House for rent: 5 things that must not be missing
If you are looking for a house to rent through Uniafitti, there are some basic things you should always make sure are included in the lease. In this blog post, we will look at five of the most important things that should never be missing from your contract.
1. The price of rent
One of the first things that should be included in the lease is the price of rent. This may seem obvious, but you will be surprised at the number of leases that do not include this information! Make sure you know how much you will have to pay from your rental house each month and that this price is clearly stated in your lease. Not only will this save you a lot of confusion down the road, but it will also protect you in case your landlord tries to raise your rent without giving you due notice.
2. The duration of the lease agreement
Another important thing to look for in the lease is the length of the lease. Most leases last six months or a year, but sometimes you can find a place that allows you to sign a longer or shorter lease. If you are not sure how long you will live in your rental house, it is usually best to go with a six-month lease so that you do not have to pay for a place you are not using.
3. Utilities included?
Another important question to ask yourself before signing a lease is whether or not utilities are included in the rental price. Utilities can add up quickly, so it is important to know whether or not you will be responsible for paying them each month. In addition, some owners may cover only certain utilities (such as water), while others may cover all utilities (electricity, gas, water, garbage). Be sure to ask for information before signing the lease!
4. Pets allowed?
If you have a pet, it is important to check whether or not pets are allowed in the rental unit before signing a lease. Some owners have strict policies against allowing pets in their units, while others may charge an additional pet fee (or require pet insurance). If pets are allowed, be sure to ask about any weight or breed restrictions that might apply.
5. Security deposit
Last but not least, one of the most important things to look for in your home rental agreement is the security deposit. The security deposit is usually equal to one month’s rent, and is used to protect the owner in case of damage to the unit. Make sure the security deposit amount is clearly stated in your lease so there are no surprises down the road!
When you sign a lease for a rental house, there are some basic things you should always make sure are included. In this blog post, we looked at five of the most important things to look for in your lease: the price of the rent, the length of the lease, utilities included, pets allowed, and the amount of the security deposit. By double-checking these items before signing the lease, you can save yourself a lot of headaches down the road!
