Contents Of A Tenancy Program

By Wanda Rosner


Your privileges and duties as a tenant depend on the kind of tenancy arrangement one enters into with their landlord. A tenancy contract spells the kind of relationship both you and your landlord may have with respect to the contract. In almost any typical tenancy program, you will find some conditions and terms you are likely to find in a tenancy contract.

There are some standard terms that are usually required by the law regulating the rules of tenancy that be included in any tenancy contract. Whether these factors are included or not,they will be assumed to exist, and therefore applicable in case of disagreement. Always ensure you watch out for these terms before signing any tenancy contract. You can find information on these terms from the residential laws governing your state.

Your landlord is usually permitted by the law to have access to your credit information from the credit reference bureau. However, you will find that the landlord must obtain your written consent in regards to this. If you do not want to give the consent then the landlord can decide not to enter into a tenancy agreement with you.

A landlord may in the tenancy contract prohibit or restrict the size and number of pets you are allowed to have in the apartments. Sometimes a landlord may set park rules that regulate the presence of pets in the common areas within the building. This is particularly to protect other tenants who may be uncomfortable with your pets.

A common tenancy contract will also contain a clause regarding refundable and non-refundable fees that your landlord may charge you. Landlords are however prohibited from charging application fees or processing fees from their clients. Costs like the cost of keys, bank charges due to a cheque issued by a tenant bouncing and other necessary charges can be levied upon a tenant but within predetermined limits. The general rule is that a landlord charges no more than is necessary.

Most contracts contain a phrase referring to the privacy of a tenant. The clause will spell conditions to which a landlord can conduct a search in the home of a tenant. The rule is the fact that landlords respect the privacy of the tenants and cannot start request for private information from the client.

Your landlord can request you for your social security number if it is essential for reasons of revealing your true identity or performing a credit assessment. The golden rule is the fact that landlords do not require ample disclosure of private information like a condition for acknowledging or renewing the contracts of recent tenants. They ought to restrict themselves to simply what affects the tenancy contract and nothing more.

When dealing in the business of manufactured homes, a landlord may require a moving insurance cover. This is to ensure that there is a third party that can be held liable if there is any damage to the property in the course of the movement. You must be ready to prove it to your landlord that indeed you have an insurance before you can rent his property.
