Re: the money for the rent…we send the rent check on the 15th for the rent due the first.

Our son’s lease is the same regarding utilities. He is in charge of the utilities. It doesn’t matter to the landlord how many people are living there. The bills need to be paid. The tenants split those utility bills.

My kids’ leases both have something in them about notifying the landlord if anything breaks including appliances. However, the kids don’t pay for those repairs unless THEY damage the appliance. The landlord owns them.

I actually rented DS’s apartment for him and have a nice relationship with the rental agent and the handyman. So does DS.

DD’s is a different story. The kids did the wheeling and dealing. However, they researched the landlords in the area (not hard to do…just ask students who rent there…they are VERY honest) and this particular landlord is very responsive to his tenants, and takes excellent care of his properties.
