A Canadian couple has asked to rent my condo next year (2023) for 3 winter months (February, March, and April). A security deposit is on its way this week. Yay!
What this means is:
1. I get to keep my condo, which means I will still have a mailing address and a place to store my van.
2. I will have income to cover all the expenses for the condo including the additional insurance as well as the storage fees for all my personal effects which I will need to move out before they arrive.
3. For 3 months I will not be taking money out of my dwindling savings account.
4. For 3 months I will have a few hundred dollars extra to add to my little $400 pension. What I can save will cover 3 more months of living expenses beyond the snowbirds' tenancy.
Now I need to do six things:
1. Write a short lease for us to sign.
2. Open an account to keep the security deposit separate from my savings.
3. Advertise on Zillow that my condo is available from September 2022 to end of January 2023. Renting for 4 or 5 more months will be an additional boost of income.
4. Eliminate as much as possible from my condo now so I have less stuff to move and store.
5. Make my condo as attractive, comfortable, and welcoming as possible.
6. Make my blue van ready to live and work in.
