Newport, RI Stiffens Fire Safety Requirements for AirBnB PropertiesThe Summer of '18 was a distressing one for many AirBnB property owners in Newport, Rhode Island. Property owners across the city opened notices from the Building Inspector's office telling them they were not approved for registration as a short term rental. The reason? As a local AirBnB manager I have clients who received this notice. When they asked for more information they received this email from the Building Inspector's office in Newport: Be advised that unless you live within the dwelling unit while the renters are there it is considered a “change of use” under RI Building Code and therefore becomes subject to code upgrades equal to a hotel (R-1) including: but not limited to:Fire sprinkler systemUpgraded fire ala...

Should you let your tenant apply the security deposit to last month's rent? Moving is expensive, whether you're moving into a new home or moving from one apartment to the next. A tenant has to come up with first month's and a security deposit in Rhode Island, and in Massachusetts they might have to have both first and last month's rent PLUS a security deposit PLUS a lock change fee. Most of us don't have large sums of cash in the bank meaning it's a scramble to get ready for the new spot. Tenants often as the landlord if the landlord will apply the security deposit to the last month's rent so that the tenant can pay for the next place. What should you do? Generally speaking, DON'T DO IT!Applying the security deposit to the last month's rent can be a big help for Tenant's but it has NO b...

Rhode Islander's LOVE their pets and we'd do just about anything to have them be happy and healthy. In Newport more than half of all residents are renters, whether they're military families, summer residents here for work or play, college students attending one of the local universities, or those who live and work on the island year round. In my experience more people have pets than don't. Not surprisingly many, if not most,  Landlords have "no pet" policies" due to the damage that is caused in some cases. But that can narrow down the pool of possible renters and cause unwanted vacancies. Many landlords will find themselves working with pet owners in order to fill vacancies, and this blog is about ways you can minimize your risk.  Security Deposit vs. Pet Deposit: Rhode Island law state...

Nothing is more stressful, for either the landlord or the tenant, than the end of lease conversations around the return of a security deposit. The tenant is worried about what the landlord is going to withhold, and the landlord is worried about the condition of the apartment and the oftentimes acrimonious conversations with the former tenant around condition of the apartment and the cost to make it rentable again.This blog is for Tenants. What can you do to ensure you get most if not ALL of your security deposit back? There's a LOT you can do, and it all starts with treating the apartment with respect and care, just as if it were YOUR home!State laws vary, but in Rhode Island the landlord has 20 days from the date she receives ALL keys back from the tenants AND a forwarding address in w...
