Renter Tips
continued from page 1c
merits — although the longer
you wait, the harder they are
to find — but procrastinators
do not usually have much
luck finding houses.
During your search for a
new place to live, you’ll like
ly find yourself meeting
landlords or managers. It’s
important to take advantage
of this opportunity, said
David Lussier Dyer, Univer
sity senior and resident man
ager of Blackstone Manor. At
this time, the landlord or
manager can answer most of
your questions.
The most important ques
tions to ask, Lussier Dyer
said, involve proximity, se
curity and neighbors. People
should familiarize them
selves with the distance from
a residence to places such as
the University, grocery stores
or bus stops. Also, security
questions about the neigh
borhood, such as inquires
about robberies, are useful,
Lussier Dyer said.
Of course, once you have
decided for sure where and
with whom you’ll be mov
ing, you must move out of
your old place.
If you are currently renting
on a month-to-month basis,
it’s necessary to give notice of
your departure at least 30
days prior to your move, ac
cording to the Renter’s Hand
book. When leasing, howev
er, notice is not required, but
you are responsible for pay
ing rent for the entire dura
tion of the lease — even if
you move out before your
lease has been terminated.
According to the Renter’s
Handbook, make sure you
immediately contact the util
ity company when moving
out to shut off your services.
Otherwise, you could be
billed for the next tenant’s
use of those services. The
person whose name appears
on the bill is legally responsi
ble.
Additionally, a residence
should be left in the same or
better condition than it ap
peared when you first moved
in. According to the Renter’s
Handbook, you should ask
your landlord to walk
through the unit with you a
few weeks before moving
out. This way, you can at
tempt to make repairs he or
she noticed rather than fac
ing fees.
Finally, it’s time to move
into your new place.
If you sign a lease or agree
ment, make sure you under
stand the terms. According to
the Renter’s Handbook, feel
free to make any changes to
the agreement as long as the
landlord or manager permits
the new conditions.
Make sure you know
whether you or your land
lord is responsible for pro
viding utilities and what ad
ditional services are
included with your rent pay
ment. Also, if you are re
quired to pay a deposit or
other fees, understand what
exactly that covers.
Additionally, inspect the
unit to avoid future disputes
about breaks, damage or
cleanliness. Lussier Dyer
stresses the importance of
checking everything. You
should keep a record of what
you observed while inspect
ing the residence.
“Write everything down,
and give it to your manager,”
Lussier Dyer said. Also, keep
a copy for yourself. You can
obtain a complete checklist
for inventory and condition
in the Renter’s Handbook.
Finally, once a new resi
dence is officially yours,
you’re ready make it your
home.
The first thing you should
do is meet all your neighbors,
Lussier Dyer said: “Establish
communication.”
He stresses that most prob
lems with neighbors can eas
ily be solved if you feel com
fortable confronting them
about issues.
