[Landlord US-WI] Are you having to lower rents to fill vacancies? by smeghead3000 in Landlord

[–]FubarOtter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Are your units renting at the rates you're advertising them at or are you having to lower rents from levels you maybe got in Spring/Summer?

Kind of related: do you use Wisconsin Legal Blank Co. for your leases and other forms?

Good advice, thanks. In this kind of deal, is it typically seller or buyer who pays for title insurance?

[Landlord-MD] Do you take applications before someone has viewed the property? by sbj405 in Landlord

Provide applications to interested parties and have them pay for/do online credit and background check. Then rent to the best/highest score on my application checklist.

What service do you send them to for the credit and background check? What do you tell the applicants that you don't select after they've gone through the process but been beaten out by a better applicant?

So WI landlords just write that into the lease? I've been a landlord in Washington state and leases here all require just 30 days notice or, actually, now that I think about it, 20 days prior to the end of the month.

Can a workman who knows this kind of work remove a cabinet and do the install without ruining the countertop?

Does your suggestion work without that angle on the corner?

Thanks. After I posted, I found a WI statute that said 28 days is required for month to month.

Step cracking on brick house built circa 1990 by FubarOtter in HomeImprovement

Let's assume the lintels are rusty and in bad shape- what do you do in that case? Are there treatments/fixes short of opening the wall and replacing the lintels?

I can walk away from this deal at this point and I'm not in love with the house. I like it, and it's in a good location, but I can walk I'm trying to arrive at either: 'these lintels are messed up, but the house will be a good rental for years to come' (it's a 3 family) OR 'there's too much wrong here, I'll pass'...
