FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER

HOW
MANY KEYS WILL I GET? - Normally we give you
one set of keys and one gate and/or garage door opener if appropriate
for the property. If you would like more sets then it will be
your responsibility to have duplicate keys made and purchase
additional remote controls. In the event you change locks on
the property, it is imperative that you supply our office with
a copy of the keys. Not to do so would be considered a lease
violation and as such you could be evicted.
Here is the excerpt from the Lease Agreement
as it pertains to keys:
KEYS
Access systems will be furnished to LESSEE when all parties
have signed the lease and all applicable addendums, deposits
and rent monies have been paid and a move-in date has occurred.
LESSEE is responsible for and must return such keys, cards,
openers etc. to be eligible for a refund of deposits. The above
stated key deposit shall be refunded if keys consisting of _________
door key(s), _________ mail box key(s), ________ laundry room
key(s), __________ pool key(s), __________ storage key(s), _________
gate card(s) ___________ gate key(s), ____________ Transmitter(s),
______________ (_____________________Other) key(s) are returned.
Locks may be replaced, re-keyed, or dead bolts added at the
tenant’s expense provided tenant informs owner, or owner’s
agent, and provides owner, or owner’s agent, with a workable
key for each new or changed lock. Tenants are responsible for
all charges and expenses related to replacing lost, stolen,
misplaced, or broken keys. Duplicate keys will only be made
available to a tenant with proper identification and who is
signed on this lease agreement. At no time will keys be given
to minors, guests, or relatives.
**This clause is subject to change
without notice. Be sure and read your lease agreement and understand
it in its entirety.

HOW MUCH IS THE
CLEANING CHARGE AND IS IT REFUNDABLE? - We don't
charge a cleaning fee, per se. We have found that when tenants
do not have an opportunity of getting a refund, then there isn't
any incentive for them to clean the property once they have
vacated.
|
HOW
MUCH ARE LATE FEES AND WHEN DO THEY BEGIN? -
Late fees start on the third (3rd) of the month. On the third
you are charged $50.00. After that, the late fee is increased
$10.00 per day until a payment is accepted. Being late is never
a good thing. Not only is it expensive, but you may be in a
position to buy a home later and having lates on your rental
record isn't going to help you secure a loan.
Here is the excerpt from the Lease Agreement
as it pertains to Late Fees:
LATE
LESSEE shall pay a charge of fifty ($50.00) dollars plus ten
($10.00) dollars for each day after two (2) days that rent is
late. A charge of thirty-five ($35.00) dollars, plus the corresponding
late fee will be charged for each dishonored check made by the
LESSEE to the LESSOR. LESSEE agrees to pay all rents,
all late fees, all notice fees, all outstanding charges, and
all court costs upon honoring a returned check with cash or
Certified funds. After the LESSEE has tendered a check
which is dishonored, LESSEE hereby agrees to pay all remaining
payments due under this Agreement by cash or Certified funds.
Any payments tendered to LESSOR thereafter, which are not in
the form of cash or Certified funds, shall be treated as if
LESSEE failed to make said payment until cash or Certified funds
are received. LESSEE shall pay all rental payments by cash or
Certified funds thereafter. LESSOR presumes that the LESSEE
is aware of the criminal sanctions and penalties for issuance
of a check which the LESSEE knows is drawn upon insufficient
funds and which is tendered for the purpose of committing a
fraud upon the creditor. All late fees, service fees,
and charges shall be due and payable when billed and after thirty
(30) days shall become a part of the rents due.
**This clause is subject to change without
notice. Be sure and read your lease agreement and understand
it in its entirety.
