What happens in Middletown when the lease is over?
At the end of the lease in Middletown, either party can opt to end the tenancy. The owner 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 management agreement.
When 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 usually contact a tenant 6 to 8 weeks before the end of the lease term 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 up for another year with a small rent increase.
When renters break the lease
Sometimes circumstances arise which make a renter to break the lease. 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 rental owner. That money is consumed by paying for vacancy and the cost of acquiring a new renter .
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 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.
