9 Things to Check Before Renting a House in Fort Collins

1. Do Research Area Safety

It’s essential that you find out if the area is safe to live in. Read online reviews about properties in the neighborhood where you’re looking to get a general feel about the area, safety, people, and places before moving in. Talk to people living in and around the area to know as much as possible before signing any agreements.

2. Pets

While talking to the prospective landlord, bring up the topic about pets quite early in the discussions. There is a possibility that the property manager or landlord does not allow the tenants to have pets at a specific address. Failing to bring up the pets in the initial discussions can result in the breach of the lease agreement.

Many societies have tenancy agreements that prohibit pets from being kept in apartments. Breaching the lease agreement can lead to eviction. If you have pets you want to take with you, you’ll want to be sure the rental property you choose allows pets.

3. Check the house for damages

The first thing people notice after entering a residential property is the floor, carpets, and walls.

Although there may be a few nail holes in the walls or a couple of scuffs on the floor, you must ensure during your first visit that there is no obvious damage like large holes in the walls, big stains on the carpets, and broken windows.

It’s a good idea to snap a few pictures of the damages, stains or holes, for your records.

4. Check the Lights

Most people visit rental properties during the day, and usually, there is a good amount of natural light entering the property from windows and doors. There is a possibility that you might forget to turn on the lights and see if they work.

You should ensure that all the switches and light fixtures are in good condition, and bulbs are working. If they are not working, you can inform the property manager to get them fixed.

5. Take Photos

Take photos of the property as a documented proof of the property’s condition before you sign a lease or move in. As one of the best practices, you should always bring your camera or your smartphone to take photos of the entire rental unit.

Photos are also helpful when you want to choose the best between multiple properties you have visited or inspected for renting out.

6. Existence of the Property

It is always recommended to go with reputed companies like All Property Services if you are looking for houses for rent in Fort Collins.

Housing scammers these days go to great lengths to dupe people out of their money. They create fake websites and fake ads of the property on Facebook and other such platforms. Their ads are usually attractive and show great locations and low prices for excellent properties.

If the house that you are going to rent has any indication that it does not come from a real person or a trustworthy agency, you should not sign the deal or pay the money. You must always insist on viewing the home, either in person or in a virtual tour online. If the property manager is not willing to accommodate your request, it’s likely a scam listing.

You can overcome all these problems if you hire a reputable property management company. All Property Services, Inc. handles scheduling and conducting property showings. Get in touch with us now.

7. House Location

Location is the most important factor when you are choosing a house for rent. You will want to check how long it will take to reach your office, school, or any other place from the location of your rental unit.

You should also find out if the neighborhood has grocery stores, shopping centers, and other important places like hospitals and restaurants.

8. Household Bills

There are a number of things you will need to take care of as a tenant. Some additional bills you will need to cover may include gas, electricity, water, HOA fees, and more. Before you sign in the lease agreement, check with the Property Management Company for more details about these and whether they’re rolled into your rent or you have to pay them separately.

9. Neighbors

Before deciding to move into a rental home, you may want to find out first who your nearby neighbors will be.

Is the neighborhood you are choosing mostly made up of young families with small children, or will more of your neighbors be senior citizens? You can find out from your property management company, or you can talk to your neighbors in person. Getting acquainted with neighbors will also allow you to find out more feedback on the rental property you are considering.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Do I have to have good credit to rent a house?

During the tenant screening process, one of the things a property manager or landlord will check is your credit score. The reason why they do this is to ensure that you will be consistent in paying your rent and paying it on time. If you have a low credit score, this doesn’t mean it’s impossible to rent a home but it will make it more difficult.

If you know you have a low credit score or have not built any credit, you may be able to rent by having a co-signer.

Q2: Why do I have to pay a security deposit when renting?

Paying a security deposit provides financial protection for the property manager. This can help ensure that the renter will pay their rent on time and keep their end of the lease. This also helps to pay for damages to the home by the tenant (beyond normal wear and tear) at the end of the lease if necessary.

Q3: Can I break my lease if I need to get out?

The laws about breaking your lease will vary from state to state and may also vary depending on who you are renting from. You will want to make sure you are familiar with any lease you sign regarding early termination. Some property managers require a termination fee, especially since a tenant leaving early means they have an empty rental property to fill sooner than they had planned.

Check with your property manager or landlord for the specific terms for your rental home.

Q4. What should I mainly look for when renting a house?

The monthly rent amount or your ideal budget is what should be considered as the most important factor before you rent a house. Carefully calculate how much you will have left after paying the rent and the utility bills of the rented house. Remember, too, that many landlords or property managers require that you make 2 or 3 times more than the rental income each month for you to qualify for a rental property.

For your first month, keep in mind that you will have to shell out the first month’s rent along with the security deposit.

Q5: Who is responsible for maintenance at the rental property?

This will vary from place to place and depending upon your lease agreement. Unless stated otherwise, the tenant is generally responsible for things like yard maintenance, snow removal, keeping the home clean, and perhaps some minor repairs like replacing lightbulbs, etc.

In most cases, maintenance needs that come up that are not a result of tenant damage or negligence would be covered and handled by the property manager or landlord. Maintenance needs that come up as a result of tenant damage or negligence must also be reported to the landlord who will likely still handle the repair, but the cost will be the responsibility of the tenant. Make sure you are familiar with your specific lease agreements regarding home maintenance and repairs.

Q6. What is my first step after I found a house?

As soon as the current tenant moves out, there is a transition period where All Property Services, Inc. performs a final walkthrough to ensure the carpets have been cleaned, the property is clean, and any repairs are completed.

You must fill out all the paperwork, but refrain from signing anything before understanding the terms and conditions of the renter’s application.

Get all your questions answered about the rent, maintenance, increases in the rent amount, late rent payment policy, and more.
