learned that the most important thing is to stay in contact with the landlord or agency. Most of the time whatever happens in the property will be much easier and less stressful to deal with if you keep the owner informed. I also learned that you can just say no to having the owner in the house.
There was a lot of things that i didn't know or even thought of that were mentioned and there's a lot of things about room mates that i did not know about and how they can impact you. How much that the payment can go for if you move out or want to break the lease or if you move out you might still have not to pay for the place because your name is on the lease.
I learned that when you have visitors, it's best to call the landowner or property manager, so if they get complaints they know you are not violating your lease agreement. There is also only a certain amount a consecutive days a visor can stay, so its best to read your lease agreement.
pick your roommates carefully you don't want to move in with a couple because they can break up and then it'll mess things up. There is a lot of snitches so if you gonna shmoke a little sumthing then don't make it obvious. If you're gonna dog sit then tell the owner. Take pictures of stuff that's wrong with the house before you move in and give the list to the owner so you're not responsible for them.
I learned about the importance of choosing a good roommate if you're going to have one. You are linking your finances with them and you want to be able to trust them. I also learned that there is a certain amount of days in a row that someone can stay the night before they need to get out or be put on the lease.
If they send you a notice for a house inspection you can tell them know but they will find out eventually because of house repair men and tattle tale neighbors
I learned that there are month to month leases, if you are moving into your first place or do not have any renting history you will likely have to get a co-signer on your lease, you can only have someone stay with you whether it be during the day or over night for a certain amount of time, you can not smoke pot in rentals, and that your landlord has to give you at a 24 hour notice before entering the property that you are renting and that you can deny them access to the rental property that you are renting.
I learned that when you sign a lease you can leave but you have to pay to get out of it and you have to give a 30 day notice. They also can't kick you out unless you don't pay your rent. You also have to be aware of who your roommate is or if they can even pay rent on time because they could make it to where you could get evicted. Renting a place isn't only about signing papers its also about whether you can pay on time, how good of a tenant you are and how good of a tenant your roommate is. I also learned that you should try to avoid moving in with couples/your significant other because if it doesn't work out between the couple or with your significant other than you would have to move or break a lease because you can't live with each other.
I learned that you should take the time to go look at the place you are wanting to rent before making a final decision,and when you are looking to rent a place you should apply to no more than three different locations.
I got to learn a ton more about renting apartments and the multiple rules you have to follow while living there than i did in the past. Some of these thing include having to have a 30 day notice before leaving or moving out of the apartment, you cannot smoke, you can get into a lot of trouble if someone or something is living in you're apartments that the owners do not know about, and that neighbors are absolute tattle-tails.
I learned that if you sign a 1 year lease contract and want to move out before the 1 year is up, you can pay to break the lease which can be $500-$1500, but you also have to pay rent until the renting company finds somebody else to rent the space. Also I learned that if you move in with roommates and all pay the deposit, and you end up moving out before all your roommates, you don't get your deposit back right then and there. You will get your deposit back when everybody moves out. And always check the fees needed to move into the rental so you know how much you need. Lastly update your landlord about everything! Being on a good name basis helps build a good recommendation for your next rental.
I learned that some places charge you extra if you have a pet. If you sign a 6 month lease and you decide to leave early you have to pay for every months rent until your lease is up or they find a new tenant. Choose your roommates wisely.
There's a lot more to renting than i originally thought. If you are 18 years old then your name is legally bound to the contract, even if you back out/ move out. I also learned that when you put a down-payment on your rental, no matter how long you stay at the rental, you don't get any portion of it back as long as your rental partner(s) are still living there. This is because the rental company needs to give you a reason to treat your rental with care, so that you can get as much back from your down-payment as possible. I also learned that you need to let your landlord/ rental company know if you have company staying with you, or if you get a pet. This is because it's out of your lease and you can be kicked out of your rental if you break your lease promises, it's also legally bound to you because, again, you're over 18, and you signed your name on the lease.
