Rent is always due on the first day of the month and is late at any time after midnight on the sixth day of the month. We generally file evictions on the 11th day of each month.
We always require a MINIMUM OF ONE MONTH’S RENT to move into a home. Therefore, your SECOND MONTH will be prorated. The amounts due and the dates due are shown at the top of the first page of our lease. Additionally, we must always have
the full security deposit and pet fees prior to move in.
If you move into your home during the last ten days of a month, you will be required to pay the ten days of prorated rent PLUS the entire next month of rent in order to move in.
The following examples apply to a rent of $1,200 per month.
Your lease starts on the first of the month. This one’s easy! You will get the keys when you pay $1,200 of rent on the first. Next month’s rent of $1,200 will be due on the first day of next month.
Your lease starts on the 15th. You will get the keys when you pay $1,200 of rent. Next month’s rent will only be $600, but it will be due on the 1st day of the month. Your third month’s rent will be $1,200 and will be due on the
first day of the third month.
Your lease starts on the 21st of a 30 day month. You will get the keys when you pay $1,600 of rent and you won’t owe rent until the first day of the month AFTER next month (or about 40 days after you move in).
Again, the first page of your lease will clearly show how much rent is due when.
