What is an emergency? Who should I call?
Fires, floods, lack of water or heat, any structural damage to the property would all typically be considered emergencies. The emergency line can be used if you are locked out and have no way to gain access to the property. A tenant is responsible for the costs associated with a lock out. Typical items such as: a leaky faucet, no air conditioning, no electricity to a certain area of the house would not be considered an emergency and should be reported the next time the office is open.
Who is responsible for paying for repairs & maintenance requests?
The owner is required to maintain certain items in the property, while some items are to their discretion. Any repairs deemed to be from the neglect or misuse of a tenant will be a tenant’s responsibility.
Who needs a cosigner?
Any applicant who does not meet the requirements for credit and/or rental history. There are a few exceptions where a cosigner might be necessary due to additional reasons.
