hi,
so my tenant who has been with us for 4 years just let us know she is moving out of the country and is leaving June 5th. Her lease was up July 1st – so she rents a 2 br 1.5 bath fully renovated nice duplex with w/d/dw on 14th street and 6th ave for $2500 – we are thinking of listing it for June 15th move in for $2800. Will I get serious interest? How long can I expect to have this apt sit empty…. or am I overpricing?
Ruthanne…ill call you when the apt is available. My building is located very close to your office. ginger’s bar building.

some local libraries carry nolo books.
if one branch doesn’t have it maybe the librarian can get it from another one.
.
The Nolo Press book is out of print, which is probably why the Amazon prices are so high. Their books are usually $25-30. Might be worth contacting them directly (www.nolo.com).
Those books are almost $700.00 on Amazon, was that a mistake?
I’ve said this before:

It pretty much covers everything.
Your apartment sounds really nice. I don’t believe it will take that long to rent it.
My biggest concern is renting the apartment as soon as possible. That said, I usualy price the apartments a little below market rate. I rent them myself and post the apartments on craigslist. I usualy rent the apartment within a day. Rarly does it remain on the market for 2 or more days. My apartments (6 apt’s) are in prime park slope which may be the reason.
I don’t do a credit check which is not that smart. I should take katiem633 (3:51) advice. Luckly I never had to go to court and I have been a landlord since 1992.
Additionaly, I don’t agree with the post made by 4:22. I have rented one of my apartments to a very good friend (we have been friends since high school), and he has been a model tenant. He even keeps an eye on the building when I am away.
I will have an apartment available soon and would probably list it with a broker this time. I don’t have the patients to list the apartment and show it. Id rather have a broker do the footwork and the credit check at this time.
In-law trouble, eh, 4:22?
If a man is known by the company he keeps, and the man won’t rent to said company, what does it say about him?
don’t believe any documents that a prospective tenant might show you other than a govt. id. If you use a broker, run your own eployment and credit reports. NEVER rent to friends or friends of family. If you rent to family,only rent to relatives that are related by blood.
No kidding – this ain’t no cbgb’s, this ain’t no fooling around
