Move in Checklist

Check out all of the items on this list prior to moving in and notify me if anything needs to be taken care of.  That way the charges will be applied to the previous tenants and not to you.  If any of these items occur after your first day of occupancy then the charges will be billed to you.           

____    Call 740-591-4786 or email brad@bradsellshomes.com with the
            day & time you plan to move in & your new phone #.

____    UTILITIES:  Call all utility companies one week prior to occupancy
            to get the account changed into your name.  If required, arrange to 
            meet serviceman to change over the account.  Time that I have to 
            spend dealing with your utility problems will cost you $20.00 per
            hour.  Any bill that I have to pay will cost you $5 in addition to the
            cost of the bill.  You will be responsible for utility bills even if
            you don’t occupy the unit / the utilities will not be turned off.

The following are to be provided by Tenants:  fans, shower curtains, mops, brooms, cleaning supplies, light bulbs, flashlights, air conditioners, vacuum cleaners.

SUBLEASORS: You are responsible for subleasor damages, utilities, etc.  It is very important to have a subleasor 1) sign an agreement with you, 2) give you a security deposit & 1^st months rent, 3) make sure utilities are put in subleasors' name.  I have a lot of experience with subleasors NOT paying their bills.

INSURANCE:  Landlord is not responsible for stolen or damaged items that belong to tenants.  To insure against a loss the tenants are advised to obtain renters insurance. 

RENT: Name & address for rent checks:      Brad Jageman, 32 W. Stimson Ave., Athens, Ohio 45701
