Description

Vacancies are advertised on our website and through other listing services, single flyers and in various newspapers. A detailed description of the unit and property is provided so the prospect can decide if the property suits their needs and gives them the contact information to make an on-site visit. -The goal of this important process is to match the right property to the individual needs and requirements of the prospective resident. From the owner's perspective, they are looking to place a resident in their property who will: - - - An application is filled out completely by the prospect and is submitted with a photo I.D. and a $30 application fee. The application is verified and cross checked in a number of ways including: - - - - Once the application is approved, the move-in money (consisting of a security deposit and first month's rent) is collected in the form of a cashier's check or money order only. The lease is reviewed with the new resident, signed and the keys are transferred. -The New Move-in Inspection The resident and the manager tour the unit together and mark any items that are new or need to be identified so the new tenant will not be charged for them upon their move-out (such as a broken tile or carpet stain). The move-in inspection list is incorporated into the lease along with a form to request another inspection, when the official notice to move is given by the tenant in the future. -The security deposit is for the owner's protection against unforeseen damage to his property that is being leased to you. You may not use the security deposit as the last month's rent. The last month's rent must be paid in full as usual. The security deposit refunds and accounting of any charges are mailed within 21 days of vacating the unit and returning the keys. Typical charges to expect to see would be a charge for professionally cleaning the unit and shampooing the carpets. There is no charge for normal "wear and tear". Occasionally disputes do arise questioning certain charges for damages. The purpose of the pre-move-in inspection and the pre move-out inspection with the manager is to identify problems that can be corrected by the tenant and have any questions resolved before move out. Make sure to provide a forwarding address so your security deposit can be mailed to you. -Once the pre-move-in inspection, signing the lease and receiving the keys is completed, the next step is to move-in to your new home. Your home will have been professionally painted and cleaned and all obvious repairs will have been completed by the management before your move-in date. During the first few days of living in your new home you may find some minor repair items that need to be addressed. The simplest way to do this is to make a list of the items and fax them to our office at (310) 559-1255 or (818) 459-6093. Indicate if we can enter your home if you are not there and we will schedule the repairs just as soon as possible. Most of the items will be "small" but we know they are important to you and your satisfaction is our top priority.
