EXTRAORDINARY TENANT CHARGES (Click to View)
The charges listed below are incurred by the tenant for services above the normal lease agreement, beyond the normal activities for a tenant, or for actions outside of ORG routine operations.

1. Risk Mitigation Fee: (Credit Score Based) $250 to $1250
Orange Realty Group can offer applicants with lower than 620 credit scores and opportunity to rent from us by offsetting the monetary risk for the owner, and the management company. Combined Credit scores of 620 or higher are usually approved with normal rents, as advertised admin fees, and a security deposit equal to one month’s rent. Applications may still be approved with less than a combined 620 FICO score with an additional risk mitigation fee outlined here:
- Combined Credit score of 620 to 600 will require an additional risk mitigation fee of $250.00.
- Combined Credit score of 599 to 550 will require an additional risk mitigation fee of $750.00.
- Combined Credit score of 549 and below will require an additional risk mitigation fee equal to $1,250.00 – AND are subject to review and
approval by upper management - Any credit score under 500, (330-499) are declined due to bad credit.
2. Walk Through Fee: $75 / Hour or $150 / Hour Weekend Walk Through
This fee is charged on an hourly basis if the tenant requests an in-person walk thru either to move into the home, or when moving out of the home. Through normal procedures, an escorted walk thru 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 thru. This fee is charged because the tenant often still has access to the home via keys, and often has possessions still in the home requiring us to do an additional walk thru once the tenant has completely vacated.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Early Move-In Fee: $75
This fee is charged if a tenant 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.
6. 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.
7. Rush Move-In Fee: $200
This fee would be charged to a tenant if the tenant is in a severe rush to move into a home. Example: The tenant applies on a Thursday afternoon, and wants to move in on Friday. If the tenant receives an application approval, to facilitate such a quick move in – we have to drop everything to accommodate for such a quick turnaround. In this case, the tenant will be
charged an extra $200 to facilitate this action.
8. Later Move-In Date Change Fee: $75
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.
9. Stop Payment & Re-Issue Check Fee: $75
This fee is charged if a tenant does not receive a check from Orange Realty for any reason that is the fault of the tenant. 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.
10. 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. Not only would the tenant be responsible for utilities from the day the lease started, but they would also be charged this fee if additional efforts must be made to ensure they properly turned over utilities.
11. Utilities Set-Up Fee: $75
This fee is charged if Orange Realty is asked to set up any utilities on behalf of the tenant. We are happy to assist with arranging for utilities, but we charge for the effort as often times as we would have to send someone to the property to ensure the water was turned on correctly, which may also incur additional charges along with the effort to establish utilities for the tenant.
12. Smoke Detector Batteries: $15/ Each
Charge to tenant if battery is dead upon move-out
13. Re-key Lockout Fee: $150
This fee is charged if the tenant locks themselves out of the home and has requested assistance from Orange Realty
Group. Additional charges may be incurred depending on if the doors have to be drilled into, or they can be merely picked.
A re-key charge may also be assessed if the keys were lost. Orange Realty often maintains a copy 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.
14. Re-keyed without Permission, Re-keying Fee: $150
If a tenant re-keys the property without permission, there will be a fee for the locks to be re-keyed due to the unauthorized
changing. 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.
15. 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. Receipts are kept for costs involved, and can be provided to tenant. This fee is meant to cover the administrative cost in organizing this work on the tenant’s behalf.
All Fees described above are subject to changing at any time by Orange Realty Group LLC management. Please contact your property manager for any changes. Any exceptions to Fee charges will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
