HOW TO RENT YOUR HOME OUT

Before making the final decision to offer your home for private rental, consult local building and zoning authorities to see if any restrictions apply in your area. Also check your mortgage documents, if any, to see if there are restrictions on renting out your home while you're still paying off a mortgage.

Set your monthly rental rate after checking the competition is charging for similar properties in your area.

Advertise your property to attract applicants. Internet site such as GoByOwners.com can assist with that, including a free classified ad option with one photo.

Prepare a rental lease for the property, or purchase one. Make sure it spells out specific terms and conditions. A lease is designed to protect the legal rights of both the tenant and the landlord.

When prospective tenants contact you, do an initial interview over the phone to determine suitability.Then ask further questions you may have while you are showing them your property.

Accept their application and their security deposit then do the necessary credit checks and personal checks. Check the rental references of applicants, too. Then select tenants for the property in a non-discriminatory manner.

Review the terms of the lease with the successful applicants to make sure they understand all the conditions before they sign.

And on the day they move in, do a "walk-through" of the property with your tenants and have them initial a "property-condition report" that verifies the current condition of the property.

HOW TO RENT FROM A PRIVATE HOME OWNER

One of the easiest ways to narrow your search fast is to use the Internet. Type in a search term such as "private rental properties" or "rental properties by owner", then at the sites that come up type in your zip code or the city you're interested in.

Make a short list of possible homes to rent that fit your needs (number of bedrooms, access to transport and schools, etc).

Phone the owners to discuss the property and get your questions answered. If the property sounds like a good prospect, make an appointment to see the home.

Dont fill out any application form until after you have seen the property. You will need your rental history and credit references to complete the application.

Ask how the landlord handles repairs, emergencies and routine maintenance. Before you move in, make sure these things have been agreed in writing preferably in the rental agreement.

Before you sign a lease to start a tenancy, it is advisable to know your legal rights and responsibilities as a tenant, and those of the landlord.

Finally, a tip to help protect your credit rating. Provide the landlord with a current copy of your credit report so each landlord does not have to request one because that will negatively affect your credit rating.
