If you have received an HOA violation letter, it is important that you address and correct the violation immediately in order to avoid a monetary fine from the Home Owners Association.

A: All tenants must provide our office with a written Notice to Vacate, we will not accept a verbal 30 day notice. Your notice can be sent to us via email, fax or USPS. We can only accept Notice to Vacates on the 1st of a month which means that the tenant will be released from the lease on the last day of that month.
Q: I need to break my lease, what do I do?
A: Each tenant is obligated to fulfill their lease term as it is written in their executed Lease Agreement however, we understand that sometimes situations pop up and a tenant has to move out early. If a tenant needs to break their lease, the tenant is still required to give us a written Notice to Vacate on the 1st of any month (as stated above in previous paragraph). Tenant needs to submit this Notice to Vacate to our office 30 days in advance. The break lease fee is equal to two months rent or twice the actual damages sustained by the home owner. The break lease fee must be paid in certified funds and be delivered to our office along with your written Notice to Vacate.

Are Pets Allowed?
There are some private home owners that have preferences on allowing pets. Each property is different and we ask that you speak to your Real Estate Agent or a Whitmore Team staff member to verify if pets will be allowed in your rental home and the deposit required.
