Check on rental rates for similar properties in your area and use those to help you determine what is a reasonable rate to charge.  Usually the deposit is paid when the lease is signed and in my experience it is a full month's rent (in addition to the first month's rental payment), although I suppose you could charge whatever you wanted for it.

Go on findaproperty.com - rentals, - you can find somewhere to rent in any area and to your price range. They are all through agents - so tend to be safer. If you don't go through an agent it might be cheaper  but be careful of dodgy landlords.  Agents will ask for credit check which in London can cost around £150, 1 months deposit and rent in advance and references.\n\ngood luck

Personally if they are newer tenants I'm at their door on the second of the month asking where the rent is.  If I do that a couple of times they seem to get the message.\n\nBe careful with late payment fees.  Many states control the earliest you can charge them and how much you can charge.  I too tried the idea of a discount if rent is received by the first and a small claims judge ruled that it was a transparent late fee that was charged too early, cost me about $225 including court costs.\n\nIf the tenant isn't on a lease (which I never do) and they are often late - raise the rent.\n\nIn my humble experience leases only protect the tenant and provide the landlord very little advantage.  The tenants usually don't have that much to lose, and it's not worth my time to chase them for less that $1,500

address the people/company you are renting from. i am sure they could work something suitable out for you with your being able to move. they are reasonable people or should be. things happen beyond our control sometimes and i know they know that too. next time you get room mates have them added onto the lease with your leaser. that way you are not totally responsible for everything.

Start looking now, you can get an idea of whats available the costs etc.  Also most landlords know if they may have a unit available in the up coming months.  Good Luck KG

Check the wording of your rental agreement carefully. A reputable landlord (are there any?) would not charge or hold back on your deposit for things considered "fair wear and tear".  It sounds like your landlord is trying it on, assuming your description of the problem is fair and accurate.\n\nIf you are a student talk to the housing officer at your university/college. If you are a private renter contact the letting agency you got the property from.\n\nIf you didn't go through a letting agent then contact your local citizens advice bureau.

Depending on the results of your criminal background check, and previous rental history, you could offer to pay a month ahead. For example, when you move in, pay the deposit, the first AND second month's rent. When the second month rolls around, pay the third month, etc.  You can agree that if you fall behind you will move immediately and leave the place spotless.  Many apartment managers would rather rent the apartment to someone willing to show good faith and then follow through than leave it vacant.

If you have a good rental history with your landlord he may be willing to cut you some slack.  \n\nTell your landlord the truth and make arrangements to pay in installments every week.

Talk to the CAB about the tenant rights. They will be able to give you the specifics, and they're free!

Talk to your landlord before the rent is too late.  Explain all the circumstances.  He should be understanding.  He would much rather have a filled apartment than a vacant one.  Offer to make a payment as soon as your husband gets paid.  If you've been late before, I doubt if you'll get the late fees waived, but it's worth a shot.  Those late fees do seem excessive to me.  I would check the rules in the state you live in and see if they are actually legal.\n\nGood luck

You need to sign up with HUD -- the Department of Housing and Urban Developemnt in your community. You will have to pass an inspection that they will do of the property. Sometimes they are really stict, but it really is a good idea to accept section 8. When you rent to section 8 you are guaranteed your rent each month, but the tenant maybe responsible for their share depending on their income. Please do a background check and check all refrences. That really is important. I use to rent to some people who were on section 8 and for the most part it worked out ok. Good luck.

Month to Month is exactly that.....You must give 30 days notice....So tomorrow you will pay July's rent and give Notice of Intent to Vacate......\n\nEven though you are moving out next week, you are responsible for the entire month's rent....\n\nQuite frankly,  a polite letter together w/ the rent check will suffice...you don't need to do an actual Pleading.

You are looking for a Property Manager. Without knowing where you are located, my best advice is to do a search for "Property Management, city, state". Be sure to contact a few and ask what percentage they charge, if they will get the property rent-ready, what upfront fees are charged.

The landlord can ask a tenant to pay for whatever they want.  It's up to YOU if you want to or not.  If you don't, I would suggest looking else where, where it's not included in the lease.

charge depending on the size of the house and if you are using your own products.  A flat rate of around $50 is normally good.  Check out some of your competition, call maid services around your area and ask how much they would charge. Don't tell them your plan tho. Use that information to help you find a good price. It's hard to tell you what to charge, it depends on where you live and what the economic situation in your area is. Good luck tho!

Different ways.  Have someone co-sign your lease.  Offer a higher security deposit.  Offer a higher rent rate.  Say you'll sign a longer lease term.  Arrange a month to month agreement so you can be easily booted if you fail to pay.  Find a nice place with a 'flexible' manager.  My mother paid $35 application fee, which I'm pretty sure went into the bldg. managers pocket!
