For the rentals on this site do you have to have good credit?

M/M Holden,\nNo, this site does not regulate who must have good or bad credit to lease a property. In fact, all properties are case by case. One owner may require the stars and moon, while another owner may require someone whose just breathing! That is one way for Landlords to navigate what type of Property Management Co. they prefer to work with. However, the one person that should and must make the final decision on any one property to be leased to a certain prospect is the Landlord/Owner of the Property. As a Broker-Owner of a Property Management Co. for over 33 years; A credit score is only one of many, many factors to consider. Many people even go by three times the rent..... Everything we discover, can or will help make the Landlord to come to an affirmative decision. Bottom line, their is no perfect tenant. Great job today, lose it next month...Just know that derogatory credit will determine how much you will have to pay to move in. Double Rent & or Double Security Deposit, etc..

Hello, we will be moving mid July into a rental property. Is it too soon to begin looking and/or inquiring about listings?

Ms. Keller,\n\nBetween mid May, right before school lets out and before you go one summer vacation is the best time to look for a rental. It will not take weeks and weeks. Its not like buying a house. A rental will have limited pickings. The area you choose, the criteria you choose, the price, the school district, etc.; you will find that only so many properties are available. Just in the last week, I leased 3 houses with only having them listed for less than a day. I had two that we only placed the sign in the yard and received multiple applications before even making it to the office....May, June, July and mid August are hot months to lease. School let out and Schools about to begin.\n\nI am the Broker/TREC Instructor & Course Author for Property Management. (I teach to other agents, brokers & investors.)\nI am also the Owner of Manta Ray Enterprises, Inc. Real Estate Company & Property Management Company.\nBeen in the business for over 33 years.....full time, not a part time job.\nI also teach with the local school district to the consumer to help navigate their wants and need.\n\nCall me anytime .....to start your search.\n\nManta Ray Enterprises, Inc.\nTisham@mreinc.us\nPhone: 281-578-8881\n\n

Situation: I\'ve found a tenant on the net. He\'s maybe one of the nicest persons I\'ve ever met. Because of a car accident, he can\'t walk. His credit score - perfect, huge incomes for a month, but property as well 3k$/month as well. I had never had such experience, so I\'ve decided to rush over different forums in order to understand how the house can be modernized. Ramps is a matter of course. I\'m ready to invest in my property, but with such tenants, I need to do my best. Please help.

Well, you already informed many people when posting your question of this prospect....beware that as the Landlord, you accept this Tenant, YOU CAN\'T DENY THEM TENANCY BECAUSE OF THIER DISABILITIES; but what you do is allow the Tenant to hire their own contractor, you are not a contractor, and know that every modification MUST go through you-its your property! Once you accepted the person as your Tenant, you can\'t deny them modifications to the house that will enable he/her to be in a safe or healthy home.\n\nThese expenses are not the Landlords, they are the Tenant\'s responsibilities. Unless, you are violating other Acts; Landlords & Tenant\'s Safety & Health Violations....you must allow them to do what they must to live as normal as possible with these modifications. \n\nBut once the Tenant moves out, the Tenant is responsible to bring back the condition as it was prior to moving in at Tenant\'s Expense. That\'s why its so, so important that you collect the appropriate monies for Security Deposits &/or Additional Security Deposits for any up coming structure modifications to the property that would not work for a non-disable tenant. Example; Tub/Shower Handle or Seat in the shower...is not usually an inconvenience to the non-disable. However, a Siren going off for the blind, may be irritating to the non-disable, etc., etc.\n\nRemember, this is why Landlords hires Property Management Companies, because at the end of the day...it\'s business. This is an investment property....think like an Investor, not like the person\'s parent. Be friendly, but keep it business. \n\nTisha \nBroker-Owner-Landlord-TREC Instructor & Course Author\nManta Ray Enterprises, Inc.\nReal Estate & Property Management Company\n\nTishaM@MRE, Inc.\nPh: 281-578-8881