When leasing from anyone, I learned that you should always inform the person in charge when things break or need repair so that it can be handle by license worker. Also I learned that you can say no to landlords, but if you do it gives them more of a reason to kick you out.
i learned about how much you actually have to tell the person you are renting from i didn't think they needed or wanted to know that much but i guess it makes sense. I didn't know that if you split the security deposit with a roommate if one of you were to move out you couldn't get your half of the security deposit until the other person moves out. also if you break your lease you usually have to pay a fine and you are still responsible to pay for that place while they get it ready and get a new person in there.
During our Dorian presentation I learned that the landowner has the legal right to enter your home. Although you need to provide a 24 hour notice to the home owner, they have said right to search the home if they have reason to do so.I also was shocked to hear the price of most security deposits on apartments;Having to pay the rent plus one and a half times that is a lot of money upfront, yet I was unaware that you were able to get your full security deposit back.
During the Dorian presentation I learned that when you are going to rent an apartment you will have to pay more money with the more people that live in the house. Another thing I learned from the presentation was your not going to be able to bring an animal into the house or apartment. Something that was interesting was that they clean the carpets after each owner no matter how long you stay there and that that gets put on your bill.
I learned about how if your try and leave but your name is on the lease you will have to continue to pay the lease until someone has replaced you. Ad that there are check ins and if you don't reply within a certain time they can take that as yes its ok and will go through your place.You can say no but it might come off as suspicious and you could potentially be evicted. And if you have people over they cant stay over 3 nights in a row i think , its best to let the landlord know if you have guest for a certain time.
From reviewing the other comments I learned that it is best to keep in contact with your landlord especially if there's anything out of the ordinary like a friend visiting or if you're pet sitting. You should also read the lease agreement to make sure you're not breaking any rules. Also the landlord is not aloud to invade the property without your permission.
I learned that 1st time renters must have a co-signer, thats typically a relative or someone close. Also it is a good idea to report anything not specified in your lease or contract to your landlord, for example if you are having a few extra people stay for more than a few days.
I learned that if your young and if its your first time renting that its best to have a parent co-sign. Let your landlord know when you are pet sitting. If you think you are going to get away with something you are probably not they will find out. If you break something or if something is broken already then report it.
some places will charge you extra for a pet and even if it says pets are aloud, some landlords will not allow a certain type of dog or even have you pay above the pet fee depending on the type of dog/animal. ~marissa lyn
You have to pay usually around 500 for a pet but the fees can be refundable. They don't allow certain breeds of dogs. If you don't pay they will come after your cosigner for the money.
I want to know what will happen if your co-signer doesn't have the money either.
I learned that communication with your landlord is the key to success while renting. I also learned that FAFSA students can pay for rent in 3 month intervals which is interesting.
A question that I still have is what do you do if you're only available/willing/in contact relative you have has bad credit/bad renting history?
I learned that some places have a pet limitation of there own style or can be very strict and not at all. But also that the one renting the building can technically refuse an inspection even though it may not look too good from the renter. Does the co-signer have to be a relative of some sort or is it possible to have anyone co-sign.
I learned that if you ever leave make sure you don't leave any damages or messes because you can get charged for that. Another thing is that places can charge you extra for having pets.
I'm glad to know that I can have a snake without much fuss from the landlord, and other smallish pets like hamsters and fish. I learned that if you leave and you didn't stay the full lease that you have to continue paying for it. My question is if someone can stay there for a couple of months without living there do you still have to pay for them staying over?
I learn that if we have a pet we have to pay around 500 for pet. and I learned that when we leave the apartment we have to delete our name on the computer so that they will not use our name on the computer anymore
Complaints can literally be filed just by venting about your neighbor. I mean, it makes sense, but okay. And having your Landlord call someone for repairs is a much safer option, since it may still happen, and end up coming out of your deposit.
Most security deposits are refundable, while some aren't. You will eventually get a report from the people you rented from talking about any repairs and cleaning happened after you moved out. It will have a check if the Security deposit is refundable and their is still money from the Deposit. It will say how much you owe if the security deposit didn't cover cleaning and repairs.
