Craigslist is the best advertising option for landlords and property managers. If you’re trying to generate leads for your rental units, you can’t afford not to advertise on Craigslist.

I can’t imagine any scenario where a landlord wouldn’t definitely consider advertising on Craigslist. Failure to advertise your rental property on Craigslist can be detrimental to your occupancy.

If you’re a small startup property management company or landlord without a large advertising budget, you need to be on Craigslist. If your direct competitors are advertising extensively on Craigslist then you need to be there.

Advertising rental houses, condos, townhouses, apartments, and rooms is simple, easy, and free. Those who are hoping to lease their apartments often turn to Craigslist’s classified ads for a number of reasons. The two primary reasons to use Craigslist are affordability and its large existing audience.

To say that online classified advertising on Craigslist is affordable is a major understatement. It is mostly free to advertise your available and vacant rental units. They only charge posting fees in certain major metropolitan areas including New York. The other 99% of classified ads on Craigslist are free.

Placing your classified ads on Craigslist is appealing because they have a huge audience that will generate plenty of traffic to your classified ad. Craigslist receives millions visitors per month who generate billions of page views per month. There is no denying that advertising your apartments on Craigslist can help you to quickly reach a massive audience.

If you’re looking to cut advertising costs, generate more leads, and compete more effectively, then you need to start with Craigslist today.

If you have reached a point in your life where your debt has piled up and you are considering filing bankruptcy, then odds are that life hasn’t been too pleasant for you lately. One of the worst issues you will have at this time is the harassment by creditors, fear of repossessions, and utilities being turned off.

While these issues shouldn’t be the reason for filing bankruptcy one “benefit” (if it can be called that), is the automatic stay. The automatic stay is “automatically” put in place and accomplishes several things including protection against bill collectors, foreclosure, utility disconnections, and being evicted. There are some cases where it isn’t automatic such as when people have recently filed other bankruptcies. Here are some points of relief that the automatic stay can give you during this stressful time:

Foreclosure – An automatic stay will temporarily stop foreclosure. The creditor will probably be able to foreclose eventually if you file Chapter 7, but this will buy you some valuable time to make decisions. Chapter 13 bankruptcy is a better option if you want to keep your house and you can usually file a bankruptcy petition any time before the sale of your house. Utilities – If the utility company is threatening to cut off your water, electricity or gas, the automatic stay could give you up to 20 days of extra time. Once you file bankruptcy the automatic stay will force the utility company to reconnect your service if your utilities have already been disconnected. Wage Garnishments – Garnishments as in the case of child support and alimony will be completely stopped when bankruptcy is filed. Your paycheck will be protected and you will be able to take home a full salary and can also discharge the debt in bankruptcy. Eviction – Some help will be provided, but the new bankruptcy law makes it easier for landlords to evict you. If your landlord already has a judgment of possession against you when you file, the automatic stay won’t affect these eviction proceedings; the landlord can continue just as if you hadn’t filed for bankruptcy. Also if the landlord alleges that you’ve been endangering the property or using controlled substances there, the automatic stay won’t any good. In some cases, the automatic stay might give you a few days or weeks but the landlord can ask the court to lift the stay and the court will probably do so. Repossession – Your car cannot be repossessed while you have an automatic stay but this does not prevent you from having to handle the issue by reaffirming your car loan of returning it. You may be able to save your car with a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy but will have to make your trustee payments. Also, you need to be aware that a creditor can ask a judge to lift the stay so they can repossess.

As you can clearly see, an automatic stay won’t solve all your problems but it does give some temporary relief. It will stay in effect until you complete the bankruptcy and receive a discharge, the judge lifts the stay when a creditor requests it, and the property you want to protect is no longer a part of the estate. Be sure to read further information before you make any decisions about filing bankruptcy so you can be well-informed.

