Lease terms

Renters should understand that the lease is a **legally binding agreement** that outlines expectations for both parties. Key terms include the **length of the lease (typically 12 months) monthly rent amount, due date, and any applicable late fees. A **security deposit** is required prior to move-in and will be returned at the end of the lease, provided there is no damage beyond normal wear and tear. Tenants are responsible for maintaining the unit in good condition and must follow all property rules, including policies on **guests, noise, and alterations to the apartment**. Renters should also be aware of which **utilities they are responsible for** versus what the landlord covers. Any requests for repairs should be submitted promptly, and the landlord will address them in a timely manner. Early termination of the lease may result in fees unless otherwise agreed upon in writing. Before signing, renters are encouraged to **review all terms carefully and ask questions** to ensure full understanding and alignment.
