Landlords.?

Question

would u take 3 months in advance? I want to call my land lady tomorrow and ask her if i can pay 3 months in advance. Like August September and Octobers rent. We just moved in here and it is our first month. would you take the offer no? Do u think i will sound ridiculous asking her this?

Answer 1

I don't think its a stupid question to ask however.  Consider this if you call her and tell her you would like to pay 3 months in advance she might think you have a lot of money and could potentially raise your rent sometime down the road.  I would suggest just holding onto your money and paying each month on time.

Answer 2

I don't think it is rediculous. I will be moving into a new house on the 1st and I plan on doing the same thing. Although some landlords don't allow this because of things that might happen in those few months. For example, if they legally kicked you out for something they may have already spent the money and they would have to come up with it to give it back for the months you paid, but didn't live there. Or they might have bad spending habbits and might be afraid of spending all that money at once. Instead of using it for the months they would have recieved it had you not paid in advance. It's worth a shot though. I would ask  anyways just in case. You never know until you try. Good Luck!!!

Answer 3

We have lots of renters who travel and pay in advance. You could also set up an automatic debit from your checking account.

Answer 4

Why would you do it?

I have renters who pay several weeks to  1 month in advance. I do not mind...I just have to do a JE every month to "move it."

Why would you want to pay for 3 months in advance...?
