Q. Should I do a lease or month to month?
A. With a one year lease, you get a security of knowing that you rent cannot rise during the term of the lease, but you are locked into a contract for one year. If you need to break the lease, significant penalties apply.
With a month to month rental agreement, you are free to leave on a 30 days notice, but landlord can raise your rent or change other rental terms on a 30 days notice as well.
Q. What is your pet policy?
A. Depends on the property, but most of our properties welcome a limited number of well behaved pets.
