Tips
on how to remain a good tenant...
- Pay
your rent on time:
- Send your rent check
directly to your landlord at the mailing address
as written on your lease agreement, at least
3-5 days before it is due depending on how
long the US Mail will take to deliver it to
the landlord's address. Contact your landlord
right away in the event that you may be late
with the rent due to an unforeseen family
problem. REMEMBER, COMMUNICATION IS THE BEST
WAY TO AVOID ANY PROBLEMS WITH YOUR LANDLORD.
- Be sure that you transfer
all of the utilities that you are responsible
for paying for the first day of the lease agreement.
- Take care
of the property:
- Keep your rental home
in good working order by repairing problems
right away and maintaining the cosmetic condition
of the home.
- Read and
understand your rental agreement:
- Be sure to keep
your lease in a safe place so you may refer
to it should you have questions pertaining
to any part of your agreement. In the event
that you lose your lease contact your landlord
and request that they mail you a copy of the
original lease agreement that you both signed.
In the event that the landlord does not have
a copy you may order a copy of your lease
for $15.00 by contacting RENT
ME FLORIDA, FINANCE DEPARTMENT.
- Be a good
neighbor:
- Use
common sense about guests, parties, noise
and related items, and by keeping the outside
of your home free of garbage and keeping the
lawn groomed.
- If
parking spaces are provided for you, use only
the spaces designated to you and your guests.
- Consider obtaining "Rental
Insurance.
- Immediately call or email
directly to the landlordany problems theyare responsible
for.

your landlord does not contact you within 24 hours
