Good Read: The Tenant Survival Guide
I wrote about renting in the previous post and that got me to doing some more reading on renting and being tenants. I found a potential good read in the book The Tenant Survival Guide: Essential Reading for Prospective Tenants and Those Already in Rented Accomodation. Written by Lesley Henderson, it is touted to be a definitive guide for tenants – both prospective and current – who need to know all sorts of things ranging from things to look for when checking out a place, deposits, inventories, contracts, and so on.
I found the book on Amazon and was looking for user reviews and comments but I could not find any. The excerpts that I read were enough to entice me to take a closer look at it, though. You can see the first page in Amazon if you want to read it for yourself.
Some information on the author. Lesley Henderson runs a family business and has been a landlord for most of her life – practically all her adult life. This should give tenant readers assurance that she knows what she is talking about. Of course, there might be a bias towards landlords, given her position but that is what I want to find out in reading the book.
If you are as interested as I am, you can find copies from $10 to $14, used and new, from Amazon. And if you do get around to reading it, maybe you would like to share your thoughts and opinions in the comments?
