A-Z Advice C

Conscionable.

The term unconscionable.  What does it mean, and more importantly when and where does it apply.

Synonyms for the term are unscrupulous, unreasonable, inordinate, and excessive.  The term unconscionable is defined as  "not right or reasonable" and alternatively "unreasonably excessive."    Many state statutes, URLTA as well have enacted restrictions on conditions or a clauses in a lease.

Urlta and your state if URLTA has been adopted does not permit a provision in a lease that requires a tenant to pay legal fees for the landlord, and a landlord retaining your deposit as a penalty has been ruled unconscionable in some states.  Excerpt from Florida Landlord Tenant Law 83.47 - "A provision of a lease the purports  to preclude any of the rights or remedies or to limit landlord’s liability to tenant 'under law' is unenforceable.  A party may recover any actual damages as a result to such provision."

If by chance that or any of the other "unlawful" provisions are in your lease they are considered unconscionable under the law, and more than likely will not be upheld in court.   The term itself has a great value to the rights of tenants.  It protects you from provisions and circumstance that have already been decided by lawmakers and appellate courts are not right.  It's important for you to know what protects you as a tenant and to know what looks like a good lease to offer a tenant can have a soured effect.

 

A-Z Advice B

Basics.

We are continuing or series A-Z Advice, and in this article we are going to highlight a few basic terms used in leases and identify some often used and misunderstood conditions that you may have in your lease.

  • Lessor-That's your landlord
  • Lessee- That's you the tenant
  • Lease Term or Lease Period- The length of your lease, often 12 months or one year.
  • Lease Provision or Clause- A condition or rule in a lease eg. no pets or no parking in front of the dumpster.
  • Deposit or Securities- Money required by a landlord used to offset damages if any, held in Escrow.
  • Escrow- A bank account held by the landlord to hold securities until the end of a lease.
  • Month to Month- A lease that is renewed monthly and may end by either party with a 30 day notice.
  • Perpetual Lease- a lease that automatically renews with the same terms after each period
  • Month to Month Renewal- a lease that after the initial term renews on a month to month basis.
  • Access or Entry- A term used for a landlord to enter the premises.
  • Due Date- The date of each month your rent is due, many jurisdictions have a grace period of 2 to 4 days after the due date that do not incur fees or penalty. eg. the 3rd or 5th of the month.
  • Forfeiture- a waiver or agreement to give up something. eg. property, rights, obligation etc.  Not a beneficial clause if you are a tenant, and in some cases are unlawful.
  • Amendment- A condition or clause that is modified in a lease, sometimes added in the margin of a lease and initialed by agreeing parties.
  • Written Notice- a letter in written from

It's a good practice to be mindful of what we've highlighted when signing a lease.  Other basics we wanted to touch on are some general tips about filing out applications and having your lease prepared.  It's best to retain copies of any documents that you sign and are presented with during your application process and when signing your lease.  Never leave blank spaces in your lease, that aren't identified, for example deposit, amount of rent, start date\ end date etc.

 

A Beginners Guide To Renting.

So you are just leaving the nest and you may or may not be apprehensive, cautious, excited or smiling from ear to ear.  Renting an apartment or house and signing a lease is a contract that you are obligated too, and it's important that you have a basic understanding of what you are obligating yourself to when you sign on the dotted line.

Granted there are multiple types of leases and different statutes that govern residential leases in locations as close as bordering counties.  You probably don't need an attorney to sign a lease, although it is a contract.  We wanted to highlight a few red flags that appear in leases that have been stricken from leases by some state and federal law including URLTA and states that have adopted it as law.

Don't agree to

  • Pay for attorney fees for your landlord.
  • Sign an agreement that allows a landlord to take personal property if rent is late.
  • Pay a deposit in excess of one months rent.
  • Force you to move without proper notice our court order.
  • Any condition that you don't agree with, consult a tenancy professional or advocate.

There are often costs or deposits associated with getting utilities in your name for the first time.  Most utility companies base a deposit on your credit score and established credit.  Proper planning and an advance inquiry to your local electric, cable, and water companies i will keep you from a resolvable, but unneeded headache.

Sometimes co-signers are required for a first time renter and you may be forced to look at other properties.   An additional deposit in lieu of a co-signer isn't allowed in areas that have adopted these rules. If it's your first place take your time and find something great, a few extra weeks at Mom and Dad's with home cooked meals isn't the end of the world.

 

 

 

 

A-Z Advice A

Affordability

Don't be reluctant to do research on the past costs of utilities and in large cities your commute.  When you are searching for an apartment or home for rent it is very important to calculate what the total cost of living will be for your new pad.  Most utility companies can average costs over the previous year and give you a figure that you can incorporate into your total cost of living. Often times  a budget is available upfront from utility companies. There's nothing worse than missing a weekend out with friends and family, or worse yet, having candlelight dinners because of a $200 electric bill that you didn't see coming.

  • Get utility costs from previous year.
  • Find out what your budget will be.
  • Add all the costs of budgeted utilities and lease payments.
  • Subtract that amount from your wages.
 

Apartment or House?

 E-mail

Apartments are a great option for renters.  Many apartment community's offer amenities such as swimming pools, common areas with rent-able areas for parties and special community events, on-site laundry facilities,  24 hour maintenance and sometimes included utilities.

Single family homes are becoming more readily available on the rental market. With homes remaining on the market for years at a time in some cases, home owners have turned to listing their property for rent. Having the ability to rent your house is a fantastic resource if your facing an undesired move.  The Rental Search is gearing up to provide resources for everyone that is or may be impacted by the rental market, and we intend to provide tips on how to be properly insured, state laws, federal statutory code and advice for Lessor's that are just getting their feet wet.
