As many of you know, I need to move. So far I have not found a place that will work. The market ****s for rental homes right now and I am still on freak out mode.
I was wondering if anyone has ever written a letter/proposal to explain to the new Landlord that I will be a good tenant with having the child care in the home.
I did find this little blurb on childcare law, but I am certain that they will want to know more.
HOW DO I MAKE MY BUSINESS WELCOME IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND FOSTER GOOD RELATIONS WITH MY LANDLORD.
Landlords often confuse a family child care home with a child care center. They have visions of streams of
children disturbing other tenants and running about. However, family child care providers tend to be very
good tenants. You may want to explain to the landlord the nature of your operation:
• Noise. If they worry about noise, offer to keep the children indoors during the morning and evening.
Also, inform them that the license limits the number of children in care.
• Lack of supervision. Children are less likely to be unsupervised in family child care. As a licensed provider,
the tenant is required to constantly supervise the small number of children in her care.27
• Traffic. Explain that there are few families in the program and offer to stagger pickup and drop off times.
• Increased costs. Explain that there will not likely be increased water or energy use because the children
are not being bathed and meals are not prepared for them. Also, offer to observe conservation.
• Wear and tear on the property. Explain that tenants must take good care of the home because they want it to
be an attractive and safe environment, and they are subject to Licensing Board inspections. If a there is
excessive wear or tear the security deposit may be used, when the tenant moves.
What should I include......I am going to ask my current landlord for a reference and I am going to ask some of my neighbors too.
Any other suggestions so that I could keep the new landlord at ease and help to smooth things over so that I can get a house....
Thanks ladies