You can still get into a rental even if you have no credit, sometimes if your credit is bad you can still get in if you have a good reference from a landlord that really liked you as a tenant. And you can pay a fine or deposit to have a pet.
I learned that it's better to tell your landlord if there is any problems with your apartment instead of trying to fix it yourself or not worrying about. If you have a lease your landlord has to make sure that your eligible to have the unit by checking your credit, rental and employment histories.
I feel that the speaker who came was very helpful and gave a lot of useful information that will help me in the future when i decide to move out. for example i learned that when you leave a house u must clean it and repair it to the way it was when u moved in or they will take money out of your security deposit to fix and clean the house. I also learned that if you decide to live in a house fort 12 months but leave before your 12 months is up you still haft to pay the rent on that house plus what ever else u are paying.
Not too much but i have a question about my friend who had 24 hours to move out and it got changed to 2 hours idk really know how that was even possible.
If you own a pet you may have to pay a pet fee. If you notice a problem about the house you should let the owners know so that they can fix it at no cost to you, and you do not have to deal with the common problems. make sure to read the entire lease and the fine print. When looking to rent make sure to check if there is any extra costs to live there such as laundry. A security deposit can be refundable if you pay everything on time and do not damage anything.
I learned that most security deposits are refundable, also that even if you have no credit a big thing to get into a rental is what your previous landlord thinks or says about you if you were a good tenant and get a good review from them then you still have a good chance of getting into a rental.
From what I've learned from the guest speaker is that you have to take pictures of any damage or things around the house that needs a touch up before you move out so you don't take the blame for the damages that were there before you moved into the house. it could lead to you being charged money and paying for the damages yourself.
I thought it would be more complicated, yes there is a lot of steps to complete, but they help you through your process so you know what you're doing. Also, I learned that it really is best to be honest and open with your landlord, as long as they're getting paid and you aren't a problem they'll like you.
Landlords will cover any damage not directly caused by you. If you have roommates and one moves out, the rest of you have to pick up the remaining balance of rent. If a roommate causes something to break or breaks a rule, everyone is held accountable.
there are quite a bit of steps that make it seem complicated, like a lot but i don't think its as complicated as it looks or they are making it seem. ~Marissa Lyn
Even if you have an account of any damages from the previous tenant, if you don't ever give them to the landlord you can still be charged for any damages because there is no way for them to know how long the damages have been there. Not many questions I can think of at the moment.
I learned that the first thing you should do after getting an apartment is to take pictures and write down the condition of the apartment. And give the written portion to your landlord to avoid misunderstandings later on.
the guest speaker told us all about rules and what to do and what not to do when leasing and co-leasing and who to pick for that and what to do if you have pets or room mates
when you move into a home take pictures of all the damage, just in case you move out they cant say that you did that because you will already have pictures of the damages done. ~marissa johnston
For people our age, since we dont have any credit build, first impressions are very important. also dont apply to a bunch of places all at once, do a few and then wait to hear back before doing more.

ReplyDeleteDuring our Dorian presentation I learned that the landowner has the legal right to enter your home. Although you need to provide a 24 hour notice to the home owner, they have said right to search the home if they have reason to do so.I also was shocked to hear the price of most security deposits on apartments;Having to pay the rent plus one and a half times that is a lot of money upfront, yet I was unaware that you were able to get your full security deposit back.

ReplyDeleteDuring the Dorian presentation I learned that when you are going to rent an apartment you will have to pay more money with the more people that live in the house. Another thing I learned from the presentation was your not going to be able to bring an animal into the house or apartment. Something that was interesting was that they clean the carpets after each owner no matter how long you stay there and that that gets put on your bill.
ReplyDeleteI learned that if your a first time renter that you need a cosigner and that the cosigner has to be a close relative.
