We know that renting an apartment
can sometimes be a confusing process. We here at
Question:
How long is the term of my lease?
Answer:
Our standard lease term is 12 months.
Question:
Can I break my lease?
Answer:
Your lease is a legally binding contract. However, we understand that
sometimes folks have to move or relocate for a variety of reasons- job
transfers, family troubles, and so on. We offer our tenants several
options in order to be released from their leases:
-
Breaking the lease. You certainly have the option of moving out. However, please keep in mind that you have signed a legal contract with our company to rent and fees associated with breaking the lease.
-
Tenants may re-rent their units. Re-renting is similar to subletting except the new person doesn’t assume your lease, but signs a new one. To find out more about re-renting, email a leasing agent at rivercityleasing@comcast.net for complete details.
Question:
What about "sub-leasing"?
Answer:
We do not allow what is commonly termed "sub-leasing". That is,
letting someone else stay and pay the rent under your lease. As mentioned
above, you are legally responsible for the terms of the lease. Should you
let someone "sub-lease", and that someone damages the apartment, or
violates any of the terms and conditions of the lease- YOU would still be
responsible. Having this person come in and sign a new lease with us
would release you from your lease, as well as the responsibility for the unit.
Question:
Do you allow pets?
Answer:
Yes, we allow pets at all but one of our properties. We have recently
reduced our monthly pet fee to $35.00 per pet. There is however, a
$200.00 non-refundable pet fee that is due at the beginning of your lease
term. Sorry - we do not allow Rottweilers or
Pitbulls.
Question:
How much is the security deposit?
Answer:
Your security deposit amount will vary- based upon the price of the apartment
that you rent. The security deposit is anywhere from one to two month’s
rent depending on application status.
Question:
When do I get my security deposit back?
Answer:
After the end of your lease term, we will conduct a move-out inspection.
You are invited to attend. After this inspection, should there be no
deductions for damage or loss, we will mail your security deposit 45 days after
the day you move. Please make sure we have your forwarding address.
Question:
Where can I park my vehicle?
Answer:
At most of our properties, we provide paved, off-street parking. In order
to use these lots, you will be given a parking pass that is displayed/hung on
your vehicle's rear view mirror. These passes are transferable from one
vehicle to another, however, each vehicle on the lot MUST have a pass
displayed, or it will be towed. This is to ensure adequate parking for
our tenants. At those properties that do not have specified parking
areas, there is on-street parking throughout those neighborhoods.
