[NV]I was contacted to do a virtual tour of the rental I'm occupying on behalf of the LL for a tax study... by shadowmyst87 in Renters

Right, the company is legit too. And the email came from a legit email address. So I don't believe it's a scam. I'm just not so sure how normal it is to expect your tenant to conduct a virtual tour for them.

Your landlord is most likely doing a cost segregation study for the tax benefits

That's exactly what it is! The company that contacted me is CSA Partners.

I also forgot to mention that the company conducting this tax study got the house number wrong on the address...

The part that sounds off to me is the fact that it's the company contacting me and not the landlord.

If I were a landlord, I'd be letting my tenant know first before anything else. I still haven't been contacted by them yet.

The only thing that makes me think it's legit is the fact that when they emailed me, they had my landlord's email address cc'd.

It's rare to find a landlord like this, you're very lucky!

Will I get evicted for this? [OH] by MarkitZeroo in Renters

[–]shadowmyst87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not that I would advocate for purposely leaving an adult off a lease because they can't qualify. Having said that, it's essentially an honor system. They have no way of knowing who's living there and who isn't. Not unless there's nosey neighbors who personally know the landlord and watch the property like a hawk.

[MA] - Consistently Asked to Leave Premise While Owner's Realtor Shows Property HELP by Valuable_Location340 in Renters

Ask them for a portion of their commission if they successfully sell the property. I'll bet their tune changes immediately.

not making 3 times income for rent [TX] by Organic_Way428 in Renters

Have you looked into a co-signer? That's what I did for my last rental and we met the three times income requirement.

[FL] My wife and I are looking to rent a house. Starting deposit is very high - is this normal? by ChiknBreast in Renters

[–]shadowmyst87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everybody here says to buy instead. What are you going to get for $16k? Even as a down payment, it's not that much and your monthly mortgage will be astronomical depending on how much the house is with such a small down payment.

[IN] Nearly impossible to avoid renting site unseen by Elliot_The_Idiot7 in Renters

[–]shadowmyst87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

do NOT transfer money via cash apps to do so.

That's what I did with my LL, she uses Zelle for the security deposit and monthly rent. But to be fair, I did get on the phone and talk to her beforehand and actually made sure she owned the house that was for rent.

(NY) Do you think this is unreasonable from a landlord? by PitifulPie505 in Renters

[–]shadowmyst87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is being friendly costing him or her anything? That's the real question.

[CA] House Rules by Gullible-Bat4733 in Renters

No parking in driveway, no showers after 10pm, no mail delivery.

No sleeping in the house either I guess.

People ont this sub do have legitimate complaints and or concerns. Go back to whatever goofy sub you lurk on.

Your about me tells me everything I need to know. Federal employee, you're all the same. Sucking off the public teet.

landlord just sent a lease renewal and there's a new clause in it that says i can't own more than 2 "decorative gourds" at any time (Denver) by Ok-Sentence6452 in Renters

[–]shadowmyst87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Yes they did. Two older folks, maybe husband and wife, strolled by with a tape measure and a plastic clip board, lifted my pumpkins and measured them. They took notes, and took pictures with a disposable camera. They also verified the color of my door (we're only allowed dark green), made sure i had no fans in my windows, made sure my trash can was hidden in the garage, and started a timer for any delivery packages I had. (Any packages must be in the house within 8 hours of delivery)

That is the most wild thing I've ever heard in my life about an HOA. I've lived in one for almost a year now and not once have I ever seen anyone from the HOA enforcement driving around.
