4 TIPS FOR RENTING YOUR FIRST APARTMENT IN MALLORCA -- A Unique Mallorca Real Estate SL
You have landed a good job, saved up some money and are ready to rent an apartment for the first time, moving out of your relative's or parents’ home. It is important that you leave the nest on a strong footing. Here are four excellent tips for renting your first apartment in Mallorca.
1. Budget Smart And Avoid Hassles Know how much you can pay for your rent upfront without putting unnecessary financial pressure on yourself. It is incredibly important that you be certain you can afford the cost of rent which should ideally should be less than 30 percent of your total income. In some instances, reasonable fees may be levied for late payments, but this should be expressly included in your lease or rental contract.
2. Impress Your Prospective Landlords Be prepared to show a proof of your income, dates of employment, employer and any other important detail that will prove you have an income. • Have two bank accounts-one checking and another for your savings. Demonstrate that you are a suave financial planner by getting your first three months’ rent covered. • Look for someone who may agree and willing to cosign for you and come along with him or her. Ensure that you have a co-signer agreement ready so that dates and signatures will be the only thing that you need. • Bring along contacts of at least two people who are willing to be your character references. They may be your teachers, friends or mentors.
Ask Questions before Signing Your Lease Agreement 3. Ensure that you have understood what is written on the lease agreement before signing it. Ask questions and seek clarifications before signing a lease. One-time fees for such things as pets, security and utility deposits may quickly add up to about $4000. However, if you can abide by the rules and take care of the property, there is no reason why you should not get all or most of your deposit back.
4. Moving In Thoroughly inspect your new apartment and note down your concerns or need for repairs on the renter's inspection worksheet. You can then notify the property owner of those issues to be fixed right away. As a tenant, you have a right to live in a habitable environment, so you and your property owner should expressly agree on maintenance responsibilities. To be on the safe side, ensure that every agreement is put down in writing.
