In the event of an emergency, we reserve the right to enter the home without notice. It is required that we have a working set of keys and/or security codes to gain access to the leased premises.

Tenants must maintain the property in respectable order before a scheduled showing. If they do not comply with maintaining the property in respectable order prior to a showing, a written warning will be sent. A second warning will result in further action to terminate the lease and begin the eviction process.
