At all times during the tenancy, a tenant shall:

  • Please do not park on the grass;

  • Subleasing is not permitted unless explicit permission in writing is given AND APPROVED by the landlord;
  • Addition or removal of a tenant to lease within the lease term must be done via email. Please email all concerns regarding adding or removing a tenant to the lease to: landlord@JimFeltmanHomes.com;
  • If a tenant is locked out of the property, the landlord will allow one occurrence of good faith to give the tenant access to the property. Tenants may obtain another key from Jim Feltman Homes Property Management for a $25.00 fee;
  • Tenants must return ORIGINAL keys to property and mailbox (if applicable) to property management team upon end of lease or tenant will be fined $50.00 per key they neglect to return;
  • Jim Feltman Homes, Inc., is not responsible for any lost/stolen personal property.
  • All tenants will be provided with a move in checklist, you will have 48 hours from move in date to fill out and bring back.
  • JFH requests that all tenants check the smoke detectors once a month. Any smoke detector found not functioning properly should be reported immediately to JFH. Tenant is financially responsible for the replacement batteries as needed.
  • Tenants shall be responsible for all window/screen repair or replacement during the term of lease. Tenants will not be responsible for any damages to windows, screens, or doors that are weather related.
  • If the above property has a fireplace, the tenant is solely responsible for providing the landlord with a cleaning service and invoice if use of said fireplace is intended. With invoice and bill of work completion, the tenant may be reimbursed by the landlord for said cleaning.
  • Tenants of rental houses are responsible for mowing the lawn monthly, unless otherwise agreed to and violation will result in a $50.00 fee.
  • Air conditioning unit filters must be replaced monthly by the tenant unless otherwise agreed in writing. AIR FILTERS WILL BE available for purchase when you sign the lease. If there is an HVAC issue at any point in lease and it is discovered that the tenant is not changing the air filters monthly, the tenant then agrees to pay for the LABOR AND PARTS REQUIRED TO FIX THE HVAC. THIS IS A FRIENDLY REMINDER THAT THE AVERAGE COST OF AN HVAC RELATED SERVICE CALL IS $600. Please help us keep these AC’s running, and with a clean filter! Changing light bulbs is the responsibility of the tenant. Another friendly reminder, a very dirty A/C filter increases the power bill substantially!

  • Comply with all building, housing and health codes and keep the dwelling clean and sanitary;
  • Remove garbage from the dwelling in a clean and sanitary manner;
  • Keep plumbing fixtures clean and in good repair;

  • Conduct themselves and require their guests to conduct themselves in a manner that does not unreasonably disturb the tenant’s neighbors or constitute a breach of the peace.