When you look around your neighborhoods, it’s hard to find any good news. Friends and neighbors may have lost their jobs or be on short-time. There are foreclosed properties on every street. Shops and businesses have been closing down with increasing frequency. These are the signs of a real recession where unemployment and poverty stalk the land. The cause of all this pain is not hard to find. We have all been living beyond our means. When the banks and credit card companies offered us more money to borrow, we just took it. Why bother to save when the value of our homes only goes up? Let’s plan for our retirement by borrowing cheap money and buying stocks and other more risky investments. No-one ever loses if they follow the advice of the credit rating agencies. Well, we know better now. What goes up can also come down. What is given a triple A rating can be junk tomorrow.

In the midst of all this chaos, the credit card operators have been cutting back on the borrowing limits. This has forced pain on us for two reasons. Firstly, finding the money to pay down our debts more quickly means redesigning the family budget. Sacrifices have to be made. Secondly, the way the credit score is calculated depends in part on the extent to which we use the credit cards we have. If the limits are reduced, we look like bad risks because the amount borrowed is closer to the limit. We have less money available to borrow and cut down on card usage so we can repay faster. Put the two together and the score falls. This is a direct criticism of the methods used to calculate the scores. It produces a fundamentally unfair result during a recession.

This would not be a problem if the credit score was only used by banks and credit card operators. But it’s also used by companies to help decide whether to employ you, by landlords deciding whether to rent to you and by insurance companies deciding whether you are a responsible person. National figures show more than half all insurance companies use credit scores as a key factor in deciding your premium rate. This is extraordinary. There is only one possible effect of being in debt when it comes to the way in which you drive. If you cannot afford to repair your vehicle, you drive defensively to reduce the risk of an accident.

Some states like California and Massachusetts have banned the use of credit score for this purpose, but they are a minority. They cite discrimination as a reason for the ban. The majority of the population without access to banking services and credit cards fall into minority racial groups. When they do not have a credit score, they are forced to pay a higher premium simply because of who they are, not how they drive. So, when you are looking for affordable cover, get the maximum possible number of car insurance quotes to find the best policies. If you live in a state which refuses the regulation of the car insurance market, contact your local government representatives and tell them how much pain you are suffering because of this unfair use of credit scores.

Bruntwood has secured the largest office letting in the North West this year. The commercial property company has exchanged contracts on a 94,000 sq ft lease with Weightmans law firm.

The 15 year contract will see the firm relocate to The Plaza, Bruntwood’s flagship Liverpool building. The deal marks one of the biggest lettings in Bruntwood’s history and the largest private sector letting for six years in Liverpool.

Weightmans is moving from its office in India Buildings, Water Street, after a merger with rival Mace & Jones earlier in the year which saw the firm grow to more than 1,000 staff.

High-quality office space

David Guest, regional director for Bruntwood, revealed: “This is such a significant letting, not only for Bruntwood, but Liverpool and the North West, and was fiercly contested between the landlords of the region.

A letting this extensive is proof of the top quality office space we provide and the standard of service and care given to our customers throughout the lifetime of the lease.”

Colin Forshaw, head of sales for Bruntwood, said: “We are proud that Weightmans chose The Plaza as the firm’s new base. As one of our most popular buildings, The Plaza continues to attract a lot of companies, large and small, wanting the very best office space to let.”

David Lewis, head of the Liverpool Weightmans office, said: “This expansion will be the start of a new chapter for the Liverpool office – reflecting our long-term hopes for the business and our efforts to provide a great working environment for our people, and state-of-the-art headquarters from where we can greet and service clients.”

Investing in Liverpool

Bruntwood has pumped £24m into the Plaza since acquiring the property in 2003 including the £2.4m entrance move to St Paul’s Square.

It contains some of the best quality offices and serviced offices in Liverpool city centre. The whole building has undergone an extensive renovation, creating a contemporary new reception and top-of-the-range meeting rooms to hire. Just a 2 minute walk from Moorfields Station and within easy reach of Liverpool Lime Street Station, office customers have a huge variety of amenities and transport links on their doorstep.
