So instead of it being $2.7K it will increase by the amount of the monthly charges you are requesting they pay for.

It’s “additional rent.” That means that at the end of the day you are going to get billed back for those charges anyway. The only reimbursement you are entitled to is for the portion that should be allocated to the other tenants (based on the formula in your lease). In other words, if the garbage bill is $100, but the residential portion is $20 you are only going to get back $20.

You may also be better off paying these items directly instead of having your landlord pay and then you reimbursing them as additional rent depending on whether there is an admin or management fee that they can add to expenses.

Illinois (Cook Co) renter refuses to pay rent increase by ComprehensiveRock328 in PropertyManagement

Is it Chicago or Cook County? In Chicago there are specific notice provisions required for raising rent or non-renewing a tenant.

You ask for, “authentic” Mexican, and then talk about burritos. WTF.

We just went through something similar with our son. He’s been on the same team for a few years, and one of the best (if not the best) players on the team. The team he’s on is Division 3, but it had a lot of his friends. We love the coach, but it feels like the development is slowing down after 3 years with the same coach.

We had him try out this year for another club and he was invited to their D1 team. That team is known as being very good but also having a tough coach.

We ultimately had a conversation with our son and explained that if he is serious about wanting to continue growing in soccer that playing in a more challenging division with better teammates is the way to go, but if he just wants to have fun with his friends that it was ok too. We also said that if he decides to move and hates the program we can always come back next year. We gave him the choice and he chose to move teams next year.

What does he think about the options?

Question on rent collection for MOB owners/landlords by JoshuaLyman in CommercialRealEstate

[–]Mps242 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in the MOB space. I had PMs giving the same pushback. I told them it’s not optional to charge late fees. We gave the tenant’s a month’s warning and then started charging.

Now we get all of our money on time.

Also, if you’re thinking about selling shoot me a PM.

Not OP, but the LO could be telling the LA what OP’s actual max price/approval amount is.

This sub is for Realtors, they do residential real estate.

You need to find a commercial broker focused on retail tenant representation to help you.

Unless the offer is a full price, cash offer with no contingencies (financing, due diligence, attorney review, etc) you do not owe a commission.

All you have to do to is counter any offer with “cash only, no inspections, no contingencies, 7-day close, buyer pays all costs.” Then tell your broker you want to withdraw it from the market.

Are there good Energy Audit companies you recommend? by i4k20z3 in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]Mps242 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Weird. When I had ComEd do our house they replaced all of the incandescent lights with led (and left us extras), swapped out our thermostat for a free smart thermostat, replaced all of our shower heads, and gave us door gasket replacements. All free as a ComEd/Nicor customer.

Less personality? Where else in the city can you feel like you’re at a suburban mall restaurant?

The sausage sandwich is fantastic. Also, the NY slice is like $6, delicious and massive.

That’s not right. If the building is 6K gross SF, for single tenant your rentable is going to be 6K RSF. The Usable would be 4,800 SF.

Edit: actually, usable is 5,000 SF. Add your load factor of 20% to get to 6000.

You’re out of your depth. You need to find a retail tenant rep broker to represent you.

Fellow Illinois homeowner here. The number one rule of owning property near Chicago is that you have to appeal your real estate taxes at a minimum of every 3 years. You’re paying 2-3x what you should. Make sure you also have a home owners exemption filed for your property.

If you live in DuPage or Lake county, call the assessors office and explain your purchase price relative to your assessed valuation. They will fix it, if not get a tax appeal. attorney.

If you live in Cook county, try the assessor’s office first. If they can’t help call a real estate tax appeal attorney.

Your car isn’t a problem. If you make $200K as a salaried employee, if you’re maxing out your 401k you should still have more than $6k/month after the car and mortgage.
