| Repairs: |
|
In the interest of keeping
your property in the best
possible condition, it would be
appreciated if you would notify
us promptly of any repairs that
need to be made on your
property. You may either contact
us by telephone to report a
problem or request service via
e-mail. Upon receipt of the
notification of the need for
repairs, we will make
arrangements with you to take
care of any issue as soon as
possible.

| Filter Changes: |
|
Please remember that according to your lease, you are required to change filters in your furnace every thirty days. By changing furnace filters regularly, fewer repairs will be needed on the units, the life of the systems will be extended, and the number of allergens in your home will be reduced.
|
| Interior Maintenance: |
|
CFS endeavors to provide its tenants with properties in excellent condition. While we want you and your family to enjoy the property as if it were your own, we would also like for you to care for the property as if it were your own. With this in mind, please note that upon the termination of your lease, you will be responsible for the cost to repair any damage to the property beyond "normal wear and tear".
|
| Exterior Maintenance: |
In addition to the care that you take to maintain the interior of your home, it is equally important that you maintain the exterior. Please be sure to mow your lawn on a weekly basis and to water during dry periods. Additionally, please keep the flowerbeds free of weeds and prevent the trees in your yard from becoming overgrown. By taking a few extra minutes each week when mowing to trim and weed, your property will remain attractive and you will avoid the costs of landscape work upon the termination of your lease.
In addition to regular mowing and lawn maintenance, tenants are also responsible for the treatment of the lawn. CFS has contracted with a company who provides this service at a substantial discount due to the number of properties that CFS owns and has added your property to the list. Lawn service is performed five times per year at a cost of $30.00 to $45.00 per application depending on size of yard and type of application. Once the service has been completed, you will receive an invoice for the cost of the service.
|
| Rent payments: |
|
Rent for each month is due on the 25th of each preceding month
(according to the lease
agreement). While there is a "grace period" of five days for payment, any payments not received by 5:00pm on the last day of the month will be considered late and your lease account will be subject to at ten percent (10%) late fee
on any outstanding balance. To
avoid any confusion or problems
with the postal service, on the
26th of the month, a CFS
representative will contact any
tenant whose rent has not been
received. Please contact us for our mailing address. Additionally, a $50.00 NSF charge will apply for any check that is returned by the bank. Please note that should a check be returned for insufficient funds and not honored or replaced by another check prior to the expiration of the grace period, both the NSF and Late Charges will apply.
Lawn and Landscape Maintenance:
In addition to the care that you
take to maintain the interior of
your home, it is equally
important that you maintain the
exterior. Please be sure
to mow your lawn on a weekly
basis and to water during dry
periods. Additionally,
please keep the flowerbeds free
of weeds and prevent the trees
in your yard from becoming
overgrown. By taking
a few extra minutes each week
when mowing to trim and weed,
your property will remain
attractive and you will avoid
the costs of landscape work upon
the termination of your lease.
HVAC Spring Maintenance:
Although it may not seem like
it, spring is around the corner
and that means it’s time to have
the annual maintenance performed
on your air conditioner. Per
lease agreements (See Section
5.6) bi-yearly HVAC Maintenance
is required. We ask that
you contact Henry & Sons at
317-849-5089 to set up
scheduled maintenance by the end
of March 2005.
Please note, that you are
responsible for maintaining your
appointment and the incurred
charges of such maintenance done
to your air conditioner. The
charges will be reflected on
your next month’s rent invoice
following the appointment.
Please Mail All Correspondence
and Payments to:
