Beware of Buying From a Divorced Couple

A divorce is never easy and a marriage break-up can be tense. When a couple gets divorced and they're trying to sell their home, its buyer, agent and everyone else beware according to MSN.com. In the United States there are approximately one million divorces a year. Most of the time there's a house that needs to be sold. Because of the divorce, these ex-couples are very motivated to sell and willing to accept below market offers. Sometimes, buyers are not even aware that there's a problem until the last minute. Many times, one spouse is very anxious to sell and the other is trying to break the deal either through revenge or unwillingness to sell. Other times, one spouse purposely delays the signing just to aggravate the other. Buyers find themselves in an agreement with one spouse and disagreement with the other. It's never an easy transaction to buy from a divorcing couple, but sometimes the deal does go smoothly and the deal can be a good one. If you're buying a house from a divorcing couple, make sure to call the Oklahoma movers to help you move.

Keep Your Landlord in Check

As a tenant, make sure to keep your landlord in check. Sometimes, the landlord/tenant relationship is a rocky one. The Oklahoma City movers, your local Oklahoma City moving company, suggests the following to keep your landlord in check. Renters, shouldn't live in a place that barely passes code, they should live comfortably for the duration of the lease. Make sure that you live in a habitable property that is well repaired and maintained. This is in your lease agreement and you should live in a safe place. Use the free resources that cities and states make available to you. Get to know them and use them. If you want to avoid any confrontations when it comes to the increase of the rent, try and work early with your landlord on an agreement that will suit both of you. Tenants don't have much say when it comes to these increases, so plan ahead and avoid any surprises. If you're trying to get back at your landlord, don't do it by withholding the rent money. This little trick will simply backfire on you. If you're moving, make sure to call the Oklahoma City moving specialists.
