homes are currently available for rent?
For a complete list of all Total Management properties which are
currently available, click on Current Rentals.
Total Management does not own the homes you are renting. We are
the agents of the owner and have been hired to be the landlord.
If you have an problem, you will always contact us, never the
owner. We will take care of all issues from the time you take a
look at a property up to the time you move out of one of our
properties. Please contact us if
you need help with anything.
Once you have found a property that you are interested in
leasing, you can contact a Total Management representative in
order to complete an application. For some properties, there
might be open houses that you can attend in which you can fill
out an application at that time. There is usually an application
fee, which is used to obtain your credit report as well as any
other background checks necessary or as requested by the owner.
Application fees must be paid in cash, money order or certified
check. NO PERSONAL CHECKS will be accepted. All application fees
must be submitted with the completed application. No
applications will be accepted without the application fee. In
addition, EVERY adult on the lease and EVERY adult over the age
of 18 will be requested to fill out an application. Any refusal
of such or any refusal of information on the application can
cause your application to be denied.
Naturally it will be necessary that you can show a steady
monthly positive cash flow from employment income, investments,
etc. If you are in any of the housing voucher programs, your
status will be assessed according to how much of the rent you
are responsible to pay by your program.
At the time of the rental application a consumer credit report
will be obtained for all adult persons who will be occupying the
property. Poor credit history can be a reason to deny a rental
application but oftentimes if you can satisfactorily explain
your situation, we not discriminate solely on that.
All Total Management leases will require a security deposit from
the tenant. This security deposit will be collected from the
tenant at the time the lease is signed. Security deposits are
usually an amount equal to one month's rent. In some cases, they
can be negotiated. For those properties in which pets are
allowed, an additional pet deposit of $75.00 to $500.00 may be
required.
At the end of the lease the security deposit will be returned to
the tenants less any deductions for outstanding fees owed for
rent or repairs, lease violations or damage to the property.
Whether you sign a lease or a rental agreement will depend upon
the property. A rental agreement is simply a month-to-month
agreement. Most Total Management leases are for one year or
more. At the end of the initial lease term, the lease will
usually continue on a "month to month" basis. Should the tenant
wish to continue the lease for an additional year or more,
he/she will be contacted before the end of the initial lease
term for lease negotiations.
Every property owner seems to have different thoughts concerning
pets. It is a part of Total Management's duties to see that the
owner's instructions are carried out in this area. For those
properties which do allow for the keeping of pets, there will
usually be some restrictions as to the number, size and type of
pets which will be allowed. An additional pet deposit of $75.00
to $500.00 will usually be required.
There is a $35.00 charge for each check returned by the bank for
nonpayment. Please be aware that a poor rental payment history
may affect your credit rating.
Rents can be mailed to Total Management, hand delivered to a
Total Management representative, or paid by electronic checking.
If rent is mailed, adequate postal delivery time must be
accounted for. Rent will be considered received on the date the
check is received, NOT by the postmark date, or date on the
check.
All utilities at Total Management-managed properties will be
paid for by the tenant, except in some cases for water. All
arrangements for electric & gas, telephone, cable, etc. will be
made directly between the tenant and the service provider. Total
Management will assist you with all of these arrangements at the
time of your lease application.
Inside the property, it is the tenant's responsibility to keep
things reasonably clean, so as not to cause damage to items such
as carpeting and other flooring. Smoke detectors should be
tested on a routine basis. Furnace filters are to be changed at
a minimum of every 60 days. Care should be taken so that tubs,
sinks and commodes do not overflow, as this can cause
considerable damage to the property. All appliances should be
used within their reasonable operating limits and never
overloaded.
Outside the home, the tenant will need to keep lawn areas cut,
weeds removed, shrubs trimmed, gutters clean of leaves. Snow
removal from driveways and walks is also a responsibility of the
tenant. In general, it is expected that the tenant maintain the
property on a par with neighboring homes. Total Management will
arrange for any exterior maintenance such as painting, roofing
and siding repair, deck staining, driveway capping, removal of
dead trees, etc. These are items which should be pointed out to
Total Management's attention during routine property
inspections.
There are several urgency levels concerning the time frame for
repairs. Items which need attention, but are not a cause for any
danger or major inconvenience to the tenant and will not cause
any further damage to the property should be called into Total
Management or emailed to us. In addition, you can fill out the
non-emergency maintenance request form on this page. Our
maintenance team will contact you to set up an appointment
within 48 hours of your call.
Items which could become a danger or major inconvenience to the
tenant or further damage the property should be pointed out to
Total Management representatives by telephone during normal
business hours. Additionally, this information can be left on
Total Management's office voice mail system when calling outside
of normal business hours. Our maintenance team will contact you
to set up an appointment within 24 hours of your call.
Note: When you agree to a date and time to meet
our maintenance team, and no one is at the property when
maintenance arrives, you will be charged $35.00
for a service call.
Emergency situations include gas leaks, break-ins, no heat, no
hot water, or busted water lines. In case of an emergency,
please take the following appropriate actions first:
Please exercise care and good common sense in the use and
occupancy of your home. Take care to keep it clean, neat, and
orderly. Guard against abusing property, fixtures, and
equipment. Please refer to your lease for the list of repairs
and maintenance that are the tenant's responsibility. If you
have any questions about operating any appliance, plumbing or
heating system, please do not hesitate to give us a call. We
will be happy to assist you.
If you have a constant drip or constant water running (for
example, a toilet running), please call us please call us or
email us. Even the most minor drips can run your water bills up!
Keep back yard areas clean! Keeps unwanted "pets and pests"
away!
Safety and Liability:
Please keep all doors and windows locked when you are not at
home. As the tenant, you are responsible for insuring your
personal belongings and contents against fire, theft, water
damage, and other casualties. Total Management and the property
owner assume no liability or obligation for tenants' personal
belongings and contents. Renter's insurance is available through
most insurance agencies.