ReplyDeleteI learned about how if your try and leave but your name is on the lease you will have to continue to pay the lease until someone has replaced you. Ad that there are check ins and if you don't reply within a certain time they can take that as yes its ok and will go through your place.You can say no but it might come off as suspicious and you could potentially be evicted. And if you have people over they cant stay over 3 nights in a row i think , its best to let the landlord know if you have guest for a certain time.
ReplyDeleteFrom reviewing the other comments I learned that it is best to keep in contact with your landlord especially if there's anything out of the ordinary like a friend visiting or if you're pet sitting. You should also read the lease agreement to make sure you're not breaking any rules. Also the landlord is not aloud to invade the property without your permission.
ReplyDeleteI learned that 1st time renters must have a co-signer, thats typically a relative or someone close. Also it is a good idea to report anything not specified in your lease or contract to your landlord, for example if you are having a few extra people stay for more than a few days.
ReplyDeleteI learned that if your young and if its your first time renting that its best to have a parent co-sign. Let your landlord know when you are pet sitting. If you think you are going to get away with something you are probably not they will find out. If you break something or if something is broken already then report it.
ReplyDeletesome places will charge you extra for a pet and even if it says pets are aloud, some landlords will not allow a certain type of dog or even have you pay above the pet fee depending on the type of dog/animal. ~marissa lyn
ReplyDeleteYou have to pay usually around 500 for a pet but the fees can be refundable. They don't allow certain breeds of dogs. If you don't pay they will come after your cosigner for the money.
ReplyDeleteI want to know what will happen if your co-signer doesn't have the money either.
I learned that communication with your landlord is the key to success while renting. I also learned that FAFSA students can pay for rent in 3 month intervals which is interesting.
DeleteA question that I still have is what do you do if you're only available/willing/in contact relative you have has bad credit/bad renting history?
I learned that they can raise your down payment if they don't think you're that trustworthy.
ReplyDeleteNo, I don't have any more questions
It's best to add every person to the lease living in the home to ensure that you are not solely responsible for any damage done to the home.
ReplyDelete.
ReplyDeleteI learned that some places have a pet limitation of there own style or can be very strict and not at all. But also that the one renting the building can technically refuse an inspection even though it may not look too good from the renter.
ReplyDeleteDoes the co-signer have to be a relative of some sort or is it possible to have anyone co-sign.
I learned that if you ever leave make sure you don't leave any damages or messes because you can get charged for that.
ReplyDeleteAnother thing is that places can charge you extra for having pets.
I'm glad to know that I can have a snake without much fuss from the landlord, and other smallish pets like hamsters and fish. I learned that if you leave and you didn't stay the full lease that you have to continue paying for it. My question is if someone can stay there for a couple of months without living there do you still have to pay for them staying over?
ReplyDeleteI learn that if we have a pet we have to pay around 500 for pet.
ReplyDeleteand I learned that when we leave the apartment we have to delete our name on the computer so that they will not use our name on the computer anymore
this is Rodas
ReplyDeleteComplaints can literally be filed just by venting about your neighbor. I mean, it makes sense, but okay. And having your Landlord call someone for repairs is a much safer option, since it may still happen, and end up coming out of your deposit.
ReplyDeleteMost security deposits are refundable, while some aren't. You will eventually get a report from the people you rented from talking about any repairs and cleaning happened after you moved out. It will have a check if the Security deposit is refundable and their is still money from the Deposit. It will say how much you owe if the security deposit didn't cover cleaning and repairs.
ReplyDeleteYou can still get into a rental even if you have no credit, sometimes if your credit is bad you can still get in if you have a good reference from a landlord that really liked you as a tenant. And you can pay a fine or deposit to have a pet.
ReplyDeleteI learned that it's better to tell your landlord if there is any problems with your apartment instead of trying to fix it yourself or not worrying about. If you have a lease your landlord has to make sure that your eligible to have the unit by checking your credit, rental and employment histories.
