▲ 17 r/renting
Realtor says I'm being nitpicky because I want unclear sentences in the lease to be fixed. Tell me I'm not crazy.
These are add ons to a standard fill in the blank lease. I don't think I am wrong for wanting sentences to make sense, specifically the items in bold.
- Premises shall be maintained in a good, clean condition, and treated, if needed, regularly mopped, vaccuumed, etc.
- No items shall be left outside the tenant's rental unit, including areas.
I sort of get what they are implying, but is it wrong to want correct English in a legal document? The owner's realtor said well this is what the lawyer wrote and I don't know if they will change it.
The last realtor we were dealing with the week before tried to collect an illegal extra $2500 deposit, sent no lease for five days, then sent five leases (because he kept "forgetting to add things") in 24 hours.
I had no idea renting a house would be so difficult. This is the worst part of the moving process so far. Is this normal? Am I being too picky?
