Hello,
A topic I have not seen much discussion on here are the radical differences between renter responsibilities as they pertain to long term residential rentals here, which are 2 year rentals.
For example, while structural issues are the responsibility of the owner, wear and tear issues are typically the resposnibility of the renter.
Specific examples:
Water heater: It is understood that it is the renter's responsibility to do proper periodic maintenance to make sure it continues to operate properly.
A front door that is made of wood: It is understood that it is the renters responsibility to keep it protected with periodic chemicals to counter-act the effects of the elements.
Examples like these, unless specifically addressed in advance, fall under the legal phrase of "the property must be returned to the owner in the same state as it was originally delivered to the renter.
So, on top of the monthly rent amount you must budget, make sure you understand specifically what amounts you must budget to keep the property up to snuff during the 2-year rental.
Feedback?
