Houston Venezia: No a tenant does not pay property taxes.What utilities you pay varies from rental to rental. You have to check at each place & see what is included. It is standard in my area (for example) fo the tenants to pay all their own utilities. You would not get an inspector when renting. You can certainly ask but the landlord does not have to allow it. Unlike buying the landlord is not legally required to disclose anything or tell you any history of the property. If you move in & discover any major health or safety issues you can always call your local housing authority for an inspection but they do not typically do one for a prospective tenant....Show more
Armando Somes: Actually, depending on your municipality you may have to get an occupancy inspection.
Billie Bratchett: The landlord generally pays the property taxes. Sometimes there is a provision in the lease that the rent goes up if the taxes go up.You will most likely pay gas, electric, c! able, phone, internet, and possibly trash and water as well. If any of these charges are included in the rent, it will say so in the lease. Why on earth are you getting an inspection? That's generally done if you're planning to buy a house, not if you're just renting....Show more
Ollie Hamiel: no need to be rude. it's just a question! I didn't know that I didn't need an inspection. geesh!
Robin Tommie: NO you don't pay property taxes. You are responsible for everything outlined in your lease.You do not get an inspector you are renting NOT buyingYou pay renter's insurance, utilities, heat, hot water, sewer, water, trash, lawn maintenance, cable, internet, telephone. You have all the expenses
Buddy Ardd: What inspector? A renter does a Move-In Inspection with the landlord to document pre-existing damages for his own benefit, but most other inspections are between the landlord and the city/county. You don't pay any taxes, only the utilities. Read the leas! e carefully and understand every clause. It will list your exa! ct responsibilities.

Antonia Quinnett: all I can tell you is that renting a house is more expensive than renting a mobile home and renting an apartment in a complex is less expensive than either of those. No everyone needs to rent a house unless you have lots of kids and they need a place to play. Generally the renter pays for the utilities (water, electric, garbage removal), supplies their own phone, and does the yard maintenance. Sometimes there is a washer and dryer and sometimes you have to either suppy your own or take your wash to the laundromat. The larger the house the higher your electric bill will be and even higher if you have a washer and dryer and dishwasher. Electric is costly these days. One word of caution. After you sign the lease (and after the landlord goes out the door of your new place) take pictures of everything as is when you rented the place (the carpets, the wal! l, the fixtures, the bathroom ceiling, inside closets and cupboards (like under the sink) for your own protection. Then get renters insurance....Show more
Hal Rouse: The property owner is responsible for taxes and home insurance. You will pay utilities. There is no need for an inspection. It would be a good idea to purchase renters insurance. If something happen the landlords insurance would not cover your personal property
Sammy Tabatt: When you rent a house you do not pay for property taxes the landlord/owner pays them. Yes i would have the home inspected many landlords will cover up hidden defects just to get there property rented. You do pay for you utility bills, meaning gas and electric, and water. Many of the companies charge a deposit for turning on your services until you have established credit with them so call and ask what the deposit for the house you are wanting to rent would be. This is another expense you need to add when renting home or a apartm! ent. Happy Holidays and Enjoy your new Home....Show more
