What People Are Saying
Most young people rent their first apartment and sign a lease with no guidance whatsoever on how to be a renter. This book should be required reading for every first-time renter (or even those who have rented before) to understand their rights, avoid scams, and get the most value out of their rental experience. It walks the aspiring renter through applications, leases, tenant rights, budgeting, and much more.

I’ve helped more than a thousand renters find new homes and apartments, and I wish I’d been able to give them all this book. It’s filled with practical information and acts as a map to the world of rentals, It’s a wealth of knowledge and the transparency it provides makes the renting experience more secure, enjoyable and successful for the renters.

I think what has impressed me the most about Jonas in his intentional prioritization of the rental experience from the perspective of the tenant and this book is that next resource. It’s a guide, a reference, and a narrative, all focused on providing renters with the best tools to craft their rental experiences. Phenomenal!
