Property Inspections

Prior to renewing the lease, property inspections are conducted to ensure that the property is being maintained to the expected standard. Here's what you can expect regarding property inspections:

  1. Initial Inspection

    • The first inspection occurs at the time you move in or within 1 week before or after taking possession of the premises.
    • An electronic report will be provided to you.

  2. Renewal Inspections

    • Generally, another inspection is conducted approximately 2 - 3 months before the end of your lease term.
    • You will be notified of this inspection via email.
    • These inspections are completed by you and submitted to us electronically.

During these inspections, we aim to:

  • Identify Maintenance Needs

    • Identify any routine maintenance requirements to address them promptly.

  • Medium to Long Term Improvements

    • Outline any medium to long-term improvements that may be required, such as new flooring or heating systems.

  • Property Care and Cleanliness

    • Check that the property is being well cared for and is kept clean and tidy.

  • Lease Rate Determination

    • Assist us in determining the lease rate for the new term of the tenancy.

These inspections are crucial for maintaining the property's quality and ensuring your comfort. Your cooperation in completing and submitting the required inspections electronically is appreciated. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the inspection process, feel free to reach out to us.

Lease Renewals

Your lease agreement comes with a specified end date, and it's important to note that leases do not renew automatically. Here's what you can expect as your lease term approaches its end:

  1. Notification Timeline

    • Normally, between 2 to 3 months before your lease end date, we will reach out to you and inquire about your intentions regarding lease renewal.

  2. Communication Method

    • You can notify us of your intent to renew or vacate through email to our staff or via the tenant portal.

  3. Confirmation of Notice

    • Ensure you receive a response confirming the receipt of your notice.

  4. Lease Renewal Offer

    • If you express your intention to renew the lease, we will subsequently offer you a lease renewal term.

  5. Non-Renewal Planning

    • If you inform us that you will not be renewing the lease, we will begin planning to advertise the property for new tenants and schedule a move-out inspection date/time toward the end of your lease term.

This process is designed to facilitate clear communication and ensure that both parties are well-informed and prepared for the next steps. If you have any questions or need clarification during this process, feel free to reach out to our staff. Your timely communication helps us plan effectively and provide you with the best possible leasing experience.

Rent Increases

We value transparency in our leasing agreements, and any changes to your lease term and rates at the time of renewal will be communicated to you in writing. Our goal is to maintain positive relationships with our tenants and conduct business fairly regarding lease rates.

It's essential for tenants to recognize that the costs associated with owning and maintaining rental properties typically increase annually. This may include various factors such as property maintenance, utilities, and overall operational expenses. We appreciate your understanding of these considerations as we work together to ensure a fair and mutually beneficial leasing experience. If you have any questions or concerns about potential changes, please don't hesitate to reach out for clarification.
