You will need to submit a written change request to the office, normally by email. The office will contact owner to see if owner approves request. No changes should be made without owner’s approval in writing.

In the event of burglary or fire, if you do not have renter’s insurance you will suffer a catastrophic loss. The owner is not responsible for your personal possessions.

We require a minimum of 60 days notice in writing for any change.
What if my spouse receive orders from the military for a change of duty station?
We are very experienced with working with the military. Generally this type of lease will contain a 30 day military escape clause. This means if you get orders transferring you more than 50 miles from the area, you will be released 30 calendar days after a copy of such orders is received in our office.
