Red Flags for Renters to Watch Out For

11. Renters need to be cautious of contracts that are over two pages long.

When you receive a contract to look over and sign, it should not be more than two pages long. More than that is a bit excessive and unnecessary. Suppose a landlord has a list that consists of more than 50 items that they want a renter to read over and sign, in addition to the lease itself. That could mean frustrating situations for the renter in the future. Of course, you don’t want any surprises later on, so make sure you look it over carefully beforehand.
