 | You're In Good Company! | |
If you ever needed validation that renting a home rather than owning it was the right thing to do, here it is. Check out this article that we found in USA Today which discusses the number of Tenant Occupied Properties v. Owner Occupied Properties. We can boil it down for your into three points: 1. Nationally, 34.9% of occupied homes were rented in 2010 compared to 33.8% in 2000, according to Census data; In Detroit, 48.9% of occupied homes were rented in 2010 compared to 45.1% in 2000; and 3. In Phoenix, 42.4% of occupied homes were rented in 2010 compared to 39.3% in 2000. In a nutshell, you are in good company and we are happy to help you find your dream (rental) home. |
| Reviewing the Fair Housing Laws | |
Below is a brief overview of the Fair Housing Laws that we abide by. For full coverage, click here.
"The Fair Housing Act (aka Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968), as amended, prohibits discrimination in the sale, rental, and financing of dwellings, and in other housing-related transactions, based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status (including children under the age of 18 living with parents or legal custodians, pregnant women, and people securing custody of children under the age of 18), and handicap (disability)."
We display the Equal Housing Opportunity logo and take our responsibilities seriously. To read an informative artilce on rights and responsibilities associated with Fair Housing, click here.

| Handling the Heat | |
It's the beginning of June and already we are seeing days in the 90's. It is important during these times to be mindful of overexposure to sun and heat. People who are especially at risk are the enderly, children, pregnany women, people with heart and respiratory conditions, and many more. If you do not have air conditioning, there are still many ways to keep cool in your home while not breaking the bank. We found this great article with many great suggestions for cooling off during a heatwave. |

June is the month to remember Dads and Grads. As always, we appreciate your partnership.
Sincerely,
