Property Management Questions & Answers

Question:
The tenants living in one of our apartments signed a one-year lease which states that there will be no pets allowed. They now have two cats in the apartment and are only in the second month of the lease. We served a 3-day notice to perform covenant or quit. They have chosen to leave. The rent for the entire month was paid. Are they entitled to the prorated amount of rent for the unused portion of the month?
Answer:
No, they are liable for the remainder of the lease or up to the time you relet the premises, whichever occurs first.

Question:
My tenants paid an extra deposit for a pet. They gave away the dog after 2 months. Now they are asking if the pet deposit could be returned.
Answer:
You do not have to account for the use of the deposit until 21 days from the date they return possession of the premises, so don’t refund any of the deposit.

Question:
I rented an apartment to a young man; he signed a one-year lease and paid the deposit and first month’s rent in full. He moved in today and less than 24 hours later, he is requesting to get out of his lease because another apartment that he prefers became available. Is there any kind of buyer’s remorse on signing a lease?
Answer:
Your tenant is obligated to pay rent through the lease term or until the time the premises are relet, whichever occurs first. There is no buyer’s remorse.
