Resident Policies Overview

This guide covers the most important terms of your lease and our community rules. Knowing these key points helps ensure a smooth, worry-free residency.

1. Your Lease Agreement

This is the fundamental document for your residency.

Action Item: Please **read your lease thoroughly** to understand all rights and responsibilities for both you and Advanced Realty.

2. Property Use and Changes

The property is rented for **residential use only**.

  • **Commercial Use** is strictly prohibited without **prior written consent** from Advanced Realty.
  • **Alterations:** Any changes or major repairs require **prior written agreement**. Advanced Realty may require work to be done by licensed professionals.

3. Maintenance and Emergencies

The resident is expected to handle **routine, minor maintenance**.

Type of Issue Action Required
Safety/Damage Threat (e.g., Leaks, Electrical) You **must contact Advanced Realty immediately** to report.
Utility Emergency Contact the **utility company line first**, then notify Advanced Realty.

**WARNING:** Failure to report severe issues promptly could result in expensive repairs being assessed to your account.

4. Rent Payments and Fees

Payments are due as specified in the lease. Late or nonpayment of rent may result in late charges, eviction proceedings, and will be **reported to the three major credit bureaus** (including co-signers).

How Payments Are Applied (Priority of Charges)

If your payment is less than the total amount due, funds are applied in this order:

  1. First: Applied to outstanding charges (repairs, late fees).
  2. Second: Applied to any back rent due.
  3. Last: Applied only then to current rent due.

5. Community and Association Rules

You must adhere to the **Homeowner Association regulations or condominium rules** if applicable. Copies of these rules (CC&R’s) will be supplied by Advanced Realty.

6. Pets and Vehicles

  • **Pets:** All animals (including temporary visits or pet-sitting) must be **approved by Advanced Realty** and listed on the lease.
  • **Vehicles:** Only vehicles owned by residents and **listed on the lease** are permitted. Unlisted vehicles remaining over seven days risk being **towed at the owner’s expense**.

7. Renters Insurance and Utilities

Your responsibilities before moving in:

  1. Obtain **Renters Insurance** (property and liability) as required by the lease.
  2. Assume all required utility accounts.

**Proof of Insurance must be provided to the company within 30 days of moving in.**

8. Notice to Vacate
