RENTAL GUIDE:

Standard Information Applying to All Properties

Tenants pay for all utilities.

Water, sewer and trash are billed monthly by the City of Iowa City, and depend solely on actual usage by occupants of the property.

Heavy cleaning may be necessary when tenants move in at the start of the lease, due to prior tenants not doing a good job of cleaning up. In the event this situation arises, new tenants agree to do this cleaning and will be paid for their time by Landlords by using prior tenants' security deposits.

No candle burning, no tobacco smoking, no kegs of beer or large parties, and no pets are allowed on premises.

Tenants need to follow rules regarding normal upkeep of property, neighborhood conduct rules, and compliance with City of Iowa City housing code ordinances as detailed in the lease. Failure to do so will result in violation charges to security deposit. Tenants will be required to sign City of Iowa City’s “Information Disclosure and Acknowledgment Form” regarding maximum occupancy of the property, among other items.

Prospective tenants interested in leasing this property will need to submit reference information sheets to Landlords.
