Top 10 New Years Resolutions for you and your Apartment
After much anticipation, New Years Eve is finally here!!! Tomorrow begins the year 2008 and with the new year comes a whole slew of resolutions to improve yourself and those around you next year.
I can see it now…January 2nd…all of the gyms are suddenly overcrowded until…January 11th. Cigarette and liquor sales go down nearly 65 % for…oh…about….4 days. Your Credit Card payment nearly doubles for the month of January, but come Valentines day, you end up owing more than you did at the turn of the New Year.
Resolutions are meant to last the entire year, so this year I resolve to make it the whole year with my resolutions. I also resolve to help make not only myself better, but also those around me!
That being said, I want to help you make some resolutions that will rock for both you and your apartment with my Top 10 Apartmentite Resolutions for 2008.
10. Rent On Time- Actually pay rent on the 1st every month! This will help avoid late fees!
9. Fugitive Pet No More- Stop [BREAK] hiding your animals from maintenance and cut corners to finally pay your pet deposit
8. Won’t You Be My Neighbor- Meet at least one neighbor…take them a gift even. You may make a good friend…or at least a great pet sitter!
7. Keep Things Clean- This may be difficult, but scrub-a-dub your apartment one day and then keep it clean all year! I tried it last year and made it about 3 months strong.
6. Use Your Kitchen- Resolve to cook and eat in your apartment more often. You will end up saving hundreds, if not thousands of dollars by the end of the year.
5. Entertain!- Put the loud, obnoxious, stumbling around party days behind you and host one adult style dinner party this spring.
4. Furniturize- Filter some of your extra income into furniture improvements. Stop using empty boxes as end tables and splurge a little on something nice!
3. The Gym Is FREE- If your apartments have a gym, what is your excuse?!?! Spend three hours a week in the gym. Hit the elliptical on level 4 for 30 minutes and do some light free weight exercise for 30…Do that three days a week and you can guarantee to see a difference!
2. Out with the Old- Dig through your attic and closet to find all of the old clothes, toys, and junk that you don’t need anymore, but someone else could get some use for and DONATE it! You’ll free up space and help people out!

**DOES A 90 YEARS LEASE OF LAND EXIST IN THAILAND?
This is possible if the plot of land is not sold to another new owner or the land owner stay alive long enough to renew your lease terms. Other than this, it is fallacious to think that you can lease a plot of land for 90 years under Thai civil laws.
Under Thai civil laws, a long term lease of a plot of land can be up to a maximum lease period of 30 years. The law also provides for leasing land for the life period of the land owner or the lessee. A 30 years lease of land is a long term lease and has to be made in writing, signed by the lessor and lessee and registered at the district Land Office in order to be legally enforceable. In Thailand any lease of immovable property for more than 3 years must be registered. The registration of the 30 years lease period at the district Land Office means that you, the lessee, have the right to use or benefit from the plot of land for the registered 30 years lease period. No other third party would be able to use or receive benefits from the land for the 30 years. If the land had been bought up by a new owner during the 30 years, this new owner is binding to your 30 years registered lease i.e. allow you to lease the land for the registered lease period. In legal language, you have a real right over the land for the registered 30 years.
Any promises to renew the 30 years lease term for another 2 x 30 lease terms are just promises agreed upon between the land owner and you. An example of such personal promises can be a stipulation in the lease of land contract: “the lessor agrees to renew the lease for another two 30 years lease terms”. Besides the lessor and yourself, no other person is contractually binding to these renewal promises. A third person is not a party to these promise agreements. Therefore, when the plot of land is sold to a new owner, the new owner is not binding to the promise to renew the lease at the end of the 30 years registered lease.
If the land owner dies, the promise dies too, whoever is the land owner at the end of the 30 years is not obligated to renew the lease as well.
Tip
One of the recourse would be to lease the plot of land for only 30 years. Register the written and signed lease of land contract at the Land Office. Alternatively, you may want to consider purchasing a condominium unit(s).

Retiring In Costa Rica Condos—Expand Your Horizon in Your Golden Years
Retiring in style! Spending the golden years in luxury! These are small aspirations for those who have spent a good part of their lives under the grinding pressure of corporate demands. Even a decade ago, the retirees headed straight for beach destinations in Florida or California and likes. But with real estate market getting saturated and over priced, many retirees have abandoned their idea of spending their golden years at Miami. But as it comes to retiring in style, a class of retirees does not mind taking a step further, take up a few hours’ flight and land on a foreign land, where lifestyle is relaxed, climate perfect and cost of living far cheaper. With real estate prices becoming an important determining factor for choosing retirement destinations, retiring in foreign countries have become more a rule than exception and Costa Rica condos have become a sort of retirement heavens for thousands of US retirees in the recent years. A smart marketing has definitely something to do with the massive US tourist influx in this country, but it is a few intrinsic attractions that make Costa Rica the perfect retirement destination for the baby boomers from the USA—both moneyed as well as the short-in-cash retirees. Costa Rica retirement properties have something for all. Other Caribbean countries, namely Belize, Panama and Nicaragua too are in the race of luring US retirees, but it is Costa Rica, with its unique benefits and incentives that have outpaced its neighbors in the race. Add to the list a well developed private health care sector and lower crime rates and it is no wonder the country boasts of 20,000 American retirees that have made Costa Rica condos home for their retirement years. Other benefits apart, it is the affordable real estate that makes Costa Rica a sort of retirement heaven for the North American retires pushed out of the very expensive vacation property market back home. While ocean view Costa Rica condos will cost you about $300,000 in Costa Rica, it is difficult to find comparable condo properties in any of the hot locations in US and Canada. Moreover, purchasing and owning Costa Rica condos is easy. The foreigners can enjoy the same set of rights over their Costa Rica condo properties as the natives. It is no wonder, Costa Rica condos are gaining in so huge popularity. With a strong community of expatriates to give you support, Costa Rica condos will give you a feel of home away from home.

Or if you are looking for Costa Rica condos by the Pacific, the real estate in Dominical and Playa Jaco can serve your purpose best. On the Atlantic side, the province of Limon is the home of an amazing collection of Costa Rica condos perfect for retirement lifestyle. For more affordable beach front retirement properties, you can explore the Costa Rica condos market in Cahuita and Puerto Viejo.In short, retiring in Costa Rica is affordable, enjoyable and safe.
