Subletting and Lease Break Policy

Requirements when looking to break your lease:

1. You are required to pay a $250 re-rental fee to cover additional paperworkby this office IF a new lease is signed.

2. You are required to reimburse Heath Properties for Real Estate Broker Fees (if any) to re-rent your unit. Typically this fee is equal to one month's rent.

3. You are required to pay monthly rental payments on time (whether the unit is occupied by you or not) through the term of your lease and any extensions thereof.

4. If the unit rents for less than your current monthly rent, then you are responsible for the difference through the term of your lease and any extensions thereof.

5. You are required to keep current on all utility expenses (whether the unit is occupied by you or not) through the term of your lease. This is especially important during winter months. If pipes freeze as a result of your negligence you are responsible for all costs associated with repairing damages and replacing those items that cannot be repaired.

6. You are required to reimburse the Landlord or its agents for all advertising costs to re-rent the unit.

7. If you vacate the unit, you are responsible for reimbursing the landlord for any and all costs needed to restore the unit to a "clean and habitable condition with no defects" to market the same to new clients.

If you find someone to sublet your unit:

1. Your sublet must provide us with completed rental applications and a check for $25.00.

2. Your name(s) remain on the lease. You and your guarantors are responsible if your sublet does not pay rent. You are also responsible for any and all damages caused by your sublet and their guests.

Please call the office if you have any further questions. Lease breaks and sublets are not recommended. Heath Properties may assist in re-renting the apartment with the understanding there will most likely be costs associated. We strongly recommend you place your own advertisements in the paper and on the internet as well as post flyers to assist in securing a new tenant.
