After Hours Maintenance Fee: $250 This fee will be charged to a resident if an after-hours maintenance call is required for a routine service call. We understand that tenants have careers and can only be home at certain times after work or on the weekends –the same applies to our staff. It is the policy of Orange Realty Group to not perform any work on a property on behalf of the tenant without the tenant being home to allow for access to the home. We feel this will avoid any issues of missing items in the home, or any uneasy feelings of key security. We do not operate like an apartment complex where our maintenance staff will access your home at any time day or night. This fee will be assessed on a case by case basis and does not apply for emergency service calls such as HVAC or water leaks.

Walk-Through Fee: $100/Hour or $150/Hour Weekend Walk-Through This fee is charged on an hourly basis if the tenant requests an in-person walk through either to move into the home, or when moving out of the home. Through normal procedures, an escorted walk through of a property with the tenant and a representative of Orange Realty Group is above and beyond the regular practice of a vacant home walk through. This fee is charged because the resident often still has access to the home via keys, and often has possessions still in the home requiring us to do an additional walk through once the tenant has completely vacated. This offer may be on a case-by-case basis and may be rescinded at anytime.

Utility Crossover Fee: $75 per Utility This fee is charged if the tenant fails to cross over utilities within three days of the lease start.

Orange Realty often maintains acopy of a key in the office lock-box, but that can often only be retrieved during normal business hours. The tenant may call their own locksmith to access the home, but if keys are changed – copies must be provided per the lease agreement.

In conjunction with this fee there may also be a “No-Access or No-Show Fees” if the property wasn’t accessible during the scheduled servicing or emergency visit.

Administration Fee for Cleaning or Repairs: $200 This fee would be charged if Orange Realty Group must make additional arrangements to provide maid service, lawn service, carpet cleaning, or repairs to any damages done to the home that calls for repair because of tenant negligence.

We recommend if there are concerns over the lease signing process that a tenant consult with their attorney prior to signing.

Later Move-In Date Change Fee: $150 This fee is charged to a tenant if a move in date needs to be modified for a later move in. If the terms to the later move in are acceptable to the owner, a later move in can be arranged. This would incur a fee because of the lease agreement having to be modified, and utilities needing to be kept on the property longer. A later move in will be addressed on a case by case basis.

Early/Rush Move-In Change Fee: $150 This fee is charged if a resident requests an earlier move in date than what the original lease was written and signed for. To make this change requires additional paperwork and coordination.

Lease Processing Fee for Lease Modification: $150 This fee is charged if a tenant wants an administrative action taken that will cause their lease agreement to be modified. If a tenant wants to remove an occupant from a lease agreement, add and occupant to a lease agreement, add a pet to a lease agreement or anything that will cause the lease to be modified, a one-time processing fee of $150 will be charged to the tenant ledger.

Roommate Change Out Fee: $150 This fee is charged if an approved tenant is leaving the lease agreement, and another approved tenant is remaining behind in the home. There is a charge for this to modify the lease agreement, and have the proper forms signed. An example would be in a non-married couple decides to rent a home in both of their names and then one wants off the lease and out of the property. To modify the lease, and to cover the administrative time involved – a fee will be charged.

Rush Application Fee: $200 This fee is charged if tenant wants to rush the application to be processed within 24 hours of submission, and if Orange Realty Group agrees to accommodate this request if possible.

An example where this would apply is if we were provided the wrong forwarding address and the check is lost in the mail. We must stop payment on that check, and then re-issue another check. We are charged by our bank for any stop payment on a check and that cost would be passed along to the outgoing tenant.

Misc. Tenant Reimbursement: TBD This charge will be applied to any owner paid reimbursements owed by the tenant. This includes, but not limit to, early move-out/lease termination charges. (i.e tenant procurement, agent referral, etc.)

All other standard lease charges/reimbursements listed on this form(if applicable) will be applied as well. (Including but not limited to: Resident Benefit Package, Monthly Pet Admin Charge, Annual Pet Inspection, Utility/Pool Reimbursements, etc.)

Lease Renewal Fee (Inspection may be required): $195 Tenants with leases coming up for renewal will be required to pay this fee for administrative costs pertaining to the approval, completion, and signing of said renewal. This fee is applied to the tenant’s ledger automatically when renewal is sent out. PLEASE NOTE: This fee amount is only applicable for lease renewals accepted and returned WITHIN the last 30 days of the last month of the existing contract.
