How do I get help for a maintenance
problem?
We first suggest you reference your
Tenant Handbook under the care & use
section prior to submitting a
maintenance request. All maintenance
requests must be made in writing.
You may submit your request through
our website or by emailing your
property manager.
-
How long should I wait to hear back
from someone regarding a maintenance
problem?
In a non-emergency situation, please
allow three days. If you have not
heard from our office or our vendor
in three days, please contact your
property manager directly.

What do I do in an emergency?
If this is an after hours emergency,
please call our 24 hour emergency
cell phone 941-323-9513. (Examples
of emergencies are active water
leaking, flooding, air conditioner
not working, sparks from appliances,
fire, gas odors etc.)

How much do you collect prior to
moving in?
When a tenant is approved, we
require one month’s rent and a
security deposit equal to one times
the monthly rent. If pets are
allowed, an additional deposit (to
be determined by owner and property
manager) would be required at the
time of move in.
-
How are utilities handled?
Tenants are responsible for all
utility charges, unless otherwise
agreed upon in advance and in
writing. They must also change all
billing information to their name
and mailing address as of the
move-in date stated on the Lease.
-
What am I responsible for
maintaining?
Residents are responsible for
maintaining air conditioning filters
and fresh smoke detector batteries
at all times. This may mean changing
them at least twice each year or
more frequently as needed. Light
bulbs that are easily accessible
also need to be maintained by the
residents. In certain situations,
yard maintenance may be required.
Please refer to your individual
residential lease.
-
Do I need approval to paint or
change something in the home I am
renting?
Any and all changes or modifications
to the property must be requested in
writing to your property manager.
Do I need renter’s insurance?
It is highly recommended that all
residents carry enough insurance to
cover themselves and their personal
property. Please consult with your
insurance agent for specific
details.
-
What happens if I need to move
before the end of my lease?
Please refer to your copy of your
residential lease. Contact your
property manager as soon as possible
to discuss this situation in detail.
-
What happens if only one roommate
wants to move out?
Contact your property manager
directly for the necessary forms to
remove one roommate from the lease
paperwork and/or have a new roommate
added. Your property manager will
discuss the lease re-write fee as
well as the procedures for handling
the security deposit.
