Read the lease carefully before you consider signing. Here are some of the highlights:\r
\r
-Management doesn't have to give any notice before entering.\r
-Any Realtor has unrestricted access to the property via a keybox during the last 60 days of the lease without any notice. And if anything is stolen during a showing,\r
the tenant agrees to hold the management ""harmless"".\r
-Storing a gallon of gasoline in an approved container puts the tenant in violation of the lease\r
-Management can remove any vehicle parked on the grass, sell it, and keep\r
the money from the sale\r
-Management will not tell you if there is a home owner's association or not\r
-If rent is not received by midnight on the 1st of the month, there is a 10%\r
fee. Use of the US Mail is ""at own risk"". This is regardless of whether their office is open or not on the 1st of the month due to weekend / holidays.\r
-There ""may be"" a check processing fee. Nothing in the lease about what this fee is, just that there may be one.\r
\r
The lease takes away many rights and protections for the renter.
