Let's talk about your lease without a law degree. You signed the lease, but did you read it? Be honest. We're not judging. Leases are long, but there are 5 things you really need to know. 1. Your rent due date. And yes, late fees are real and they apply to you. 2. Your maintenance responsibilities. Light bulbs? Those are yours. HVAC filters? Those are yours. Structural issues? That would be us and the owner. Number 3: your guest policy. Guest means visiting, not relocated into your house. Number 4: your early termination fees. Breaking a lease has consequences. They are in writing. It's in the lease that you signed. Number 5: your notice requirements. Are you moving out? We need a notice. How much notice? That's in your lease as well. We're here to answer questions, ideally before they become a problem. Follow us at Resolute RDM.
