Minneapolis Condos - Know Your Lease


Minneapolis Condos For SaleRenting and owning are two very different things.  When you are renting a property it's important that you understand the lease agreement that you are entering into.  The terms of the lease are much more than move in/move out dates and monthly rent.  One of the big stipulations that we have seen tenants having a hard time understanding is the marketing cooperation agreement.  The reason that this is so important is that if the owner is to lease the propert to a new tenant their goal is to avoid a vacancy and the lost rental incomve that comes with that.  So, they need the current tenants cooperation during the final two months in regards to marketing which means cooperating with showings and potentially open houses with 24 hour notice.  So if you schedule a brunch Sunday morning complete with mimosa's and you have several days notice that a showing has been requested denying the showing can potentially cost you your security deposit depending on the language in the lease.  Though it may seem like an inconvenience just know that when you rent a Minneapolis condo you have to abide by the terms of your lease.  If you are concerned about certain provisions deal with them up front and approve the language in the lease before signing.  Visit our website for more information on Minneapolis Condos.

Danny, 

Interesting.  In GA - our leases state a penalty for not showing if given reasonable notice.  It's a nominal amount - well, like $50 or so.  

Folks definately need to understand how this works. 

All the best, Michelle

Interesting...I like that, a fee per occurance for not cooperating.  I might need to include that!
