House Rent

Renting a House RENTING A HOUSE If you rent a house, rather than an apartment, you'll have some additionalconcerns: Lawn care and snow removal will probably be your responsibility. City codes require that lawns be mowed. If you think the landlord is providing either of these services, make sure your lease says so. Garbage hauling is not a municipal service in Champaign-Urbana. Unless your lease says that the landlord provides and pays for hauling, you'll have to call a private hauler and arrange service. Look in the yellow pages under "garbage." (Note: references in your lease to sanitary fees are for the sewer system, not for garbage hauling). Don't assume the garage comes with the house; make sure the lease says you are renting the "house and garage." If the house has no garage but you plan to park in the driveway, make sure the lease says Lessee may park in the driveway at no extra cost. Be sure the lease states the number of bedrooms in the house, especially if any bedrooms are in the basement or attic. If any area containing bedrooms becomes unfit for habitation while the rest of the house is still habitable, you'll be in a better bargaining position with your landlord if you can prove that the uninhabitable space was leased to you for living and sleeping purposes. Zoning laws prohibit more than four unrelated adults from living together in a single family home. The tenants, as well as the landlords, can be held liable by the city for violating the law. Enforcement is complaint-driven. If you live in Urbana near the U of I campus, or if you live anywhere and annoy your neighbors with noise or illegally parking cars on the lawn, you are a likely target for enforcement. See section of this handbook on " Zoning ." Be especially careful about including in your lease a list of all appliances that the landlord will "provide and maintain." Don't assume the washer and dryer in the basement will be repaired by the landlord if one breaks down. They may have just been left in the house by previous tenants. Protecting your deposit is a bigger job with a house. Many tenants report being charged at the end of the lease for leaving trash in the yard, damage to a porch, lawn care, cleaning out the basement, etc. Both when you move in and when you move out, you should take photographs of the basement, attic, front and back yards and the porch , in addition to photographs of walls, floors, insides of oven, fridge and cabinets and all fixtures. Damage deposit refund law does not cover houses (except in the City of Urbana). If the house is in Champaign, Savoy or anyplace other than Urbana, be sure your lease states the time period for refund of the deposit and requires the landlord to provide you with an itemized statement of damages within a certain time period. A sample clause appears in the section of this handbook on signing a lease. Return to Home Page Return to Table of Contents

When selling a home , a real estate agent can be an indispensable resource. Real estate agents can give you up-to-date information regarding prices, financing, terms and conditions of competing properties, and information about the housing market in general. A real estate agent will market your property to other real estate agents as well as to the public, and will know the best way to go about doing so. A real estate agent can also help you objectively evaluate buyer proposals, and then, finally, help you close the sale. In fact, a 2002 study on Home Sellers reports that the median sales price of an agent-assisted home was 27% higher than one sold "by owner". When buying a home , having the assistance of a real estate agent can be equally as important. Real estate agents have access to resources for assisting you in your home search not available elsewhere. A real estate agent can also provide you objective information about each property, and give you advice based on years of experience. A real estate agent will help you negotiate and also steer you through the closing process to make sure everything goes smoothly.

Common Mistakes to Avoid Common home buying mistakes can be avoided, you need to know what some of them are. search Denver Real Estate Site How to qualify for a mortgage A brief summary on how to get a home loan When a mortgage lender takes your application they are checking your ability and willingness to repay. It is said that "history repeats itself". Lenders look at your history to predict the future. This process can go as quickly as 24 hours or take several weeks. This is done by checking the following items: Your credit history (the past 2 years) Your checking account (bounced checks are not good) Your income Your FICO score (on conventional loans) Almost everyone who has some sort of credit, some money set aside for a down payment and an income can get a loan. Now whether or not you want that loan may be a different story. Mortgage rates are proportional to the amount of risk the lender must take. If the credit history is bad, the risk will be off set by a higher interest rate. The best way to qualify for a mortgage that you want is to have a nice clean credit report, little debt and pay all your bills on time, every time. Excessive consumer debt as in multiple credit cards lowers your FICO score . A hint to avoid this happening is to consolidate your debt on one charge card. Even if you have excellent credit it is a good idea to pull a credit report on yourself, prior to visiting the lender. In Colorado you are allowed to do this free of charge once a year. (If you aren't in Colorado or any of the "free" states, then you can pay a small fee to obtain a copy of your credit report.) There are more than one credit reporting companies and not all companies report to all credit bureaus, so be sure to request a credit report from all, just to be sure. Here is how to contact the credit reporting agencies: Equifax Equifax Information Service Center P.O. Box 740241 Atlanta, GA 30374-0241 1-800-997-2493 You can also order your credit report from a secure section of the Equifax website at http://www.equifax.com Experian Experian National Consumer Assistance Center P,O, Box 2104 Allen, TX 75013-2104 1-888-397-3742 You can print a credit report order from at http://www.experian.com Trans Union Corporation, Consumer Disclosure Center P,.O. Box 390 Springfield, PA 19064-0390 1-800-888-4213 You can order a credit report online from Trans Union's website at http://www.transunion.com Be Pro-active... By reviewing your credit report prior to visiting a lender, you will be able to straighten out any errors or disputed items and avoid any troublesome holdups down the road. If you see a disputed item, an error made by a faulty social security number, a name similar to yours, or a court ordered judgment you paid off that hasn't been cleared from the public records, clear it off now. By writing to the credit reporting agency, you can have them remove the items and save you time and aggravation later. TIP: Make sure any outdated derogatory entries are deleted from your credit file. By outdated, anything over 7 years should be deleted (except bankruptcy which is 10 years). TIP: Officially cancel inactive credit cards Even if you don't use a credit card, some lenders will assume that credit limit is available to you and use it in qualifying you. Therefore, if you don't use it and don't need it, cancel it. Too many credit cards even with no balance can keep you from getting a loan. TIP: Hold off on making any major purchases until after you close on the loan. Many times people obtain a loan commitment then go out and charge a new car or a houseful of furniture, only to totally destroy the ratios on their loan commitment. If you find you need assistance with any of these strategies, it's OK to sit down and talk with a lender. Explain your situation and what you are trying to do. A good lender will help you structure your finances, credit report and budget, keeping your best interest in mind. Continue to How Much of a Down Payment? .
