Tenant Frequently Asked Questions

No.  In accordance with the Security Deposit paragraph of the lease agreement , TENANT cannot dictate that this deposit be used for any rent due. 

Please note that the lease does not include an early termination clause. The only exception for early termination without penalty is for active military personnel who are deployed.

If you choose to terminate the lease early, you would be responsible for paying rent until the end of the lease term or until the property is re-rented, whichever occurs first.

The relevant details regarding default are outlined in the following paragraph of your lease:

DEFAULT:  Failure of TENANT to pay rent or any additional rent when due… 

TENANT’S abandonment of the premises, shall constitute a default by TENANT.  Upon default, TENANT shall owe LANDLORD rent and all sums as they become due under the terms of this lease and any addenda attached hereto and any and all amounts owed to LANDLORD as permitted by Florida law…

TENANT abandons or surrenders possession of the premises during the lease term or any renewals, or is evicted by the LANDLORD, LANDLORD may retake possession of the premises and make a good faith effort to re-rent it for the TENANT account.  Retaking of possession shall not constitute a rescission of this lease nor a surrender of the leasehold estate… TENANT shall be responsible for any leasing fee or commission charge which OWNER may incur in attempting to re-lease the premises through a licensed real estate company. 

We understand the freezer doesn’t seem to be working correctly. We can schedule  our appliance repairman to check it out. With that said, 9 times out of 10 when we get this type of call from tenants, it turns out to be because the door is left ajar unknowingly.  Sometimes this happens if the door is closed too hard causing it to bounce back and not allowing a properly closed seal. Or there can be something obstructing it from sealing properly when closed. Go ahead submit a Request via our Resident Portal.  Please keep an eye on this overnight and be sure the door is closing properly.  We will let you know when the repairman can come out.

CANCELLATION TERMS:  Tenant(s) may, upon providing Broker with written notice by certified mail, cancel this Agreement (“Cancellation”).  If Tenant(s) cancel this Agreement prior to the check-in date, Tenant(s) shall be obligated to pay all rents, fees, and other charges paid, or to become due, pursuant to this agreement (other than the Deposit) as liquidated damages for such Cancellation.  Tenant(s) will be eligible for a refund of rents minus a cancellation fee equal to 15% of the Rent due provided that Broker, using efforts it deems reasonable in its sole discretion, places a replacement tenant for the same rental period at the same rental rate (shorter periods and/or lower rent will result in a pro rata reduction of the refund).  Landlord and Broker shall not be responsible for any costs Tenant(s) may incur for travel or other arrangements in the event of cancellation by Landlord or Tenant(s).  Broker recommends that Tenant(s) obtain travel insurance but makes no representations regarding the scope of coverage under any such insurance policy.
