🤝 Are rent concessions negotiable?

Short answer: YES. Landlords aren’t handing out rent deals just for fun, but if the market is slow or units are sitting empty, you’ve got bargaining power. 🏢💸

Think of it like haggling at a flea market, except instead of a vintage lamp, you’re negotiating a free month of rent or waived fees. 🕯️➡️🏠

So don’t be shy - just ask! Worst case, they say no. Best case, you save $$$ and brag to your friends about your negotiation skills. 😎📉

🎁 How long do rent concessions typically last?

So your landlord is offering a “special deal” and you’re wondering… is this a forever gift or just a short honeymoon phase? 🏡✨

Most rent concessions run for 1–3 months (usually at the start of the lease). After that, your rent snaps back to the regular rate - kind of like when the free trial ends and your card gets charged. 💳😅

The exact length always depends on the lease agreement, so read the fine print before you start planning victory pizzas with the “extra cash.” 🍕💸

📈 Can a landlord increase rent after 1 year?

It depends on your lease. 👀

Fixed-term lease (like 12 months)? They usually have to wait until it ends.

Month-to-month? Yep, rent hikes can roll in with proper notice. 📝

Rent control laws? Those can cap increases or slow them down. ⚖️

So it’s not always a straight “yes” or “no” - it’s more like “check your contract, then local law, then cry into your ramen.” 🍜💸Want to know how it really works (and what a proper increase notice looks like)? 👉 leaserunner.com/blog/rent-increase-letter 🏡

💸 Does reletting affect credit?

So your lease ends early and - surprise - there’s a reletting fee. 😬📑 Now you’re panicking: “Wait… is my credit score doomed?”

Here’s the deal:

Paying the fee? ✅ No impact on credit.

Ignoring it? 🚨 If it goes unpaid and lands in collections, that’s when it shows up and lingers for years. ⏳💳

So the fee itself doesn’t touch your credit - but skipping it can definitely leave a mark.

💔🏠 How long do broken leases stay on your credit?

Moving out early feels bad enough… but does it haunt your credit forever? 👻💳

Good news: a broken lease doesn’t always show up on your credit report. 🙏 Bad news: if your landlord sends it to collections, it can sit there for up to 7 years like an unwanted roommate you can’t evict. 😬⏳

So yeah, it’s not automatic - but when it hits, it sticks.

📊 Is a resident score the same as a credit score?

You’re filling out rental apps and suddenly - boom - “resident score.” 🤯 Wait… is that just credit score in a different outfit? 👔

Not quite. ⚡ 👉 Credit score = your financial life in numbers (loans, cards, payments). 👉 Resident score = a custom score landlords use, mixing your credit info plus rental history + screening data.

So if you’ve been a stellar tenant (hello, on-time rent ✨), your resident score might look better than your plain credit score. 🙌Want the full breakdown before your next application?

🏠 Do tenants have to have renter’s insurance for an apartment?

Law says: nope, it’s not legally required. ⚖️ Landlords say: “lol, actually yes.” 📝🔑

A lot of places won’t hand you the keys until you show proof — and honestly, it’s not just paperwork. It saves you from paying out of pocket if your upstairs neighbor floods the ceiling or your stuff pulls a vanishing act. 💦📦✨

So… not mandatory by law, but often non-negotiable in real life. Get the full scoop here 👉 leaserunner.com/renters-insurance 🛡️

🤔 What are the downsides of renter’s insurance?

Okay, let’s be real - it’s not all sunshine and unlimited protection. 🌤️🛡️

It won’t cover everything (sorry, your cursed vintage lamp might still be on its own). 🕯️👻

There’s a monthly cost (yes, adulting comes with subscriptions you didn’t ask for). 💸

Coverage limits exist — so your $3,000 gaming rig might need extra backup. 🎮⚡

Still, knowing the drawbacks is what makes you pick smarter coverage (instead of skipping it altogether and crying later). 🏠💡Wanna see the full picture? 👉 leaserunner.com/renters-insurance

📦 Moving into a new place?

Landlord: “Do you have renter’s insurance?” 🧐 You: …uh, what? 😅

Not every landlord requires it, but having it upfront = no key drama + protection if life (or leaky ceilings) gets messy. 🛡️💦

📝 What can void a three-day notice in California?

Can a tenant withhold rent for repairs?

"We don’t accept online payments anymore." Cool cool cool, let me just hop in my time machine and go find my checkbook from 2007. 🌀📎 But seriously - can a landlord just change how you pay rent… without asking? Short answer: Not without some rules. ✅ Landlords can update rent payment methods (like switching from Venmo to a rent portal or cutting off online payments completely)… 📄 But they usually need to give proper notice and update your lease. 🚫 No last-minute texts. No “btw, pay in cash now” vibes. Before it gets messy, know your rights + how to protect yourself: 👉 https://www.leaserunner.com/online-rental-application

Rent application red flags you shouldn't ignore:

“We don’t do written leases.”

“Just Venmo me the deposit, no receipts.”

“Background checks? Nah, trust vibes.” If it sounds sketchy, it probably is. Know the signs before it’s too late: https://www.leaserunner.com/online-rental-application
