According to the state of Minnesota anyway.
I was reminded of this last night when I a unit tenants had recently vacated.
It was a mess. Everywhere my clients and I looked there were pieces of broken furniture, abandoned clothing, framed posters on the walls&#8230;
All of which needs to be stored [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In my years as a landlord, I&#8217;ve learned some tenants have no sense of time.
Rent would be due on the 1st. But that came and went, then it was the 5th, the 10th and, before I knew it, I was certain I was going to have to start eviction proceedings.
It&#8217;s always  just about then I finally get a rent check. [...]]]></description>

For a Realtor, that&#8217;s a synonym for busy.
As such, I am so focused on my career that sometimes I forget to do things in my own life.
Like renew leases.
When I realized I&#8217;d done this the other day, I panicked. I hate having a vacancy in winter, and live in fear of carrying one through the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you could swear you&#8217;re seeing fewer &#8220;For Rent&#8221; signs in area lawns and windows, you&#8217;re right.
A report by GVA Marquette Advisors released on Friday announced that Twin Cities vacancy rates dropped to 6.1 percent for the first three months of 2010.
This figure, while still historically high, represents a significant drop from last fall&#8217;s 7.3 percent vacancy rate.

		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;re living in economically challenging times.
As a result, most of us are cutting back on &#8220;extras&#8221;.  For some, that means opting to stay home and watch cable rather than going out.  To others, that may mean choosing to make a peanut buttersandwich  rather than bologna.
Unfortunately, for some tenants, that also means going without renter&#8217;s insurance.
First, if you&#8217;re [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In today&#8217;s affordable housing market, many Twin Cities duplex owners are getting THAT call from tenants.
You know the one. It starts with, &#8220;I bought a house and am moving out&#8221;.
Somehow, those tenants often forget they signed a lease, which may still have time left to run.
At that point, the landlord should remind the residents they [...]]]></description>

You know the ones. They may have stained or leaded glass windows, hardwood floors, and even a built-in buffet.
Some have a Jetsons-like feel to them, with two sided fireplaces in the living rooms and stone shelves jutting out from the just above the mantle.
Whether it&#8217;s a Craftsman era [...]]]></description>
