Things You Need to Know If You’re Planning to Buy a House
Buying a home is so exciting. However, we often find that our tenants do not thoroughly understand their current leases’ notice provisions and end of lease obligations. This can cause some confusion and frustration, so before you move forward buying a home, please call us first.
Here are a few things to think about if you are a tenant thinking about buying a home:
We Can Help You Buy a New Home in the Orlando and Central Florida Area.
The Realty Medics can help you buy your new home? By coordinating all of your real estate needs under one roof, we can help you review your current lease provisions, handle communication with your landlord, negotiate your new home purchase and try to align all of these dates and tasks as much as possible so that you have a smooth and seamless move out and move in.
We know your lease provisions (we drafted them!); we know your landlords and their expectations and we know the Orlando real estate market (15 years in the business and counting). Let us help you!
Tenants Also Have “End of Lease” Obligations
Once again, look to your Lease Agreement. You will see an end of lease section that discusses professionally steam cleaning carpets, professionally cleaning the home, turning the home back to its original state, turning over all keys, and more.
You are responsible for maintenance and utilities through the end of the lease term, even if you move out early. Utilities must remain on in the home in your name through the last date on the lease.
If you are leaving the property vacant for a long time, be sure to notify your property manager and, perhaps, a neighbor so that they can look out for the property in your absence.
As a Tenant, You Must Follow the Breaking Your Leases ADDENDUM
If you are still in the initial term of your lease, your breaking the lease fee and notices are listed in the lease addendum’s.
If you are in the month to month phase (after your initial term expires), we may be able to help sooner.
Please read these provisions before you get into a purchase contract or a new lease agreement. By knowing your lease, this will reduce a lot of stress later.
Give us a call if you are unsure; let’s review together to prevent any misunderstandings.
