What happens in Castleton when the lease ends?
At the end of the lease in Castleton, either party can opt to end the tenancy. The property 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 end our management services, please send us written notice as described in your management agreement.
If 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 often contact 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 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 renters break the lease
Sometimes things happen which make a tenant to end the lease before the lease term is over. When this happens, Nesbitt Realty tries to minimize the impact of this event on the owner. If a tenant leaves with little or no notice, this will surely cause the renter to surrender the deposit but this is never a windfall for the property 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 landlord 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.
