YOU HAVE AN EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMAL...HOW DOES THAT IMPACT YOUR SEARCH FOR A RENTAL?

Emotional Support Animals (ESAs) are becoming more and more common in recent years.

10 SIGNS THE LANDLORD OF THE RENTAL YOU’RE INTERESTED IN WILL BE A PROBLEM

Markets can be funny things with lots of gravitational pull. With real estate prices so high and little sign of them coming down, rental prices have also risen dramatically. Financial responsibilities and obligations of rental property owners, like everything these days, continue to increase and ultimately it comes out as higher rents. Ideally, this also leads to higher quality rentals…but that’s not always the case.
