What happens in Discovery Square when the lease is over?
At the end of the lease in Discovery Square, either party can opt to end the tenancy. The property owner could choose not to renew the lease or the tenant could choose to not to renew the lease. If the rental investor wishes to end the lease, or conclude our rental 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 property producing the highest possible net income. This means that we will often create a new lease for a renter 6 to 8 weeks before the end of the lease in order to renew the lease.
At that point we give the renter two choices:
- 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 renters break the lease
Sometimes circumstances arise that require a tenant to end the lease before the lease term is over. If this occures, Nesbitt Realty tries to minimize the impact of this event on the owner. If a renter leaves with little or no notice, this will surely cause the renter to lose the deposit but this is never a windfall for the rental investor. That money is consumed by paying for vacancy and the cost of acquiring a new renter .
Readying the rental investment
We will have the carpet professional cleaned upon renter move-out and the actual cost of carpeting will be deducted from the tenant 's security deposit, per your lease.
We recommend that the rental investor 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.
