RentAL tIpS<br />
There are a few things you<br />
might want to know before signing<br />
a lease; be sure to check the<br />
following:<br />
• How much advance notice<br />
must you give before moving?<br />
• Are there security-deposit<br />
refund restrictions?<br />
• What is the owner’s obligation for repairs and maintenance?<br />
• Who will take care of yard duty, snow removal and clean-up?<br />
• Are there stipulations regarding subleasing, pets or the number of people allowed<br />
• in the unit?<br />
• Which utilities and services will the owner pay?<br />
Ask the manager to write and initial all changes and additions to the lease before<br />
you sign it and be sure to keep a copy for reference.<br />
After you sign a lease or rental agreement you should:<br />
Be sure you know who will manage your rental, where the rent is to be sent and<br />
who to call for repairs and maintenance.<br />
Make a checklist of the condition of the rental unit and any furnishings when you<br />
move in. Sign it, have the apartment manager sign it and keep a dated copy. This<br />
will come in handy when you move out.<br />
