The Deposit
The deposits purpose is to give the tenant incentive to leave the property as it was found. The Deposit cannot be
used for rent. If you break the lease you will loose your deposit. We need a tenant to stay at least a year to make
it profitable for the landlord. If a lease is broken the deposit is used to make repairs and clean up the building for
the next tenant. We will usually loose a months rent between tenants. Please do your best to take care of the
property as if it was yours.
Paying the Rent On Time
The rent is due on the 1st of each month and past due on the 5th of each month. The late fee is $40.00 and a bounce
check fee is $25.00. It is in the best interest of the tenant to pay the rent on time every month. We do have creditors
and employers call us for references on present and past tenants. When a tenant takes care of the property and pay
their rent on time is shows others they are responsible people whom they can depend on . Paying your rent on time
will effect how and when you buy a car or a house in the future.

Persons Sharing a Property
Please mail all of the rent in the same envelope. This makes it much easier to credit you account as paid. We rent by the
house or apartment, not by the room. If one roommate moves out the remaining tenants are responsible for the entire rent
of the property.
Pets
Pets are a landlords nightmare. A landlord always prefers a tenant not to have pets. But most people like to have animals
in their house with them so the landlord must have a way to permit this. A pet deposit is required if a pet is kept inside the
house. The pet deposit is 1/2 the regular deposit of the house or apartment. The pet deposit can be returned if there is no
damage to building or pet smells inside the house.
Lawn Maintenance
The tenants renting houses are responsible for keeping up the lawn unless otherwise stated at the beginning of the lease. If
you see you cannot cut your grass, please let us know and we will cut it for you. The cost is $35.00 each time. You will find this
is a good bargain.
