新泽西州媒体NJ.com报导，在租屋及房地产市场热络、通货膨胀严峻的形势下，许多房东为了能从新买的投资物业获利，采用一种常见手段，即非正式的询问或要求房客搬出所住房子，避开正式驱赶程序。有专家称，这种案例正在增加。

这些房东往往能得逞，部分原因是很多房客不知自己权益，新州的房东必须持有法院命令，才能驱逐房客。

提倡租客权益的律师格马利(Charlie Gormally)表示，在新泽西州，只要租屋契约成立，基本上就是终身住屋保障，就算租约到期，租赁条件依然自动展延，依据新州法律，只有18种情况下，法官才会允许房东逐客，例如破坏房产，或是持续性地欠缴房租等。

尽管新泽西州有严格的法规保障租屋客，但是房东仍有许多非正式驱逐招数，例如付钱请房客搬走，但也有房东未提供任何交换条件，直接要求租客搬出；或是故意大涨租金，还有向旧租客「展示」新租客愿意缴纳的更多租金等。

房东非正式驱逐租客的成功率不低，原因包括房客不清楚自己的权利，提倡租客权益的律师艾米·阿尔伯特(Amy Albert)说，仍有不少人将房东视为「权威人物」；或是因房东突如其来的「问候」而方寸大乱。

还有部分租客则是不愿意与房东撕破脸、对簿公堂而选择默默离开；有租客就说，大家都知道他们有权利坚持继续居住，但许多人认为搬走仍是上策。

此外，房东通常定期与律师等法律团队往来，深谙个中手段，这通常不是被工作、家庭等琐事忙得团团转的民众有办法企及的。

瑞霞．敏斯（Rachel Mimms）在霍博肯(Hoboken)公寓住了四年后，被新房东要求搬家，接下来的几个月是个充满压力的艰辛过程，敏斯最终决定不再租房而是在泽西市高地自购公寓，使她对居住情况掌握控制权，今年满30岁的敏斯很庆幸的说：「现在稳定多了」。

大华府房产交易放缓房价涨3.3% 维州福斯教堂市涨近20% 幅度最大

大华府地区的房产销售持续放缓，今年9月的整体房价比去年同期增长逾3%，涨幅最明显的是维州福斯教堂市(Falls Church City)，增长了近20%，而阿灵顿郡的房价下降近14%，主要原因是今年售出的房产除了独栋房屋外还包括许多公寓，房产分析师表示，来年房价会逐渐回落，但仍比疫情前高二至四成。

房地产网站Bright MLS的报告显示，大华府地区今年9月售出房产价格的平均中位数，比去年同期上升了3.3%，多数地区的房价都有不同幅度的增长，涨幅最大的是维州福斯教堂市，增长了19.6%，费尔法克斯市(Fairfax City)也增长14.6%

大华府仅有北维州的两个地区出现房价回落，包括阿灵顿郡(Arlington County)，价格中位数下降了13.6%，以及亚历山卓市(Alexandria City)降了近10%。

Bright MLS首席经济分析师司徒兰特(Lisa Sturtevant)表示，阿灵顿郡和亚历山卓市的情况之所以与大华府其他多数地区不同，主要原因是今年售出的房产与去年不同，今年的房产交易中包括许多公寓(condo)，而去年多以独栋房屋(house)为主，因此今年的平均售价中位数比去年低。

司徒兰特说，秋冬季时房产销售一般会减速，但对比去年同期，今年放缓得格外明显，今年9月签订的交易合同比去年同期减少了32.7%，这也是连续第七个月呈下降趋势，「去年的房产交易异常活络，因此放缓趋势不令人意外，但今年有待推进的房产交易数量甚至比2019年前还少，大华府已多年未见此情况。」

根据房产数据分析，未来一年房产销售仍将持续放缓，因贷款利率居高不下，买者减少，房价增长速度也将相应放缓，不过短期内房价下降的幅度不会很明显，司徒兰特表示，尽管房价将逐渐脱离最高峰，但仍会比新冠疫情前的价格多二成至四成。

DIY Landlord – Renting out Properties Safer and Quicker!

By David Chen

3/05/2022

Q. We purchased our first home some years ago, and are about to move to another home. We are considering to keep our first home as an income property. We heard of the free ads on CRAIGSLIST and zillow.com, but some landlord friends told us it could be a challenge to find qualified tenants through CRAIGSLIST and zillow.com. Is there any way to rent our property out quicker and safer with minimum cost? We are the kind of persons who would like to try things ourselves, and have some spare time.

A. You may have already done the initial research and have figured out the range of monthly rent of your property.

If the monthly rent is low such as $1800.00 or below, you may want to do it through CRAIGSLIST, https://postlets.com/, zillow.com, or similar web sites. The renters interested in the low-priced rentals may not go to the Realtors community for assistance.

If the monthly rent is $1800.00 or above, you may want to consider listing your rental on brightmls.com for the Realtors community to market it for you.

Bright MLS is made up of nine forward thinking MLSs (43 Associations) in the Mid-Atlantic region who put aside their differences and came together with a shared vision to help solve MLS market overlap and empower everyone to get more out of the MLS. Bright will serve parts of 6 states plus Washington, D.C. encompassing 85,000 real estate professionals who serve over 20 million consumers and facilitate approximately 250,000 transactions a year that are valued at more than $70 billion.

Dozens of public real estate websites (such as: zillow.com, redfin.com, brightmlshomes.com, etc.) pull data from brightmls.com through syndication. In a few hours, your listing will show up on dozens of websites and will get the maximum exposure. It is a lot quicker and safer finding qualified tenants than doing it through CRAIGSLIST and zillow.com. You may talk with a Realtor for assistance. Please be aware some Realtors take rental jobs, some don’t.

Over the years I have helped some landlords in the community renting their properties out with very low cost. A popular arrangement is to help the landlords ‘DIY’, which has been working well for those experienced landlords.

The good side of ‘DIY’ is that the landlords can ‘screen’ the potential tenants from the very beginning, have 100% control of the whole process, and enjoy the feeling of “on top of things”.

If you prefer minimum service, I can help you ‘DIY’:

1. I provide CMA, list your rental on brightmls.com, put a realtor’s lockbox at the front door if needed, provide the access log (if needed), support you through the whole process.

I charge a flat fee for the minimum service.

2. If you would like me to prepare the lease or review the lease, there is another reasonable flat fee. This service is optional.

3. You answer phone calls, work with the tenant (if the tenant doesn’t have an agent) or the tenant’s agent, run credit check, verify employment, check references, etc.. You pay the tenant’s agent (if there is one) directly on the move-in date – usually 25% of first-month rent.

If you need full-service, the commission is first-month rent – which includes the commission to be paid to the tenant’s agent.

If you need any customized service (between minimum service and full-service), we can work out an agreement.

Some information:

CMA stands for Comparable (some called Competitive) Market Analysis, that will help you determine the market value of your property for sale or for rent.

I use Sentry-key lockbox. Any Realtor with membership of NVAR (Northern Virginia Association of Realtors) or any other VA Realtors association can access and show the property.

The access log tells when the agents enter the property and their contact info. which can help you follow up with the agents.

If you like the DIY experience, I would recommend you to use the minimum service.

Please feel free to reach me if you need any assistance.
