A MINIATURE LLAMA: Jul 30, 2009; IT'S SO TINY

bamhand posted:

Any tips on rental/lease contracts? Mainly for renting from a private home owner as opposed to a landlord that owns a whole bunch of buildings.

From my experience, go over the contract very carefully. Who is responsible for what utilities? What if something damages the property (like a flood, or a tree falling on a house, or a backed-up septic tank), is there a turnaround time expected for the repairs to be made? In that case, who is responsible for what (such as if, for instance, carpet needs to be replaced due to flood - are you, the renter, responsible for moving all of your things so that the new carpet can be laid down?). Also, make sure that you are up-to-date on the laws in your state regarding getting a return on security deposits - most states allow up to 60 days, and things like "normal wear and tear" (like re-painting walls) should NOT be deducted from the deposit.
