TENANT TIPS 

HARRELL Group Real Estate Services pays attention to the ever changing landlord tenant laws in order to protect our clients from liability. If you have questions about your rights, please feel free to call us at anytime. 

It is a common misconception that owners do not want their residents to contact them when they have a maintenance issue. NOT TRUE!! Many issues that occur around a home do not require a major expense but if neglected, could become a much larger problem. If it is causing an inconvenience to you it is possible that the landlord would be willing to repair the item. It is just as important to the landlord in most cases that the home remains occupied and in good condition. Do not fear retaliatory actions from the landlord. Report the problem by clicking here. I think you will find most landlords appreciate your diligence with regards to the care of their home.

Move Out Notice

Before moving out, you must give our office advance written notice as provided below. You may print a move-out condition form by clicking here. Your move-out notice will not release you from liability for the full term of the Lease Contract or renewal term. You will still be liable for the entire Lease Contract term if you move out early (paragraph 22) except under paragraphs 10, 16, 22, 23, or 31 of your lease.

YOUR MOVE-OUT NOTICE MUST COMPLY WITH EACH OF THE FOLLOWING:

• We must recieve advance written notice of your move-out date. The advance notice must be at least the number of days of notice required in paragraph 3 or in special provisions -- even if the Lease Contract has become month-to-month. If a move-out notice is received on the first, it will suffice for move-out on the last day of the month of intended omve-out, provided that all other requirements below are met. 
• The move-out date in your notice must be the last day of the month. 
• Your move-out notice must be in writing. Oral move-out notice will not be accepted and will not terminate your Lease Contract. 
• Your move-out notice must not terminate the Lease Contract sooner than the end of the Lease Contract term or renewal period. 
• If we require you to give us more than 30 days written notice to move-out before the end of the lease term, we will give you a written reminder not less than 5 days nor more than 90 days before your deadline for giving us your written move-out notice. If we fail to provide a reminder notice, 30 days written notice to move-out is required.
