A Survivors Guide to Living in Las Vegas Condo Rentals

Thinking of living in one of the Las Vegas condo rentals currently available? You’re looking forward to it but unsure of what to do to make certain your experience is a good one?

Certainly we all know there are potential problems to avoid when you’re a tenant. Makes no difference whether you are renting Las Vegas condos, apartments or houses even. Savvy renters have a choice. They can either learn this the hard way from first hand experience or benefit from the experience of others.

First there is the lease. Don’t blindly sign it assuming all leases for Las Vegas condo rentals are identical. They’re not. Take the time to read it to know what you are agreeing to as written in the lease. Make sure you understand and that any questions get answered to your satisfaction.

Look into the neighborhood. Check it out at different times of day. Do you feel safe? Does the building seem secure? Bothering with this is too much for some who may come to regret it.

Find out what percent of the units in the complex are current Las Vegas condo rentals. Paradoxically less is more since property owners tend to be more stable and take better care of the place. Also see if the city has any crime stats about the neighborhood.

With any Las Vegas rentals you want to do a walkthrough - before you move in. Make notes about what doesn’t work or needs fixing on the lease. Then get a commitment from the manager to fix what needs fixing.

Maintain a professional relationship with the owner. That means getting everything in writing. Even if you’ve only seen Judge Judy on TV a few times you should know many problems stem from verbal agreements.

Realize that the landlord isn’t responsible for your stuff. Get renters insurance.

Who pays utilities with this Las Vegas rental? If they’re included in the rent then no problem. If not see if you can examine past months bills to get an idea of what to expect. Also will you have to make a deposit with the utility company. If so how much?

Bottom line - can you afford it? If the rent and whatever utilities you have to pay for the Las Vegas condo exceed 30% of your income that should raise a red flag. Also if you and a roommate are moving in can you cover the whole cost should your roommate bail on you?
