A Few Notes for Renters

If you come in the summer, you'll have a better selection, as many leases end during late spring and early summer. Usually, you'll only need 10 days to find a place during that time (news sure to make procrastinators happy). If you come during a slow time, allot 15 days. In general, it's easier to search for apartments or condos for rent in Montclaire South. Compared to rental houses and townhouses, there are just more of them available. If you consider a rental house the bees knees though, just be prepared to work a little harder. It won't be so bad. It's not like trying to catch Richard Petty on the last lap of a NASCAR race after all.

The Lease Agreement

You'll have to cover one month's rent and the deposit when signing a rental agreement. Regardless of whether you are renting from an individual owner or complex, expect to have your credit checked and prepare to provide some information about your rental history. You'll also have to demonstrate that you can afford your new digs. Inquire about payment for utilities each month, as most pads in Montclaire South don't offer those super-cool all bills paid deals.

A Warning about Paying Rent on Time

A small percentage of landlords in Montclaire South have been known to show tenants the door for not paying rent on time. While this is a little nerve-racking, there is one simple way to avoid being left by the side of the curb: get that rent check sent to your landlord on time! Sometimes that's easier said than done; if your check will be a day or two late, just be sure to notify the owner.
