How to Become a Home Tender
Is Home Tending Right for Me?
Let one thing be clear: home tenders are not typical tenants and are not afforded the same rights. This means that you won't receive a 30 day notice to move. When the house sells, you typically have just a few days to vacate the premises. Depending on the company, you may be able to move straight into another equally luxurious property. However, if the thought of moving frequently gives you a headache, home tending may not be right for you.
Home tenders are also expected to furnish the sale home with handsome furnishings, keep the house presentable at all times, pay for utilities and maintain the home and yard. In exchange, home tenders get to live in gorgeous homes, nearly rent free, that may otherwise be well outside their price range. Home tenders are also able to experience living in a new city or neighborhood without a burdensome lease or lengthy obligation.
How to Become a Home Tender
Not anyone can become a home tender. The ideal candidate is a pet-free, non-smoker with stylish and appealing furniture and décor. As well, you'll also need to invest in renter's insurance and demonstrate that you are a responsible person via your renting and employment history. Additionally, experience cleaning pools or maintaining gardens would make you that much more lucrative.
In today's market, home tending could prove to be both exciting and financially advantageous. If the home you tend doesn't sell for 6 months, you've essentially just saved a half of a year's rent (minus the cost of utilities).
Contact your insurance company or bank for details, or find licensed, bonded and insured home tending companies online.
