Common use of Leasing Agent Clause in Contracts

Leasing Agent. You will note that there is a statement that we do not act in the capacity of a “property manager”. We are a leasing agent that acts as a conduit to you, the landlord, when problems arise. Cleaning. Most of the Tenants have had a long, slow, tiring trip to the shore. Most are on edge and even the smallest of problems seem to escalate into major ones. A house that has been cleaned properly, fully ready for occupancy, with a pleasing presentation is the best solution. We suggest that you engage a reputable cleaning service to properly clean between changeovers. This service can also inspect the house for any damage that may have occurred during the previous tenants stay. Instruct them to immediately notify us of any problems before they start to clean so that we may add back up, on site observations of your claim. We must have the name and telephone number of this person or company. PROPER CLEANING OF PROPERTIES HAS BECOME A HUGE PROBLEM. SOME CLEANING SERVICES ARE NOT DOING THE JOB PROPERLY. Please instruct your cleaning service on what you expect from them. Many tenants leave the properties in excellent condition. When a cleaning crew may have to empty the refrigerator or take some garbage to the street, clean some sand out of the tub etc. they look for extra compensation. We strongly suggest that you monitor your cleaning crews closely for the amount of time they spend on each change over cleaning. A quick walk thru by a cleaning service does not warrant the compensation that you are giving them. Ask your service how many man hours they allot to your property for a change over cleaning. As each change over occurs and a proper changeover cleaning is not performed the property condition deteriorates. We strongly suggest that a mid summer substantial cleaning be done. Please provide your cleaning service with a key. They spend valuable time picking up keys on change over days. We also recommend that you personally or perhaps a friend or neighbor spot check your cleaning services. Please do not demand a cleaning deposit or other fees. It causes unnecessary problems. Speak with your representative. This past summer some of the cleaning crews were arriving much too early to clean. The tenant has a lease stating the check out time. Cleaning services do not have the right to enter the property until after check out time.
