Q. I am looking at an apartment today that I found for sale by owner. I have had a few conversations with her leading up to today and she seems legit, but I understand you have to also always be aware that the landlord/apt could be a scam. If I like the apartment upon viewing, and want to go forth with the renting process is it appropriate to ask for the landlord's id or a tax receipt (or something else...suggestions?) to prove she is who she says she is and it is her apartment.
Any suggestions are appreciated! Thanks!

A. if you express your concerns to her in a professional matter you should be fine. if she has a problem with it then just back out of it
What is your right to privacy in a fraternity house?
Q. I realize that the living situation in a fraternity is a little different than those of a regular rented house. My question is, if those in a leadership position in a fraternity suspected that you had something in your room, such as drugs or alcohol, that were contrary to the Bylaws of that fraternity, which you signed an agreement to abide by, do they have a right to enter your room, if it is unlocked, and search for those things?
Does it vary depending in which state the fraternity is located in?
Does it vary depending in which state the fraternity is located in?
A. Yes, because the house belongs to the fraternity.
What do you have to pay separate when renting apartments in Wisconsin?
Q. This is my first time I am renting an apartment and I was wondering what else I have to fit in my budget. I was thinking along the lines of electricity, heating, water and such.
A. Every lease is different and also negotiable. When checking on an apartment the first question to ask is what does the rent include. If you have a budget (and most people do) and find an apartment that is close to your budget but the heating bill would put you over budget, attempt to negotiate the heat in the rent. If the landlord has been setting on the apartment or if his percentage is low, he may go for it.
How does renting a plane work?
Q. I'm looking into taking some flying lessons and getting my private pilot's licensce. I keep seeing stats on renting planes, but I have no clue how it works. For example, a plane might be advertised at $100 per hour, but how is that totaled up? If I fly from Atlanta GA to Savanah GA and it takes me 2 hours there and 2 hours back, but I stay the day there for 6 hours, am I paying $400 for just time spent in the air, or am I going to pay $1000 to include time spent on the ground?
A. Rental rates for planes are usually "wet" rates, meaning the price includes fuel. The charge is by the hour of flying time and may be called either Hobbs time or tach time. Hobbs time is just like a clock. Any time the master switch is on, the clock is running, racking up hours and tenths. Tach time, however, is only equal to Hobbs (or clock) time when the engine's rpm's are high, such as when the plane is actually flying. Thus, when the plane is on the ground, and taxiing, the engine rpm is very low, so renting by "tach time" is a better bargain. Typically, if you take a plane on a cross country trip, there will be a minimum charge per day (usually 2 hours). This varies with who you rent from. Your best bet BY FAR, is to join a local non-profit flying club. The rates will be much lower than renting from the "FBO" (fixed base operator) at the airport. On one of my many xc trips, I flew a Cessna 182 from WI to FL on tach time, stayed 10 days and was charged for flying time (of course) and an extra 2 hours of time per day. I also belonged to a flying club, so I can't tell you about an FBO's extra charges. Hope this helps. Feel free to email me w/questions: aavoucherjunkie@yahoo.com..
