Tips for Renting Out your Condo
Know your condo association restrictions
Look out for renting deal-breakers such as limitations on the length of lease terms and on whether pets are allowed. Also, check if the current ratio or rented and non-rented condos will accommodate your condo in case the condominium association has put a limit to the number of units that can be rented out at any given time.
Review the condo rental approval process
You’ll have to go through a rental approval process to rent out your condominium. It usually involves having the prospective renter complete an application form and submit both financial information and references. In some case, a fee will be required and the tenant may be subjected to an interview. In addition to reviewing the bylaws, make sure you contact a board member to ensure you’re not in violation of association rules.
Make sure your tenant understands the rules
As an owner, you’re responsible for making sure the tenants abide by the condo’s rules. The best way to accomplish this is to include a clause in the lease that talks on adhering to association rules.
