Renters Unite: Better Together

by | The Hunt | 0 comments

Renter. If you aren’t one of them, chances are you have friends, family, or co-workers who are. Over 108 million US residents lived in rentals in 2018. It is a massively diverse group of people, all united by a title, “renter”.

Meet the Team

On team renter, 10% will spend at least half of their paycheck on rent. 30 million children will dream big in properties their guardians don’t own. It’s a resilient team. As rents continue to rise, team renter perseveres. Renters adapt and press on, all in the name of flexibility, freedom of homeownership responsibilities, and personal preference. 

Renters are the cheetahs of the real estate world. In a market where the gap between supply and demand is narrow, prospective renters must be fast and agile. They must be ready to pounce at the first indication that a property could meet their needs. However, once they find a rental, the ball is now in someone else court. Though strong in numbers collectively, independently renters lack the competitive advantage. Landlords are empowered to carefully screen renters before entrusting them with their investment. However, renters don’t have the means to screen the rental property. From the landlord who holds copies of your keys, to the integrity of the property, much of what renters sign for is based on blind trust.

Strategy Change: Renters Unite

Renters, we need a better game plan. When it comes to what we are signing a legal binding contract for, our strategy shouldn’t be hope. But the solution is simple. When we unite, we don’t need to settle. Together we can empower landlords who value good tenants and maintain their property. 

With a competitive rental market, there’s no time to waste on research when a rental seems perfect. RentalDiaries.com understands this and is working hard to bridge the gap between the research you need and the time you don’t have. When renters unite, the shared experiences of every renter should only be a few clicks away.

The wiring was very wacky so I was paying for the neighbors dryer and most of their home electricity…which is fine if you have cool neighbor who will make sure it gets covered, but they were throwing me ten bucks a month when i was covering most of their bill. Then plumbing issues occurred. When my neighbors used their toilet it would come up my tub and vice versa….our living situation was UNBELIEVABLE.
