Does anybody add their own additional terms to the standard lease document? Below is what I had in mind so far. Also, do you think it is worthwhile handing this out with the application so the applicant knows what is expected of them before they apply?
The property is to be left clean and as per the property condition report, including but not limited to, tiled floors mopped, dishwasher wiped clean inside and out, oven cleaned, all weeds removed from garden beds, paving and garage swept.
The tenant will be supplied with two remote keyfobs to operate the garage door. Remotes must be returned at the end of the lease in good working order. Remotes not returned or returned in poor condition or broken will incur a $50 (fifty dollar) fee per remote to be deducted from bond money.
The tenant will be supplied with two keys for the door locks, two keys for the screen door locks and two keys for the window locks. Keys not returned will incur a $10 (ten dollar) fee per key to be deducted from bond money.
The tenant must have the carpets steam cleaned by a reputable carpet cleaning business, at the end of the lease, no later than three business days after vacating the property. A receipt must be presented as proof of services rendered. Alternatively, the tenant can elect to have $150 (one hundred and fifty dollars) deducted from the bond monies to cover the cost of the property manager having the carpets professionally cleaned.
As this property has not previously had a telephone service connected, all connection fees will be the sole responsibility of the tenants.
