FREQUENTLY ASKED TENANT QUESTIONS
IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER
|
DO YOU REALLY RETURN SECURITY
DEPOSITS? - Yes, all the time. However, you
have to leave the property in excellent condition. It has to
be ready so that someone else could move right in. Most tenants
don't want to go to that much trouble to get a place in shape.
They ignore the little things like cleaning windows and blinds.
Or they will attempt to clean the carpet themselves with less
than adequate results. However, for those tenants that do what
is necessary, we return their deposits.
|
WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO GET
MY SECURITY DEPOSIT BACK? - Well, first of all,
you will need to have all outstanding charges on your ledger
paid. Secondly, you will need to give proper written notice
that you will be vacating. Finally, the property has to be in
ready to move-in condition.
|
WHAT IS CONSIDERED PROPER NOTICE
WHEN VACATING? - You need to give written notice
at least 30 days in advance of your departure, and it must be
on or just before the 1st of the month when the notice is given
or presented to the office or your property manager.
|
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET
MY SECURITY DEPOSIT RETURNED? - In part, that
depends on you. If the unit is rent ready, ready to go, it usually
takes a few days. If there are repairs, and cleaning that need
to be done, then probably it will be closer to 30 days. The
more you do, the less we need to do, and the faster a return
can possibly be made.
|
WHAT HAPPENS IF THE REPAIRS,
CLEANING, AND OUTSTANDING CHARGES TOTAL MORE THAN THE DEPOSIT
I HAVE? - That in part is up
to the landlord. We usually turn over ledgers with outstanding
balances to Collection Agency's. They in turn see to it that
it gets on your credit bureau. Some owners are a little more
aggressive and they start a Small Claims suit. It's not an enjoyable
experience for anyone. Keep in mind, that everything is Tenant
generated. In other words, if you did your part, had everything
paid for, there wouldn't be any Collection Agency's or court
actions involved.
|
CAN I REPLACE SOME OF THE CEILING
LIGHTS WITH CEILING FANS/LIGHTS? - Maybe. You
need to check with your property manager. Keep in mind, that
according to state law, anything that is attached to the property,
like a ceiling fan, becomes part of the real estate and is no
longer your personal property. It is part of the owners improved
real estate. Technically, if you remove the ceiling fans when
you vacate, you are stealing the owners property. It is best
to get an agreement signed that allows you to remove the attached
items before you install them. That way everybody is on the
same page and there aren't any problems.
