I need to rent a home!!
Hello. I am having trouble getting any help to locate a home to rent. I am driving to Charlotte on May 18 to look for a home to rent. I have called several "leasing companies" that are listed on realtor.com. The few of them that have returned my call have explained to me that they cannot even show me a home until I have local employment.
I believe that I need a place to live and a permenant address to get a job?? Am I off base here?? My plan is to come out there and find a home, then return to Texas to get my son and the Uhaul truck. I have already sold my home here and would be willing to pay months in advance of rent to satisfy a landlord until I get a job. I have no doubt that I can secure employment fairly quickly. I feel that I need to get a home, and get my son into a daycare before I can go to work.
I am looking for a 3/2 home in or around the Concord area. I would like a garage and a fenced yard. I will be in town to view properties during the week of May 18.
Please let me know if anyone has any suggestions or rental property.
I look forward to moving to the Charlotte area.
Loren

You opened a can of worms with that statement.
Did you try TR Lawing? When we moved down here they did not list that as a requirement for us. |

What type of work are you looking for? Jobs are sparce here, just as everywhere else, right now. That could play a large part in where to settle.

Actually TR Lawing was one of the two companies that replied to me and explained that thay would be the case.
I am not depending on employment for financial needs. But, I already have leads and do not feel that it will be difficult.
I am settling in Concord because I will be attending a college there.

My mistake, it was not TR Lawing, it was Landis. I have not gotten a return message from TRLawing just yet.

They are kind of a pain to get to return messages. I recall that they almost never answered emails and i would have to call a few times b4 they called back, so definitely call them, don't email, and call a couple times if you have to. |

You can get on the TR Lawing website and search by area to see what is available in Concord  |
