If you’ve never rented a condo before you might be in for a series of rude shocks: unexpected delays, hefty fees, gotcha pet policies – even a visit from the sheriff when your owner’s been foreclosed.
A couple months back I sat down with Tim Brent of Chicago Apartments & Condos to talk about condo rentals. Tim’s an 18-year veteran of the apartment rental industry, and familiar with the highly-individualized requirements of different condo complexes.
The takeaway: steer clear of most apartment rental services if you’re about to rent a condo. Go directly to the listing agent,, the landlord or a highly-experienced rental agent. And be sure you get all the relevant facts in advance.

Well, there’s some weird YouTube glitch going on.
I didn’t see the block becaue I’m signed into YouTube as YoChicago1, the owner of the video. When I sign out I see the block.
I will delete and re-upload the video.
