Renting a room in a house?
I'm a DC Nestie, helping my mom rent an apartment in a private home in Bedford. I've rented in a similar situation here in DC & it wouldn't be out of the norm to ask the owners to submit to a background or credit check. Do you think a couple in Bedford would think it was an unreasonable request? I don't want to tick them off, but I also don't want my mom to move into a house with complete strangers who could have a criminal past or be one month from losing the house.
Do you have any advice for her in reviewing the contract?
Thanks!
Re: Renting a room in a house?
The other way around I wouldn't think anything of, meaning that if somebody was renting out a room in their house and asked for a background check of the person they were renting to, but I've never heard of somebody doing that the other way.
Your concerns for your mom make sense, though. I have two questions that come to mind and they may or may not be helpful as I have never been in a situation like this.
Is she signing a lease agreement with the owners? If so, the lease agreement document itself could offer her SOME protection for certain things if she were to have a problem, I would think.
Is she going through a real estate company? If so, they could probably help you out with the backgroud check and knowing if it is common practice or not.
GL!
