Landlord question: please renovate our 30-yr old house! How to ask?
My husband and I are renting the perfect size house for us in a seemingly perfect neighborhood. We don’t want to move b/c we are getting a great deal on the rent compared to local mortgages.
We are slightly interested in renting to own, and so is our landlord. He is really nice but lives far away from us, so he can’t get out to the house much. In fact, he hasn’t been to the house in the last 5 years!
We know the prevous two renters and go to church with them. The same carpeting, kitchen cabinets, kitchen appliances and light fixtures have been in the house since it was built and we are so embarrassed when company comes over, but we don’t think we should have to pay to replace all that, especially if we don’t decide later to buy the house.
How can we ask our landlord to renovate it? Obviously we wouldn’t ask for it all to be done at once- just knowing he will change it would help us feel better. Should we ask? When do we ask? Any ideas?

offer to increase your monthly rent so the landlord will have a reasonable return on his property
U zou de plaats moeten kopen, en een contract van verkoop is een goede manier om het (hoewel ik zou hopen dat na daar vijf jaar geleefd te hebben, u genoeg geld zou bespaard hebben om het helemaal te kopen) te doen. Een contract van verkoop is een volkomen redelijke manier te werk te gaan, maar de administratie is complex aangezien het twee afzonderlijke overeenkomsten met zich meebrengt: de huurovereenkomst, en de optie te kopen. Een deel van de administratie zou een Mededeling van Optie moeten uitvoeren en registreren, die potentiële kopers op bericht zou zetten dat u daar eerst werd. Als u aren' t vertrouwd met dit, het best om een advocaat te zien; Ik kon dit zonder één, maar I' doen; ve rond het blok een tijd of twee en weet waar de organismen worden begraven.
Definitely ask. Since you are on a buy-to-own lease, the landlord will most likely want a higher rent rate in exchange for the improvements. This way you will be the ones paying for the improvements, but if you decide not to buy, the next tennant will pick up the cost.
It would be unreasonable to ask him to improve it and keep paying the same rent.
Was meine Eltern taten, war; Bearbeiten Sie ein Abkommen auf den Reparaturen, WENN, Sie die Arbeit tun können, der Hauswirt abziehen die Materialien weg von der Miete, möglicherweise einige bearbeiten auch. Sie verbessert das Haus. Miete zu Selbst abhängt vom Hauswirt. Wenn können Sie, näherten Eltern ihrem Hauswirt (ihm war ein guter Mann), er sagen " wow! wenn Sie das Haus kaufen möchten, lassen wir gerade, was Sie auf Miete gehen in Richtung zum Anzahlung " gezahlt! Dann ausarbeiteten sie die Details für Interesse, Verkaufspreis und Zahl von Jahren nd.
Zu bitten; " Sein Sie zu Blabla – Blabla – Blabla bereit, wenn wir das labor" tun? " Tun Sie eine Miete zu eigenem und wie Sie möchten this" bearbeiten;? " Wurde Sie lassen Sie etwas von unserer Miete in Richtung zum Anzahlung " gehen;? Viele älteren Menschen, können sehr zuvorkommende, jüngere Leute sein können zu gierig sein.
