Private Rental Properties

www.GoByOwners.com - HOW TO RENT FROM A PRIVATE HOME OWNER

One of the easiest ways to narrow your search fast is to use the Internet. Type in a search term such as "private rental properties" or "rental properties by owner", then at the sites that come up type in your zip code or the city you're interested in.

Make a short list of possible homes to rent that fit your needs (number of bedrooms, access to transport and schools, etc).

Phone the owners to discuss the property and get your questions answered. If the property sounds like a good prospect, make an appointment to see the home.

Dont fill out any application form until after you have seen the property. You will need your rental history and credit references to complete the application.

Ask how the landlord handles repairs, emergencies and routine maintenance. Before you move in, make sure these things have been agreed in writing - preferably in the rental agreement.

Finally, a tip to help protect your credit rating. Provide the landlord with a current copy of your credit report so each landlord does not have to request one because that will negatively affect your credit rating.
