Does anyone know if you can still have a daycare if you rent your home?

Home ownership is not a prerequisite to providing child care.  A safe physical environment and a loving emotional environment is all that is required.  You may want to clear it with your landlord in case s/he stops by one day and sees 7 children playing in the yard.  Also, make sure your renter's insurance covers the business.

Yes just check out your local court records they are free and open to everyone, my parents are landlords and always check these things out to make sure they are renting to the right person;

We own our house. It's just a small one (2 bedrooms) but we had an awful experience with renting. Our landlord was over every day without telling us, he used our utilities, he was really creepy and would stand outside the window and stare in at me and he would never fix anything plus the house was practically falling down and infested with mice but because it looked nice from the outside we were paying a fortune. After that we decided that we'd have a little home built on my Mum and Step-Dad's property (they have a huge propery & we're WAY down the back) while we save up for our dream home.

Unfortunately not. But you can claim all sorts of things, including expenses relating to maintaining and upkeep of the home based on the same portion or percentage of your home that you use for business (office, and a washroom, living room for presentations, etc.) Here in Canada we can base that on how many rooms in the home we use for business or the actual floor space. It might be 4 rooms out of 8, which would be 1/2 and allow us to claim 1/4 of the homes heat, maintenance and mortgage or rent. \n\nThere's some good relevant Tax Reduction information out there - folks who keep up with the current laws that can help you out a lot just by researching their stuff.

some apartment complex's will not allow you to establish a "business" out of your home. If it is just extra money babysitting, you want to take a child and infant CPR class, make sure you have good renters insurance in case someone gets hurt in your apartment, and keep good records, document every bump and bruise on the child so you don't get blamed for anything. In this day and age it is hardly worth it unless you are already familiar with the family you would be working for. I would clean offices or houses on the weekends for extra cash, build up a few regular clients and that way you would have a structured schedule. I hope it works out for ya.

Work at a daycare!  I used to work at my sons' daycare and got 50% off of the tuition plus I got out of the house.  tell him you want to get out of the house more so you won't get bored and that your toddler would love to have more friends.  then explain how working at a daycare will benefit you both, you and the baby!  if you have to tell him you will only work partime, which could be half days all week or just a couple days a week. so it won't interfere with housework and won't be "abandoning" your child

You have the right to what's called "quiet enjoyment" of the home you've rented, and its up to the landlord to ensure that you get it.  This can be a very difficult situation, in that this can be difficult to prove.  Suggest you talk with a renters rights organization in your area.

No, you still have to pay your rent,but here is a few things you can do:\n\nIf the landlord does not make the repair the tenant can do any of the following:\n\nTake the rent when it is due to the local clerk of courts. A tenant must be current in their rent with the clerk of courts (called rent deposit). The tenant does not need an attorney for rent depositing. \nApply to the court to order the landlord to make the repairs. The court can also lower the rent until the repairs are made or give the tenant some of the rent money so the tenant can have the repairs made. \nEnd the lease. \nCancel the rental agreement and move. This can be done only after the tenant has given appropriate notice, and the landlord has failed to correct the condition.

HI! Dependent upon which state you reside in (assuming you are in the USA) and the county within that state will determine if a license is required. I ran a day care for 8 years in my home and where I live it was required to have a license. This allows protection for both the provider and the children with which you care for. I would reccomend calling your county governement office. Start by looking in the blue pages of your telephone book (usually in front of the white pages) and look under licensing.\n\nIt is an awesome profession and the rewards of watching children grow and flourish in your care is bar-none one of the best feelings. I have children who I used to care for that are now married with kids of their own and they thank me for how they were cared for because they instill some of my rearing techniques on their children now.\n\nGood luck!

Call your county office that licenses day care parents, perhaps they know of a family that takes children weekends. Plus a day care parent has been screened and fingerprinted.

There's an excellent book on Landlording by Leigh Robinson. Get it worth every penny. The link below has rental agreements too. But get the book, very very useful.

This will depend on where you live. I lived in Toronto Canada and had a problem with air conditioning not working. The units were advertised as air conditioned in all rooms. One did not work at all ,it doubled as a heater in winter. We had it running not knowing prior to our renting, it had been on fire! The compressor was no longer installed . Could have had another fire and lost my family. We found out for every month it was not working ( as long as it is stated as being included in lease, and you have put in the proper repair orders)they would have to back pay $50 per unit per month, and would be required to repair and keep in working order. If you get no where and qualify go see your community lawyers for advice. It really depends on location and laws for your area, hope that helps!\n\nMore~SECTION 118.

You can always do childcare from home. That's the only true job from home you are going to find.

Call the Department of Health. The landlord has probably broken the lease and you can move with your deposit. I would have already moved if it's been since October. That is BS! I have kids mysself and I would not put up with that. I had a mold problem and I told the landlord I can move out because he did not provide aduquite quarters for my family, and I had to pay rent for a bathroom that I didn't even use. Good luck!

You shouldn't, but call your agent to make certain.\n\nDo you have rental reimbursement on your policy?  It's inexpensive and worth it when you need it.

in our state you would not have to pay rent until the problem was fixed.\ndeduct for every day problem persists.
