Hi family and welcome to my blog. The subject matter for this entry entails renting a house and what I look out for.
I am quite sure that the dream of every individual is to have a landed property which is furnished to an extent where it can accommodate one. I would like to counsel that everyone should aspire to be a house owner rather than being a mature tenant. In this post, I will share the situation or how rent culture is seen in my area.
There is peculiarity and differences in our various terrains and locations which most at times determines how landed property is treated. Whichever is the case I would like to share what happened in my area in terms of renting a house. Personally I don't like jumping from one house to another rather look for something better and stay for a while. I can boldly say since I packed into the tenant house where I am currently occupying, I have never relocated elsewhere and is clocking to almost ten years now. I made some attempts a few years ago but everything proved abortive because I couldn't see what suits my taste even though some inflicted prices are too high.
In renting a house, there are things i normally look out for. The first thing I considered very significant is the serenity of the environment and compound. I wouldn't want where everywhere is just exposed without any fence or enclosed place that would be habitable for children up bringing. When I don't see such a compound, it would register to me that such an environment might not be suitable for my kids. A good environment promotes good morals. I have seen lots of children that were influenced by negative things as a result of the kind of compound they lived in. I detest the noisy area and where apartments are too close to each other.
Though most landlords in my area build houses that are clustered to each other so that they can make more money at the expense of the tenant.
Another fundamental thing i would look out for is how spacious is the compound? I have other skills that I seek for expression and getting a spacious compound will help my wife to put into practice those things. For instance my wife like poultry and fishing. This is a petty business that one could easily get involved to solve some menial needs that may come up. I also need a house where is source of water. With the experience of water challenge I had when I was growing in one of the local stations we stayed, I wouldn't want for any reason joke with water source. A 25 litter of water now is alarming and very expensive. If there's no water, life would be very difficult to navigate through.
Presently I have some tenants in our family house and I must confess that virtually all of them that I knew were like God sent. They are very accommodating, friendly and empathetic. The first three sets of tenants that stayed in our house today have moved to the houses they built. I think this is a good testimony to be shared. I don't like tenants that one will be struggling with to pay their rent and even take care of the house. There are certain tenants that are negative in all things they do.
My singular prayer always is that God will grant us resources to build and stay in our own houses.
Thanks for reading through my entry. All comments appreciated.
