Rent:
Rent is due on the first, with a 5 day grace period. If rent is not paid (in full) or mailed to the office postmarked by the fifth, a late fee of $40 is also due and Landlord will issue a 5 day notice to pay or vacate. If rent is not paid by the end of the 5 day notice period, landlord will start an eviction action. Any costs of such action and costs of an eviction move will be passed on to the tenant.

Fees & Late Fees:
NSF Checks - $40 Late Rent - $40
Property damages beyond normal wear and tear and cleaning after move out @ $25/hr + materials. Re-Renting apartment on behalf of tenant (late or no vacating notice or breaking lease) – actual costs of re-renting which may include costs of advertising, showing rent due through end of lease until apartment is rented and re-renting. Repair work done by a contractor will be billed at the contractor’s cost. Tenant agrees that unpaid late fees, nsf check fees, re-renting fee notice, & court fees can be deducted from security deposit if due after tenant moves out.

Vacating:
If vacating at the end of a year lease (or any lease longer than month to month) tenant must give landlord a written notice to vacate at least 30 days before the expiration of the lease. If timely vacating notice is not given, tenancy will continue on month to month basis.

If vacating on a month to month lease, tenant must give landlord a written notice to vacate by the first of the final month of tenancy.

If tenant fails to give proper notice, no notice, is evicted, or lease is otherwise terminated, tenant is responsible for rent until the end of the lease term or until apartment is re-rented – whichever comes first (ex. On a month to month lease, the lease term would be over at the end of the following month). If tenant vacates apartment during tenancy for any reason (and landlord is informed of the tenant vacating), landlord will attempt to re-rent the apartment on tenant’s behalf. Tenant will not be charged rent for time the unit is re-rented to a new tenant, but will pay landlord a re-renting fee of $100 or the costs of advertising, showing, and any other costs associated with re-renting the unit, whichever is greater.
