Re: Re: Choosing a New Appartment and Signing a Lease

Kathy,

I've had lots of clients succeed in getting a clause to leave if they

later find it not habitable for them. The key is to first find a

landlord or property manager who will agree - in writing. If they

sign it they will honor it.

The second is to not be precise to mold or allergies or pesticides.

If you specify then they will want proof of that SPECIFIC cause

and only that cause. Make it general so it is determined solely by

yourself. Habitability is now an accepted term of art most

everywhere. 20 years ago it wasn't but I see it even in some

legislation now.

There's no way of knowing if a landlord is honest unless it's a friend. You

could ask to talk to previous or current tenants.

You get one of those moisture meters to test the walls & ceilings. Only

other way is to run tests.

If you find something nice, ask for a copy of their lease & read it over 1st.

Some have things written in that would surprise you.

Has anyone been successful w a clause if react due to allergies, could

break the lease if became a problem?

I agree, if you are complicated they want nothing to do with you. I couldn't

even do a building because even if they applied it next door like last time I

still got poisoned.  They simply do not care.  

God Bless !!

I have had to move many times since I became ill and I never tell the landlords.

Seems like they don't want people with a problem. The people at my current place

know I have a problem with chemicals, etc. but I didn't tell them in the

beginning. I don't let exterminators in and don't need them. I don't think too

many complexes are going to go that extra mile for us. Sad to say.
