You may be confused with some of the basics to renting if this is your first time as a tenant of a rental home. When you secure a rental home, you should know the landlord-tenant laws in your state before signing your contract. Rental laws and contracts are made so both parties know what is exactly expected from them.

When renting out your place to others, there are two types of agreements/contracts that owners choose to use. This includes the rental agreement and the lease contract. Rental agreements don’t have a length of residence requirement and are month-to-month agreements. After the end of each month, the owner and the tenant are free to make changes to the rental agreement.

Drywall/ Plaster Repair In the city where I do most of my rehabilitation work, all the houses are 90 to 100 years old. Cracks and holes in the plaster are common. Often, holes in ceiling plaster are the result of water infiltrating either from the roof, or from a split plumbing line. Holes in walls are often the result of vandalism, but could be the sign of more serious foundation issues. Once the root cause is fixed I normally patch the area with inch drywall. Perform this task by placing a piece of inch drywall over the hole (lathe must be present behind the drywall). Secure the drywall to the hole with at least 2 drywall screws. Insert your rotozip near the edge of your hole and cut the drywall by pressing the rotozip blade against the remaining plaster. Once your piece is cut, secure it with multiple drywall screws, mud the gaps, tape, re-mud then sand to a smooth finish.
