What happens in Catharpin when the lease term ends?
At the end of the lease in Catharpin, either party can opt to end the tenancy. The owner could choose not to renew the lease or the renter could choose to not to renew the lease. If the rental investor wishes to end the lease, or conclude our property management services, please send us written notice as described in your rental management agreement.
When we don't receive such notice, we will strive to make choices that will keep your rental producing the highest possible net income. This means that we will usually contact a renter 6 to 8 weeks before the end of the lease term in order to renew the lease.
At that point we give the tenant two choices:
- 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 tenants break the lease
Sometimes things happen which make a renter to break the lease. If this occures, Nesbitt Realty tries to minimize the impact of this event on the property 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 owner. That money is consumed by paying for vacancy and the cost of acquiring a new tenant .
Readying the rental property
We will have the carpet professional cleaned upon tenant move-out and the actual cost of carpeting will be deducted from the renter 's security deposit, per your lease.
We recommend that the landlord replace the carpet every 5 to 7 years. We recommend that the property 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.
