Important advice for tenants
Hi,
During the Portland housing boom of the 2000-oughts, many townhomes got build along side our vintage bungalows. Perhaps it's the same in your area. If you are applying yourself to rent a townhome (like this one), you should take steps to protect you. After all, you are paying 50% more than you paid two short years ago, and a few of these "newer" units were construed with cheap materials!
Questions to I like to ask my perspective "landperson" ("LOL")
- Are you dog friendly? If so, may I build a doghome in the backyard? (Don't worry — he's home-trained.)
- I might want to provide assistance to the FBI. Can I use the unit as a safe home?
- In my last place, the previous tenants spilled home dressing on the carpet, and I got blamed. It begs the question, before I move-in, Can I thoroughly inspect your Unit? (Irregardless, the whole home of cards went down at my last place and I was literally buried in red tape.)
- You follow the Equal homing amendment, right? Because I often have my houseys over to rap, if you know what I mean. My people often say, So and so is "in the home," if you catch my drift.
Apropos of nothing: Did Home, M.D. get any better this season?
