Tenants Beware
With Foreclosures rising and entering into full circle many of the borrowers aren’t the only ones being affected. We know today the majority of the foreclosures were caused by speculation and the subprime Market. IF you are looking into leasing this year please protect yourself you could be evicted even if you paid your rent on time. Don’t be over concern on the granite counter top or the island Kitchen being so can cause you to over look the important things. Many times future tenants overemphasize on the upgrades and don’t look beyond the amenities and upgrades. Consider these 3 simple questions or rules before you make a decision of renting this year.
I’m sure you are more than aware of this expression To good to be True. Have you been looking for an apartment or a home and walked into this great deal. The house had granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances, big rooms and best of all a pool. When you asked for the Rent they answered with a very affordable Rent. When I say affordable I mean 350 below Market Rent. Along with the flowing of great excitement s and anticipation you should ask yourself Why is it so low. Many owners are very aware of the deadline they have to Rent out their property and they are trying to squeeze every penny they can. It is not an unrealistic scenario if you are being evicted not by the landlord himself but by the Sheriff office.
- 2. Ask if the owner is current and evidence of payment.
This is the single most important question to ask the realtor or the landlord. It should determine if you move in or not. I would also suggest not just to ask but to provide evidence of payment. IF they don’t want to provide evidence your last line of defense should be checking Public information. By this time you should know the first and last name of the owner and you already have the addresses go to the http://www.miami-dadeclerk.com/dadecoc/.The website should tell you if they have the lis pendens assigned to that property or homeowner.
Don’t be a evicted of fraud or scams protect yourself. Give the First rule in mind and don’t forget the second one. Many say you should learn from experience I say learn from other people experience. IF you are looking into renting or leasing please call me I will make sure you don’t get evicted in 4 months. Peace of mind is priceless.
