What happens in Warren County when the lease ends?
At the end of the lease in Warren County, either party can opt to end the tenancy. The rental investor could choose not to renew the lease or the renter could choose to not to renew the lease. If the rental owner wishes to end the lease, or conclude our management services, please send us written notice as described in your property 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 renter 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 rental property up for another year with a small rent increase.
When tenants break the lease
Sometimes circumstances arise which make a renter to break the lease. If this occures, 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 tenant to surrender 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 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 rental investor paint every 5 to 7 years.
Utilities
During vacancies we will either put the utilities in our name or in the landlord's name.
