Lease Highlights

Our property management team is always available to answer any questions about your lease terms. The full lease document is always available anytime through your online tenant portal. In an effort to provide as much information as possible, here are common questions and answers.

Lease Highlights
Paying Rent

Paying Rent

  • Rent is due on the 1st of each month, and no later than the 3rd of each month.
  • Our preferred method of payment is by logging into your tenant portal and submitting a payment online.
  • We allow for a three-day grace period in receiving rent. A late fee is charged on the 4th day of the month if rent is not received by end of day on the 3rd of each month.  The late fee is standardized for all properties and is a flat $100 rate added to the ledger.
  • If rent is not received by the end of the 4th day of the month, our property management team must post a three-day notice to pay rent or quit. The cost to deliver such notice is $35 per occurrence. This amount represents a reasonable estimate of the cost required by our team to deliver such notice because of the failure to pay rent on time.

Early Termination

  • If a resident wishes to terminate their lease agreement prior to the expiration date, please contact our property management team as soon as possible so that we can assist. In general, there are two options once a resident decides to terminate early:
    1. Resident may pay the remainder of the lease term up front and vacate the premises. In this scenario, there is no rent credit due back to the resident, but there are also no charges or fees assessed to the resident.
    2. Resident may request that McLean Company begin finding a new tenant to occupy the property. In this option, please keep in mind the following:
      • You must contact our office and request that a new lessee is found in your place.
      • You must pay an upfront early termination fee equal to one month’s rent.
      • You are still responsible for all rent and utilities until the date a new lessee is found.
      • Your security deposit cannot be used to cover the early termination fee or any rent due until a new lessee is found.
Early Termination

General Responsibilities of Residents:

Are utilities included in my rent? Am I responsible for turning on utilities?

We provide information about utilities on a per property basis. Because every property is slightly different, there is no one common answer. However, we provide information about the utilities in the property information page upon a vacancy, and it is also outlined in your lease agreement what utilities the resident will be responsible for upon move-in. 

Any utilities that are resident responsibility will be required to have transferred and setup to begin on your move-in date. The utilities will not be activated unless the resident sets them up in advance.
