Have you heard the one about the renters who paid their rent on time yet were thrown out of their home? There's got to be a catch, you're thinking. They had to be loud and unruly, maintaining a nuisance house? Parents of crazy teenagers? Owners of menacing pets that barked constantly - all hours of the day and night? Oh yeah, they paid the rent, but not the HOA fees! Well...NO, no, no, and no. None of these were the case. In fact, these were ideal tenants that paid on time, maintained the owner's/landlord's property, and got along wonderfully with their neighbors.
The landlord did a great job of screening the tenants. Unfortunately the tenants didn't screen the landlord well enough.
Come to find out, the tenants were paying rent as agreed, but the landlord was not paying his mortgage as he agreed to do at closing. Therefore, the $2500 per month that the tenants paid was going straight into their landlord's pocket and no further! The tenants and all of their belongings were thrown out into the street, literally, by the bank holding the landlord's mortgage. And guess what, the tenants in this case, had no recourse, other than to seek alternate shelter.
Unbelievable, but oh so true.
If you are a renter, know a renter, or, more importantly!, will soon be a renter, you need to protect yourself and your family.
If you want more information on how to screen your landlord, call me...it's what I do.

Successfully Moving Houses in Maryland for Over 15 Years. Ask me about anything Bel Air...go ahead, ask!
I've been doing this real estate thing for over 15 years (that's right, I started when I was 9) and I've gained a wealth of experience and expertise in negotiations and, most importantly, spearheading smooth transactions. I enjoy meeting and working with the many diverse people I deal with on a daily basis and I look forward to working with my next client (could it be you?) towards a successful closing! Visit me to find out more.
I specialize in marketing and selling homes in the Harford County area of Maryland. These areas include Bel Air, Abingdon, 
Belcamp/Riverside, Edgewood, Joppa, Darlington, Street, Jarrettsville, Fallston, Forest Hill, Aberdeen, Havre de Grace, and Churchville. My marketing plan involves extensive internet exposure including impressive virtual tours and links to web sites that ensure my sellers' homes are seen by as many qualified potential buyers as possible. Add to that the fact that I work in concert with my sellers to affect a win for both buyer(s) and seller(s).
My goal is to get to the settlement table (that is, afterall, the goal of both sides!) with absolutely no bloodshed.
Seriously, I aspire to keep all sides informed throughout the process and nip all problems in the bud so as to keep the drama to an absolute minimum. I recognize the fact that while I do this everyday, my sellers (and buyers) do this only once or twice a lifetime--therefore, I bring my expertise to the table to affect a smooth transaction.
Oh yeah--my admittedly weird sense of humor doesn't hurt, either...
The links below have been added for your convenience. Check them out.
Blah, blah, blah...yada, yada, yada...
Drop me a quick line, call me, or drop by my place to find out more about me, for Pete's sake!
Who's Pete, anyway?
