No.

Your lease is a binding contract. If you do decide to move out early, you are still required to pay the entire amount of rent every month. Per your lease, you are also required to keep on all main utilities (Water, Gas, and Electricity) throughout the entire lease period.

You can sublet but ultimately you are still responsible under the terms of the lease.

Yes, at an additional cost depending on # of bedrooms.

Some of our rentals already have monitored security systems. On the ones that don't, you may, at your expense & with prior written approval, install a system.

We do not recommend this. If you do paint it, you must return it to its original color and sheen and done to our satisfaction.

Only if you patch the holes and paint the patches so that you cannot tell that anything was hung there previously.

No, sorry but we do not offer 6-month leases.
- Can we stay second year?
Current year tenants have priority to stay a second year with or without new roommate(s) Tenants must notify us by mid January of their desire to renew, after that we can not guarantee renewal. A new lease must be signed by the end of January. Depending on anticipated or current costs, there may be a minimal rent increase for the second year.
- Do you charge a redecorating fee or cleaning fee?
No, we do not. We encourage you to keep and leave the place in a good rentable condition (Clean and damage free as when you received it), then we will not have to use your security deposit to pay to restore the premises to a rentable condition. Therefore, deposits are fully refundable if no additional payments, damages and/ or cleaning costs are incurred during the lease period.
- Do you use separate leases for each bedroom?
No, the whole house is leased to you all as a group, if one person moves out, the rest of the tenants including the absent roommate are still responsible for the full rent.
- How do I reserve a home?
We require a holding deposit, which varies depending on the rental property. As we are removing that property from the market and loose the potential to rent it to other qualified prospects, the deposit may be forfeited in the event that after 7 days, we do not get a signed lease and other paperwork that we require. Otherwise, the holding deposit is credited to your total security deposit.
- How do I see a house that I am interested in?
Please keep in mind our properties are occupied 100% of the time, they are shown by appointment only. If you are interested in one of our units, please contact us to schedule a showing. Do not disturb the current residents.
- How secure are the houses?
We have installed dead bolts, window locks, and in some cases monitored security systems in our homes and feel that precautions have been made to ensure that our homes are secure. However, if doors, and windows are left slightly ajar or unlocked, entry will be possible.. The UA area is subject to the same incidence of burglaries and other crimes as most neighborhoods; caution is your best defense.
- Other Questions?
Please feel free to contact our office with any questions you have.
- What happens if one of us needs or wants to move-out?
If a roommate wants to vacate the house before the lease runs out, it is the responsibility of all parties who
have signed the lease to find a suitable replacement or to cover that person’s share of the rent.
- What happens if something in the house breaks or stops working properly?
Any damage to any part of the property must be reported immediately to management (not the maintenance man). This includes damage to appliances, the interior or exterior of the house, or any features such as the A/C, water heater, or electronic garage door opener. Problems can be reported by calling the office at 884-3410. In the event of an emergency, immediately call our office at 520 884-3410. If it is after hours an emergency phone # will be listed. Plumbing clogs, pest control, and routine maintenance (such as light bulb/filter replacements, lint build up in the dryer filter or hose, etc.) are the responsibility of the tenant.
- What if I lock myself out?
Lockout is not considered an emergency. If lockout occurs during office hours come by office to get key. Be prepared to bring an ID and leave something of value so that we get the spare key back. If locked out after hours, there is a $75.00 fee charged. You may also call a locksmith. Remember that if you break something trying to get into your house, you will be required to pay for the repairs which usually ends up being much more expensive than calling for help.
