Rented Houses

Carol asks…

Can one break tenancy agreement for a rented home?

I am wondering what is the penalty if a tenancy agreement is broken for a rented house by the tenant. There may be many genuine reasons this may happen to people and I haven’t seen a lot of details on what penalty is charged if it is done by the tenant. RTBA gives a handbook that tells only when the agreement is on, not on ending it prematurely. Any details on this?

answers:

You are responsible for the rent until the lease is complete. You may find that a real estate will allow someone else to take over the lease however this person must be approved by the landlord and you will be liable for the costs on finding the new tenant. You are also responsible for the rent until they find someone to take over.

Paul asks…

Living in a rented house want to decorate bedroom wall?

Can’t paint it or put nails in it, any cheap DIY ways of making a blank magnolia wall more interesting. Links and pictures appreciated! I Iove indie/alternative rock music eg. Modest mouse the pixies, bright eyes etc. Love fashion and art. Want to make something to do with this. I have three large posters on the walls 1 breakfast at tiffanys poster 1 cassablanca poster and 1 holiday poster for huntington beach.

answers:

Hang a quilt rack (forgot no nails) maybe cement nails……I was gonna say to hang one of your grandparents or just a quilt of your liking on the wall to match the things you already have,but that’s a hard question when you can’t paint or hang…another would be to frame your fav. Posters and prop in the corners or along side the wall, maybe a big easil with one proped on it …good luck and sorry I couldn’t help out more…

Steven asks…

I live in a rented student house with 3 other students. By law what fire safety equipment should be provided?

I do not think that the rented student house I live in meets the requirement set by government law and policy on fire safety. Please could someone point me in the direction of the correct policy or law I should look at or if you know what fire safety equipment should be provided?
I live in the UK – sorry for not putting this earlier!

answers:

Since you haven’t said where you are, no-one will be able to answer your question properly.

Laws are not universal – they vary from place to place!

There might be national, state or local laws governing such things in some places. There are not here, as far as I know.

Linda asks…

What happens to furniture left it a rented house after the tenants move?

My guess is that the landlord can do whatever they want with it, but I’m verifying.

answers:

Check your state’s landlord tenant laws …. You have to store it for a certain amount of time, then you can sell it, deduct the storage fees, and use the rest to pay for the damages and back rent.

James asks…

I have two houses, one I live in the other will be rented, tax wise, whats the best way to do it?

The one I live in has higher property taxes than the one I rent, what is the best way to report this on the income tax?
What if I say I live at the rented property and I rent the house I currently live in? Would there be a tax deduction

answers:

I am at a loss as to what your question is. You may write off things you do to your rental, taxes, maintenance, vacancy, landscape services, property management fees and other things as allowed by the current tax codes.

As for your residence, you may write off the taxes, interest and any points and fees allowed by the current tax laws.

You should contact your tax consultant concerning any tax matters on both your rental as well as your residence.

I hope this has been of some use to you, good luck.