ReplyDeleteI feel that the speaker who came was very helpful and gave a lot of useful information that will help me in the future when i decide to move out. for example i learned that when you leave a house u must clean it and repair it to the way it was when u moved in or they will take money out of your security deposit to fix and clean the house. I also learned that if you decide to live in a house fort 12 months but leave before your 12 months is up you still haft to pay the rent on that house plus what ever else u are paying.
ReplyDeletethe speaker was very helpful. I learned some things
ReplyDeleteI learned that rental rates are non-negotiable. Why is there no date lines next to the signature lines on the applications?
ReplyDeleteNot too much but i have a question about my friend who had 24 hours to move out and it got changed to 2 hours idk really know how that was even possible.
ReplyDeleteIf you own a pet you may have to pay a pet fee. If you notice a problem about the house you should let the owners know so that they can fix it at no cost to you, and you do not have to deal with the common problems. make sure to read the entire lease and the fine print. When looking to rent make sure to check if there is any extra costs to live there such as laundry. A security deposit can be refundable if you pay everything on time and do not damage anything.
ReplyDeleteI learned that most security deposits are refundable, also that even if you have no credit a big thing to get into a rental is what your previous landlord thinks or says about you if you were a good tenant and get a good review from them then you still have a good chance of getting into a rental.
ReplyDeleteI thought that a rent application was so hart before but this makes me understand it better now.
ReplyDeleteFrom what I've learned from the guest speaker is that you have to take pictures of any damage or things around the house that needs a touch up before you move out so you don't take the blame for the damages that were there before you moved into the house. it could lead to you being charged money and paying for the damages yourself.
ReplyDeleteI thought it would be more complicated, yes there is a lot of steps to complete, but they help you through your process so you know what you're doing. Also, I learned that it really is best to be honest and open with your landlord, as long as they're getting paid and you aren't a problem they'll like you.
ReplyDeleteLandlords will cover any damage not directly caused by you. If you have roommates and one moves out, the rest of you have to pick up the remaining balance of rent. If a roommate causes something to break or breaks a rule, everyone is held accountable.
ReplyDeletethere are quite a bit of steps that make it seem complicated, like a lot but i don't think its as complicated as it looks or they are making it seem. ~Marissa Lyn
ReplyDeleteShe cleared a bunch of questions I had cost wise, and made everything seem very simple to me, she was amazing
ReplyDeleteEven if you have an account of any damages from the previous tenant, if you don't ever give them to the landlord you can still be charged for any damages because there is no way for them to know how long the damages have been there. Not many questions I can think of at the moment.
ReplyDeleteI learned that the first thing you should do after getting an apartment is to take pictures and write down the condition of the apartment. And give the written portion to your landlord to avoid misunderstandings later on.
ReplyDeletethe guest speaker told us all about rules and what to do and what not to do when leasing and co-leasing and who to pick for that and what to do if you have pets or room mates
ReplyDeleteI learned that a home owner most likely will not report you to the police for a Minor in possession. I have no more questions.
ReplyDeleteI learned that they can raise your down payment if they don't think you're that trustworthy.
ReplyDeleteI learned that when you get an apartment take photos about what the conditions look like and what needs to be fixed
ReplyDeletewhen you move into a home take pictures of all the damage, just in case you move out they cant say that you did that because you will already have pictures of the damages done. ~marissa johnston
ReplyDeletei learn that the land lord can not check your apartment before notice 24. do they really call the land lord after we move another place?
ReplyDeleteI learned that you can throw parties but you need to pay for all damage and try to pay on time every time.
ReplyDeletepayton cameron
Deleteshe said that you have to put down a deposit for your pet and if you have no problems you get your money back
ReplyDeleteWhen you get a new apartment you should take pictures or videos of it's condition so you can prove anything that's broken wasn't damaged by you.
ReplyDeleteIf you don't have any problems with you'r apartment and keep it clean when you move out you get back you'r security deposit.
ReplyDeleteFor people our age, since we dont have any credit build, first impressions are very important. also dont apply to a bunch of places all at once, do a few and then wait to hear back before doing more.
