Many real estate agents mark February’s Presidents Day weekend as the unofficial start of the housing season, which runs through September. There is then a steady decline in activity until the next year.

If you don’t want to appear desperate by dropping the value, price the home realistically from the start. In a hot market, “too long” for a house to sit unsold is three to four weeks, max.

If your home is located near a tiny pond, don’t describe it as if it’s this huge, luxurious waterfront lake desirable to all. Take what you do have and describe the best features of it. Otherwise, buyers may be turned off and disappointed.

People can’t see black holes; no light gets out, making them invisible. If your listing falls into a real estate black hole, no one will see it either. Choose wisely to avoid busy times of the year or holiday weekends.

Did you know that it’s better to use shorter furniture during summer months? It makes the room feel bigger, longer, and in the potential buyer’s mind, a better fit.

People love a healthy lawn! Who can resist the smell of freshly cut grass? Do not underestimate the power of a kept lawn to add to the overall aesthetic of your home!

Know your lease terms! Finally, look carefully at any lease provisions allowing you or the landlord to end the deal early. Typically, the tenant has the right to stay until the lease expires even if the property is sold. Many leases allow the tenant to leave early, with notice of a month or two, for a new job or transfer a minimum distance from the property.

If you break the lease, the landlord will keep your security deposit and may well sue you for the remaining months’ rent. This could also mark your credit history and hurt your credit score.

Pay your rent! Don’t assume you can use your security deposit to pay the rent as you get ready to move out. That would leave the landlord with no fund to pay for repairs, and most leases prohibit this.

Check your lease! In many cases, the renter is required to pay the first and last month’s rent plus a security deposit, often equal to a month’s rent. Read the fine print so you know what is expected of you and what to expect from the landlord.

Don’t count on getting the whole deposit back. Some landlords do everything they can to hold on to this money, knowing many tenants won’t bother with a legal fight. The lease should state details as to what you will be charged for.

[daytonrealpropertymanagemen-blog]

Get it in writing! Whether you rent from an individual or a company, the signed lease governs the relationship, so be wary of relying on oral promises that stray from terms of the contract. Make sure the lease is clear about each party’s obligations.

Rental Tips: Know your credit history & check your credit history for errors. A history of late payments and low FICO score can scare off a landlord.
