Why you should have title insurance Who pays for what Fees in Escrow Prorations it pertains to rent If you are buying a home or property that has been being rented out you may have wondered what will happen with this rental income as well as the security deposits. How is escrow going to affect these items at closing? These are taken care of by proration and the income and the expenses are split up fairly between the buyer and the seller both at the time of closing. Since the prorations will have a large impact on your payment of escrow fees it is important that you take the time to ensure that the fees are all calculated properly. That is the only way to make sure that you do not pay too much. The security deposit and the rental income will most likely be prorated on the date of the close, when doing things this way it is the seller that will be continuing to collect any rents due until there has finally been a transfer of title of the property. As soon as escrow has been closed it will be up to the new buyer to collect and not the seller anymore. The seller will have to be sure to credit the new buyer all of the deposits that renters have put down on their units. Your escrow agreement should come with a rent and deposit schedule so that you can see what all you should be receiving. Not only that but the buyer should also get all the leases and rental agreements that pertain to this property as well as written assignment of the rents so that the buyer can collect these rents. It does not matter if you get thee papers through the seller or the escrow payment, as long as you get them.
