Renters Insurance
As stated in your lease, please keep in mind that renter's insurance is required if stated. While we have landlord insurance, this policy does not cover your belongings. Please set up renters insurance on your portal or provide your current renters insurance.
Keys
Please email or call me at 269-267-6550 the day before your lease begins, to arrange to pick up your keys. Typically, keys will be in a lockbox. You will be given a code once the deposit has been made utilities are transferred and the lease is signed.
We expect that all sets of keys be returned at the end of the lease. There is a [$70] fee if keys are lost or stolen since we'll need to re-key the property for your safety and the safety of the other residents.

Payments are due on the 1st of the month. Anything received after the 4th of the month is considered late and will have a late fee of $35.00

Trash Collection
Please check your city or township's website for information regarding bulk trash dates. Regular trash/recycling information will be provided once you sign up with a provider (republic or best way). Please be sure to place all garbage into plastic bags and trash cans, so that rats and other pests can't get in. The city is strict on trash left on the street or if the garbage can lids don't close completely. Please be aware that you may get fined if you do not comply. Please also be sure not to put trash into the recycling bin.

Condition of the Property
We work very hard to make sure you have a welcoming, warm, and safe home. Before any tenant moves in, we repair anything that may have been broken during the prior tenant's residency. We also hire a professional cleaning service before you move in. It's important to us to provide a fresh start for you. We do expect that the property, at the end of the lease, is left in the same condition as when you move in.
