Renter Information
Who signs the rental/lease agreement?
All adults must sign the rental/lease agreement prior to receiving the keys. This includes all persons intending to reside at the property that are eighteen years or older no matter what relationships are involved.
What do I need to bring to the signing?
When you just pay the security deposit to hold the property we require one adult of those moving in, a photo identification for that person, and a cashiers check or money order in the amount of the security deposit. When signing the rental agreement in order to get the keys all adults must have a photo identification and a cashiers check or money order for a full months rent.
When do I receive the keys?
Keys will be issued as soon as the rental agreement is signed by all adults and all funds are paid including the entire security deposit and a full months rent.
What are the important parts of the rental/lease agreement?
All adult residents should read the entire rental/lease agreement before taking possession. A copy of the agreement I use is on the website under rental / lease agreement. Pay close attention to the start date, rent rate, prorated rent (the amount due your second month), and end date. Keep in mind that you cannot sublease the property, only those listed on the agreement may live at the property. Also take note if the appliances listed are correct and that who is responsible for lawn care is correct. The written agreement is the only agreement I have with you, no verbal agreements are allowed.
Once I move in when are my rental payments due and how do I pay the rent each month?
Your rent is due on the first of each month and is considered late if the rent is paid after the 3rd of the month. If the 3rd falls on a weekend or holiday your rent will be considered late if your rent is paid after the next business day. For example, if the 3rd falls on a Saturday, your rent will be late if not received before Tuesday, the 6th. However, if the 3rd falls on a Friday, your rent would be late if the rent is not received by 11:59 PM on Friday.
You can pay your rent by sending your check, cashiers check, or money order to RY Rentals and Property Management - 4856 Horned Lark Drive - Klamath Falls, OR 97601 or stopping by my location. Be sure the address of the property you are renting appears on your check.
How do I get maintenance taken care of?
I suggest you email your service request at RYRentalsAndPropMgmt@gmail.com or call me direct at 541-880-8670. For nights and weekend emergency's you can also call 541-880-8670. In a fire or flood emergency please call 911 first.
Can I make repairs and deduct the cost from my rent?
I do not allow residents to perform repairs at the property they rent. You must contact me to request repairs and I will respond as quickly as possible.
Removing or tampering of smoke detector or carbon monoxide detector
It is a violation of law to remove or tamper with a properly functioning smoke detector, carbon monoxide dectors or alarm, including removing working batteries or non-payment of electrical service which renders the device inoperative. Should the tenant or someone under their control cause the smoke detector or carbon monoxide detector to be inoperative the landlord may assess a penalty of $250.00 and/or terminate the rental agreement.
Keys and garage door openers
If all keys and garage door openers initially given to tenant(s) are not returned upon move out, $15 per key, $75 per garage door opener will be withheld from the security deposit. Typically RYRPM does not have copies of mail keys for security urposes, if a tenant loses a mail key the post office will replace it, the post office will charge a fee of approx. $25 - $50.
