TENANT INFORMATION

 

Make sure to put the utilities into your name before the start of the lease period. It is typically cheaper to have the Utilities just switch the service into your name (even if the service will start a day or two before you move in) than to pay a hook-up fee. If you do not connect the utilities by the first day of the lease, an additional charge of $50.00, per utility, is billed to you by the landlord.

• No smoking on the premises.

• No pets allowed, not even to visit, without written permission from landlord.

• Rent is late after 5:00 pm on the 3rd day of the month. (unless you pay on the 15th, then after the 17th it is late) If late, a 10% late fee is applied and is to be paid within 10 days of notice in a separate check (or cash) from the rent check. The rent can be dropped off at 426 Main Ave. in Brookings.
