Renting a house for a large grow op

[Trivium]

No man, a co-signer isn't usually there for financial support. Basically if you can't pay your rent (this is entirely seperate from utilities in the U.S.) then the cosigner has to pay on your behalf.

In my case, I'm using a co-signer because like I said, I dont have a job that pays me enough to meet the minimum income requirements to rent a house.

Graph,
Gasoline for the generators would eat up a good amount of money. I would like to talk to other people that the property management company leases through. I'll be looking for a management company that's as negligent as possible

Thats what Im talking about dog. If you cant meet the requirements to pay your electricity bill, your co signer is, and he or she is going to ask WHY it is so high .. So please take advice on generators, I mean nothing in a negative way to you, but Im trying to point out whats already there.

You dont have a cosigner for electric. The electric goes in your own name. You don't need a cosigner. It's a different entity. It works as a seperate system from the rental agency. They don't share information.

I will be paying for my own electricity, and rent, so there's not an issue.

The only way I can see getting a generator is if my breaker can't provide enough power to a certain room. They're inneficient, noisy, expensive to purchase, and consume $.

The actual OWNER of the property (not the property manager) may be the nosey type and may come on his property to walk around and check things out. This is something I definately want to be wary of. I'll probe for information about the homes actual owner. Maybe I can find a place owned by someone who lives in another country.

Aaaaaahhh, did I harsh YOUR buzz somewhere on this MB?

Now it's Ginger, 'cause she had fancy perfume to cover the poop smell.

What the hell...

I was just stating a fact, nothing to do with your post. Hence the "I shit you not"

Sorry for the dp, but I thought that last post sounded kinda harsh.

What I should have added was "sorry if you took it the wrong way, I didn't mean anything negative by it"

Hall,

I'm happy we're in more better terms now.

As to circuit breakers, don't worry... they can handle it. Big time... you might need to upgrade your breakers to 30A or the big 50A ones... but the circuit breaker will handle it fine.

If you need to change the breakers, don't pay an electrician... go to Home Depot (or some net search) and get an electrical 1-2-3 book. It's a very simple thing to do... just cut off the main power. Don't want to get shocked.

As to the landlord coming around... CHANGE THE LOCKS. ALL of them.
I would say that 145% of the time, the keep copies of the keys... although they tell you that they "don't". Yeah, sure...

For your windows, I suggest you put up some blinds, then build a "box" behind the window... line it up with black foam sound-proofing stuff... then have your air intakes/exhausts through there...

Is it a 1st floor, 2nd, or a highger up number?
If it's a 3rd or higher floor, you're cool. A 2nd and 1st, you gotta be more carefull.

Just two or three thoughts... peace man

well. dude, it sounds like you have a plan. as long as you rush into a place, you should be fine. using generators sounds like a buzz kill.

conserving energy is going to be key. if you want to hear a true story, google callabasas (sp), marijuana. you will find a story about police in calabassas, california and how they use electricity bills to bust people. it is worth reading and being aware of....

keep us posted.. and good luck...

love and acceptance attracts love and acceptance. the mind only attracts its own thoughts...

love is you

Well ,if you are broke as you say then they might ask for a co-signer on your utilities.If you have no credit. Then you either have a co-signer or pay a fat deposit. Most likely a deposit.
Landlord always have a key Turtle.
It's the law. They can come in whenever they want. After all they own it!
Hall has the right idea. You need to find a land lord that is never around. Preferably lives in a nother town.
