Re: Renting through Red week for the first time - nervous... (by Tracey S.):

As a renter I think you would be more likely to back out than the owner and 60 days doesn't give the owner much time to try to re-rent. I think a lot of owners will say no to the 50/50 route especially if they have it priced competitively and are experienced renters. I think 90 days is more reasonable but even at that you may not get the owner to accept. You can ask for whatever terms you like but I think more than 50% do expect 100% at the time the reservation is put in the renters name.

Hi Jay jay

I cannot find the threads you mean... thanks. Also i am in Australia so will a rental agreement mean anything? I have now said that i will pay 50% up front and then the rest 60 days before we arrive, do you think this is fair? Thanks
