Some things to remember about renting:
Rent is always due on the 1st, with a grace period through the 3rd.
Late fees begin at midnight on the 3rd.
Late fees are 5% of your rent amount on day 4, then half that amount every day thereafter.
Don't be late.
Once you sign the lease, you are officially a tenant for the term agreed to in your lease.
Welcome home!
If life happens and you need to move out early, we have a plan in place which is agreed to as part of your lease.
The document covering that plan is called "Moving out Early?")
All leases are subject to a lease-break fee if you break your lease because of any life situation.
(That fee is typically half of your deposit amount)
Red Apple, REALTORS has a "90 day Inspection" and a "Lease Renewal Inspection" plan in place.
If you have pets, we may do a walk through after 90 days of occupancy; If you agree to renew your lease with us, we will DEFINITELY do a walk through before we send your lease renewal document.
Things to prepare for upon move out:
A 30 day notice is required
Carpets are to be PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED upon move-out
(a LEGITIMATE INVOICE is TO BE PROVIDED FROM A REAL CARPET CLEANING CO otherwise the carpet cleaning will be hired out and deducted from your deposit)
You will receive a "Possible Deductions" page that will be a good cleaning guide for you as you clean.
You are to exit by 5pm on your last day of the lease.
(All of this info is in your lease!)
