According to Yahoo News, as of late fall the stimulus program is offering anywhere between $50 to $200 to anyone who purchases high-efficiency household appliances. This money is from President Obama’s economic stimulus bill passed this February. According to the article, the details of the program vary from state to state. With these new high-efficient appliances, not only can families expect to get great discounts, they can expect to save on the cost of energy which will in turn help stimulate the economy. The best part is, there is direct NO TRADE-IN with appliances.
It is difficult for landlords to find great tenants to fill vacancies. If you are a reliable and good tenant any landlord today would be willing to accomodate you. You can either ask for a break or try extending the lease. By extending the lease you can make a deal to pay less on your rent for agreeing to stay longer. Think about it, both sides wins.
