Rent.com's Guide to Apartments for Rent near Phoenix, AZ
Choosing Where to Rent in Phoenix
Do you want to live in an apartment with easy
access to popular nightlife spots and public transportation? Do you prefer
quiet neighborhoods with parks? Did you just change jobs? Do you want to live
close to outdoor recreational areas with hiking, golf, and pro athletes
coming to town for spring training, or maybe near an Old West ghost town and
local cultural heritage museums? Sometimes moving is as much about finding
yourself as it is about finding a place to rent. Fortunately, online
apartment finders can help you speed through some of the soul searching and
get right to great property listings for rent in Phoenix.
Rent: Contracts, Negotiations, and Fluctuations
Signing a rent agreement is an act of entering
into a business contract. You and your landlord both have obligations to each
other outlined in the lease. Understanding your agreement and holding up your
end of the bargain is the best way to maintain a good tenant-landlord
relationship. If anything is unclear in the contract, be sure to ask for
clarification before signing anything.
Rent is
almost always a set amount that is not negotiable. There are, however, some
elements of your rent agreement that may be negotiable. Some listings do not
specify whether they are pet friendly but if you talk to the landlord you may
be able to agree on a fee or deposit to allow you to have a pet on the
premises. Painting walls in rental properties can be a big no-no. But some
property managers, if asked, will permit painting on the condition you
repaint it white when you move out. Other managers repaint as a matter of
course when tenants move out so they may not mind but you should check first.
What you don't want to do is paint first and ask later because you may be in
violation of your lease and you don't want to jeopardize your tenancy.
Keep in mind that some rental properties run
promotional offers such as "first month free" or seasonal discounts on rent.
This can be a rewarding bonus when you find a great apartment rental but make
sure you understand what the cost of rent will be after the promotion has
ended.
Check out Rent.com's $100 Reward Card offer also,
which rewards you for using Rent.com® to find your new home through listings
that feature the promotion.
