OUR APARTMENT RULES

Apartment Rules and Regulations For Fitch Manor, Spring St, and Appleton St Apartments 2016

Please read these Apartment Rules and Regulations carefully! I don’t want any surprises if you get an eviction from us for not following these rules.

General:

This agreement is an addendum and/or part of the rental agreement between our apartments and you, the Tenant. If you have a lease, this is an addendum to that lease. If you are month to month, these are the rules you need to follow.

New Rules and Regulations, or amendments to these rules may be adopted by Landlord/Manger upon posting to www.svend.com/fitch/.  These rules and any changes, or amendments have a legitimate purpose and are not intended to be arbitrary, or work as a substantial modification of Tenant rights.  They will not be unequally enforced.  Tenant is responsible for the conduct of guests and the adherence to these rules and regulations at all time.

PAYMENT OF RENT:

Obviously, payment of rent on time is critical. If rent is not paid, a demand for rent and an eviction notice will be given to you. This starts the clock ticking and you must respond and get current asap, or eviction will follow.

If you are given the privilege of having a dog, here are a few things that are essential:

1) Dog CANNOT ever be tied up to the outside of your unit.
2) Dog waste must be immediately picked up.
3) Any aggressive action toward any person on the property will mean immediate loss of privilege to have a dog, and it must be removed from property.
4) You can not get a dog without prior approval from us

If these dog rules are not followed, you will lose the right to have a dog at our apartments.

Contact Info: When the Tenant has a new phone number, or E-Mail address, they must communicate this information to the Landlord/Manage immediately.

No one is allowed to move in with you or stay with you for more than 5 days without PRIOR Landlord approval. If you want a new room mate, an application must be filled out and approved first!

Move ins: Please call EVERSOURCE to set up your electrical account for the day you get the key.
