Lease terms

Rental Terms & Resident Requirements Thank you for your interest in the property. Please review the following rental terms and community guidelines before submitting an application. These terms are intended to provide a clear and comfortable understanding of the expectations for the tenancy. Lease Term 12-month fixed-term residential lease. The lease start and expiration dates will be clearly stated in the rental agreement. Any renewal or non-renewal of the lease will be handled according to the written lease and applicable Florida law. If the lease requires advance notice before the end of the term, the notice period will be stated in the lease and will comply with Florida law. Rent & Payment Rent is due on the 1st of each month. Rent must be paid according to the payment method and instructions specified in the lease. Any applicable late fees will be clearly stated in the lease and must comply with applicable Florida law. Failure to pay rent may result in the notices and remedies provided under Florida law. Florida currently provides a specific statutory notice process for nonpayment of rent. Security Deposit A security deposit is required as specified in the lease. The security deposit may be used for lawful charges permitted under the rental agreement and Florida law, including qualifying damage beyond ordinary wear and tear, unpaid rent, or other amounts legally owed. The handling, notice, and return of the security deposit will comply with Florida Statutes 83.49. Property Condition & Six-Month Inspection To help keep the property well maintained: A property-condition checklist will be emailed to the resident at approximately the six-month mark of the tenancy. The resident will have 30 days to complete and return the checklist. Residents are also expected to report maintenance issues, damage, leaks, or needed repairs promptly rather than waiting for the six-month inspection. Residents remain responsible for damage caused by their negligence, misuse, unauthorized alterations, or failure to properly report a known problem, as permitted by the lease and Florida law. Utilities & Trash Utilities and trash service are the resident's responsibility, unless otherwise stated in the lease. The resident is responsible for establishing required utility accounts in their own name and maintaining those services throughout the tenancy. The specific utilities and services for which the resident is responsible will be identified in the lease. Occupancy & Guests Only approved residents listed on the lease may establish residency at the property. Anyone who will be residing at the property or staying on a regular or extended basis must receive prior written approval and, when required, be added to the lease. Any required applicant screening or background check will be completed before approval, and any applicable screening fee will be disclosed in advance. - Guests are permitted subject to the guest, occupancy, HOA, and community rules contained in the lease. Pets Pets are permitted only if specifically approved in writing by the landlord and subject to the property's pet requirements. An applicable nonrefundable pet fee may be required before an approved pet moves into the property. Pet fees, restrictions, breed/size requirements, and any additional pet terms will be stated in the lease or applicable pet addendum. Assistance animals and other accommodations required by applicable law are not treated as ordinary pets. Maintenance & Care of the Property Residents are expected to: Keep the premises clean and sanitary. Use appliances, plumbing, electrical systems, heating, and air-conditioning systems responsibly. Promptly report maintenance problems or damage. Avoid damaging, altering, or removing property belonging to the landlord. Ensure that guests and other persons they invite onto the property also comply with applicable rules. Florida law independently places maintenance and conduct responsibilities on tenants, including maintaining the dwelling in a clean and sanitary condition and avoiding unreasonable disturbance of neighbors. HOA & Community Rules: The property is subject to applicable HOA and community restrictions. Residents must comply with all applicable HOA rules, including rules concerning: -Noise and disturbances -Parking -Common areas -Trash -Loitering -Guests -Property appearance -Conduct toward neighbors A copy of the applicable HOA restrictions will be provided to the approved resident before or at lease signing. Complaints or violations will be addressed in accordance with the lease, HOA requirements, and Florida law. Depending on the nature of the violation, Florida law may require an opportunity to cure, while certain serious, subsequent, or continuing violations may be handled differently. Noise & Neighbor Consideration: Residents and their guests are expected to maintain a peaceful residential environment. Excessive noise, unreasonable disturbances, disruptive behavior, property damage, or conduct that interferes with neighbors' reasonable enjoyment of their homes is not permitted. Lease Violations & Termination: If a resident violates the lease, HOA rules, or applicable Florida landlord-tenant requirements, the landlord will follow the notice and termination procedures required by the lease and Florida law. The landlord will not rely on a blanket "one warning and automatic termination" provision. Depending on the violation, Florida law may provide a specific cure period or may permit termination without an additional opportunity to cure for certain serious or repeated violations. For nonpayment of rent, Florida law provides a specific statutory notice procedure, including a 3-day notice period excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and court-observed legal holidays. End of the 12-Month Lease This is a fixed-term lease and is intended to remain in effect through the stated expiration date unless it is otherwise terminated as permitted by the lease or applicable law. If the lease contains an end-of-term notice requirement, the required notice period will be stated in the lease and will be between 30 and 60 days, consistent with Florida Statutes 83.575. The landlord must provide the corresponding notice required by that statute if the lease will not be renewed. Additional Terms: Additional property-specific requirements, HOA restrictions, fees, occupancy requirements, maintenance responsibilities, and other conditions will be included in the written lease and applicable addenda. In the event of a conflict between a rental advertisement and the executed lease, the signed lease and applicable Florida law will control. These rental terms are provided for informational purposes and are not intended to waive, limit, or replace any rights or responsibilities provided by Florida law.
