Lease terms

1. Financial Terms & Fee Structures Rent Details: Note the exact monthly rent, due date (typically the 1st), acceptable payment methods, and grace period details. Late Fees: Understand when late fees apply and the amount charged (in North Carolina, late fees are capped at $15 or 5% of monthly rent, whichever is greater). Deposits & Refunds: Verify the security deposit amount, pet deposit/fees, holding fees, and conditions required to receive a full refund upon move-out. Utilities: Clarify which utilities are included in the rent (water, trash, cable/internet) and which must be set up and paid directly by the tenant. 2. Lease Duration & Renewal Terms Lease Term: Confirm the start and end dates of the lease (e.g., 12-month fixed term, month-to-month). Renewal Notice: Note how many days in advance notice must be provided before the lease ends to either renew or vacate (typically 30 to 60 days). Automatic Renewal Clauses: Check if the lease automatically transitions to a month-to-month agreement or auto-renews for another full term if notice is not given. 3. Maintenance, Alterations & Entry Rights Landlord vs. Tenant Maintenance: Understand who is responsible for routine lawn care, pest control, gutter cleaning, HVAC filter replacements, and minor repairs. Property Modifications: Check restrictions on painting walls, hanging items with large nails/screws, changing locks, or making structural adjustments. Landlord Right of Entry: Review rules regarding when and how much advance notice the landlord must give before entering for routine maintenance or property showings (typically 24 hours notice). 4. Restrictions & Special Policies Pet Policies: Check breed, size, weight, or species limits, as well as monthly pet rent or non-refundable fees. Subletting & Guest Policy: Verify if subletting or short-term rentals (e.g., Airbnb) are banned, and review rules on how long non-resident guests can stay. HOA Rules: If the property is in a homeowners association (like Amberly), confirm that HOA bylaws (parking restrictions, trash bin rules, quiet hours) are attached to and part of the lease terms.
