Well here's the other side of the coin, for argument's sake. I've heard stories of agents working with buyers for weeks or months. The buyers choose a home this agent showed them, only they decide to sign the purchase agreement using a different agent who agrees to share their...

don't expect to get your full deposit back. one of the final few pages of that 36 page lease agreement mentions what you can expect to pay for your final move out expenses. Unless you're willing to go to war over what "normal wear and tear" is, it's best to just let them have the few hundred...

goodluck...let me know how it turns out

Mojo, that seems reasonable. It may just be a matter of catching the manager in a good mood. I recommend approaching them at the end of the week. They are graded on Monday-Sunday performance. If their numbers look scary toward the weekend, they may dread the thought of taking 1 more notice...

Recently I've heard more and more about IAC cutting good deals on renewals - deep discounts off your current rent, weeks free if you agree to an X month renewal, etc. I'm surprised because it's not typically their MO. While it's looking like you may be able to carve out a nice deal on your...

earthbm, i don't know if it's too late or not, but that Ducati is NOT safe in a VS underground parking structure. VS has a long history of motorcycle thefts and vandalism in the underground parking structures. In fact a little over a year ago no less than 180 cars were keyed in one...

I don't know that it is. By the looks of the listing it was on the market for 38 days and sold for $699k. The public record shows the sale for $231,955 but notice the mortgage on the public record shows a conventional mortgage of $417,000. The listing agent got both sides of the transaction...

I see, Wendy. I've heard that before and that's the case of the on-site staff deciding to deviate from normal procedure (maybe they just don't know any better, but whoever recommended that could potentially lose their job for telling you how to circumvent IAC practices). If they assure you...

It's a common practice among IAC properties to not honor the "new move in specials" for existing customers. They have to make a distinction between new and existing tenants. They need a reason to justify their new marketing campaign without having to take it in the shorts from their existing...

It's risky. IAC has a standard, no sublease policy...you qualified for that apartment and received those terms based on your credit/financial situation. They won't allow a substitution. If you include IAC in the process you are going "rent responsible." Many properties offer this option...

I've heard some people are beginning to ask to see a canceled check of an owner's most recent mortgage payment. He may laugh at you, but you did provide him with an app and credit report. If you are well qualified, it doesn't seem like too much to ask in return.

I have visited Sonoma and I like it. I don't have any experience living there, though. There is one place you can go to hear all the negative things about any apartment community (i say that because this website tends to attract people with an axe to grind). But wander on over to...

Do us a favor and let us know how it turns out. I'm curious to see what you can come away with.

I would be shocked if they agreed to anything close to that. IAC doesn't really operate like a car dealership. While you and I can make the argument that it's better to have someone paying $2100/mo than nobody paying anything per month, they don't see it that way. They protect their...

VS = don't plan on bringing more than 2 cars, keep your bikes inside your apartment, don't lock them in the underground garage. I don't think I would consider this one "student friendly." Last I heard VS did not accept cosigners or guarantors; the actual occupants have to qualify on their own...
