for a term in excess of twelve (12) months without securing the prior written
consent of Owner.
b. Agent will advertise the availability of Rental Units for lease by the full use of
appropriate communications media such as internet, website and/or newspaper
advertisements, display signs posted on the Property or in available Rental Units,
the use of floor plans, solicitation aids, and/or economic surveys as may be
appropriate to market available rental space.
All reasonable expenses of
advertising will be charged to Owner’s account as an operating expense.
c. Agent will conduct, on all non-student applicants, a reasonable investigation of
the references of prospective tenants, including credit checks where allowed and
appropriate, before entering into leases on behalf of Owner with such persons.
Agent will attempt to obtain parental guarantees on student applicants but shall
not be held liable to Owner for the failure to do so.
d. Agent will collect, deposit, and disperse, in accordance with the terms of each
lease, funds collected as security deposits (not to include non-refundable pet
deposits) from tenants. Agent has established an escrow account for this purpose.
Owner is not entitled to any interest which may accrue to said escrow account. If
at any time the escrow account of Owner is insufficient to pay dispersements due
and payable, Owner shall, not later than ten (10) days after notice, remit to Agent
sufficient funds to cover the deficiency and replenish a reasonable contingency
reserve. In no event shall Agent be required to use its own funds to pay such
disbursements, nor shall Agent be required to advance monies to Owner.
e. Agent will collect, when due, all rents, charges and other accounts receivable
payable in connection with the management and operation of the Property.
f. Agent is not responsible for maintenance and repairs to Property.
Should
maintenance and/or repairs be necessary, other than maintenance and/or repairs
for which Tenant is responsible, and Agent is informed of said necessary
maintenance and/or repairs, Agent may hire persons or entities to conduct said
repairs and/or maintenance at the cost and expense of Owner. Agent may use its
own staff or affiliated companies to perform maintenance functions at the
Property. Owner hereby authorizes Agent to deduct the cost for said maintenance
and/or repairs from Owner’s account.
g. Agent may supervise the making of all repairs or minor alterations to the
Property, either using its own forces or employing independent contractors and
charging the cost thereof to Owner’s account. Agent may make extraordinary
repairs or major alterations to the Property only with the prior permission of
Owner, which permission need not be in writing. In the event of an emergency
situation, when in the opinion of Agent repairs are necessary to protect the
Property from further damage or necessary to maintain services to the lessees as
provided in their lease agreements(s), Agent may proceed to undertake said
