What is a Security Deposit?
We require a security deposit for all long-term rentals. In most cases it is the same amount as the monthly rent. The Security Deposit is held in a Trust Account until the Tenant moves out. If the tenant leaves the property like they found it, with no damage, clean and with no unpaid rent, the Security Deposit will be returned to the tenant. Security Deposits may be used to cover unpaid rent and damage to the property. It cannot be use to pay for normal wear and tear.

All rent must be paid electronically. We do not accept cash or checks. We will send a reminder email to the tenant every month when the rent is due.
