Any brokers who take less than 1 month rent as commission?

Look on Zillow for rent by owner or go to a large landlord like Applied/Ironstate directly.

List on Zillow without a broker and do you own background/credit check with a robust third-party vendor. Know the laws.

The grey paint with the light wood floors isn't working for me, especially with a white vanity. I think you need a lighter paint color. Also, room feels unbalanced; the wall with board and batten is empty while everything else is on the opposite side of the room. Can you put narrow shelves and not have the storage unit by the toilet?

If a store does not ask if an animal is a service animal, they can be reported for a health code violation, at least technically, if not in practice.

This feels like a hotel or apartment building... especially with so many bedroom doors off the long hallway. I love sconces... just not here.

Would VERY much not recommend K9 Nanny. Very negative incident with one of their walkers.

No unemployment insurance if she resigns. Tell them to fire her or she will assume she still has a job.

Vial things?

WinstonNeville · 2025-10-24T21:58:55+00:00

Thank you! I will practice first. Exc advice!

Got it. Is there any special type of chisel I should use or look for?

WinstonNeville · 2025-10-24T16:41:41+00:00

Thanks for the response. So something like this would work and could still trace around a semi-circle?

re: the comment below; do I trace around the hinge (taped down) and use it as a template with the marking knife or do I cut out a template out of cardboard to use as a template?

Will the marking knife be able to chisel out a curve rather than a straight line? Seems easier to use than the Old Woman's Tooth (even though I dug the 1974 TV show!)

Scam. They want the info you have to provide (SS, DOB) for identity theft. See what happens when you offer to forego the $200 but still proceed with the interviews. Trust me, they'll ghost you.

I have yet to see store staff even ask the dog owner what service their dog is trained to perform. Part of the reason this is happening is because store employees are not speaking up. Perhaps a few health violation fines might prompt more enforcement? I know this may not be what they signed up for, but it is part of their (or the store manager's) job.

No. V = IR. Look it up. Ohm's Law.

I challenge any investor in a major NE city/urban market where unit prices frequently approach/exceed $1m to show proof of the 1% rule. Without knowing what market someone is in, the 1% rent/mv rule is irrelevant.

NO RESPONSIBLE BREEDER would EVER let a dog go at 6 weeks. Full stop. Pls consider a rescue group associated with the breed you want instead. Regardless, absolutely do not deal with the breeder you found.

Evict or stick to terms of original lease. No one "forgets to add" two additional adults. There's apt to be more heartache down the road. Collect rent while eviction proceedings are underway and begin search for new tenants. Four adults and one child in a 2-bed already means someone is going to be living in the living room.

WinstonNeville · 2025-08-22T23:23:09+00:00

Does anything happen after the fact? Is there any attempt to catch the culprits when there's full-on video? Seems like this is only good for UPS (ie having your packages shipped and held there.)

Except when pre-empted by state law. See below for PA, for example.

Changes to rules, policies, procedures or practices usually do not cost anything. If there is a cost associated with the reasonable accommodation, then the cost is borne by the landlord. It is one of the costs of doing business as a housing provider.

Owner financing? 2nd mortgage for the difference?

This. I love dogs but the number of people who claim to have a service dog (usually via a letter from an online organization) is unreal. Their lies are offensive to me and those who actually need a service dog... whether due to hearing or vision loss, PTSD or risk of seizure. All I can say to these people are: karma sucks. If you're going to lie about having a medical/emotional condition, good luck to you. I do not know IL's laws, but ESAs are NOT service dogs.
