Description:
Text on white background, which reads, “Your single family home has a 2 car garage right? Let’s say you rent it out to a tenant right? Do you guys let the tenant park the vehicles inside the garage? Like I know it’s meant for that but what if they hit your house and don’t tell you? How do you go about this?”
It’s a perfectly reasonable concern, but it should already be priced into the rent. “Addons” like this are just blatant cash grabs under the veil of “giving the user options” but realistically it is driving up the cost for no reason as it is meant to be already priced into the fucking rent. Adding arbitrary prices is a lot of these passive income leaches and exasperated by large tech and industrial corporations.
Agreed. Tenants damaging your property is literally a risk of being a landlord. Just like it’s a risk when you let anybody use your stuff. That doesn’t mean you nickel and dime people, especially out of housing.
Isn’t the reasonable answer writing in damages fees into the contract, and then having photo documentation of various areas before the move in? That seems like it would be both reasonable and enforceable in most locations.
I suppose the real best answer for a would-be rental situation is to ask a local lawyer instead of Facebook.
That is for the insurance company to demand from the landlord that should cover certain scenarios, not for the renter to foot the bill on. It’s as if insurance exists for a reason. This is not a solution, it’s just penny pinching douchebaggery.
