Ten Tips for Finding a Rental Home1. Eat all the chocolate you want! The stress of house hunting causes extreme calorie leakage. 2. Be sure to obtain a current map. New streets and communities are being added all over town. Go to our neighborhood link to learn more about the varied Metro area neighborhoods. 3. If you have a pet, bring references for your pet. Examples are as follows. Letters recommending the pet from former landlords and/or realtors whom have seen the home where the pet resided. List of obedience classes attended by the pet. Phone numbers of former pet sitters or veterinarian. 4. Some school district boundaries change yearly. Be sure to check a school boundary with the local Public School District. Also check for the location of private and religious schools. 5. The utility company will provide a 12-month cost history free of charge for an address. Some areas have propane tanks. Be sure to find out who supplies the propane for a home. 6. Ask who provides water, sewer and trash pick-up. 7. Directions are given in Albuquerque by section of town. There are four sections: Northeast, Northwest, Southeast, and Southwest. Interstate 25 divides East from West; Central Ave. divides South from North. 8. Save a lot of time by driving past a home before making an appointment to see the home. Many homes can quickly be eliminated. 9. The Sunday Albuquerque Journal is the best place to begin looking for a home. The classified ads also contain ads for rental web sites and property management companies. The Journal is online at abqjournal.com. Section 1636 is unfurnished homes. 10. Ask about move-in specials. Some owners will give incentives for a mid-month move in or longer leases. |
