NOTE:
* Mobile
Homes and Furnished Houses are very limited.
* Non-Subsidized rentals under
$400 per month should be closely inspected prior to your commitment to
rent.
* All owner/agents listed by the CHRRS Office have agreed to select
tenants without regard to race, color, sex, creed, or natural
origin.
SECURITY DEPOSIT: A security deposit equal to one
month's rent is required on most rental units. This deposit is
primarily used to cover damages or unpaid utility bills upon your
departure. A security deposit is not considered the final month's
rent. When a tenant vacates a unit a refund of the security deposit is normally
made within 30 days.
PET FEES: Few landlords allow pets,
however, if pets are allowed, a non-refundable fee is often
required. The tenant also accepts full responsibility for all damages
caused by the pet. Consider asking your current landlord for a pet reference
letter. This may help sway a reluctant landlord in your
favor.
LEASES: A good contract is clearly
written. All blank spaces should be filled in before you sign, to
include full names and identification of both parties; the specific dwelling
involved; the beginning and end dates of the rental period; the total amount of
rent due each month; and the amount of rent/security deposit
prepaid. A lease should make provisions for cancellations (military
agreement), and extensions of the lease beyond the first rental
period. It should specify the landlord's rights and responsibilities
as well as the tenants. The contract should clearly state the
utilities and services supplied by the landlord in the rental
charge. Many contracts will also include operating policies or house
rules.
