What happens in Bentonville when the lease ends?
At the end of the lease in Bentonville, either party can opt to end the tenancy. The owner could choose not to renew the lease or the tenant could choose to not to renew the lease. If the property owner wishes to end the lease, or end our property management services, please send us written notice as described in your rental management agreement.
If we don't receive such notice, we will strive to make choices that will keep your property producing the highest possible net income. This means that we will often create a new lease for a tenant 6 to 8 weeks before the end of the lease in order to renew the lease.
At that point we give the tenant two options:
- Month-to-month --- This will include a large rent increase.
- Renew the lease --- This will lock the property up for another year with a small rent increase.
When renters break the lease
Sometimes things happen which make a tenant to end the lease before the lease term is over. If this happens, Nesbitt Realty tries to minimize the impact of this event on the rental owner. If a tenant leaves with little or no notice, this will surely cause the renter to lose the deposit but this is never a windfall for the rental owner. That money is consumed by paying for vacancy and the cost of acquiring a new tenant .
Readying the rental investment
We will have the carpet professional cleaned upon renter move-out and the actual cost of carpeting will be deducted from the tenant 's security deposit, per your lease.
We recommend that the property owner replace the carpet every 5 to 7 years. We recommend that the owner paint every 5 to 7 years.
Utilities
During vacancies we will either put the utilities in our name or in the property owner's name.
