DESERT REALTY, Inc.

INFORMATION FOR TENANTS

The following information has been compiled in the hope that most of your questions will be answered.  However, feel free to contact Desert Realty pertaining to the properties listed on this web site or other properties under our management.

Deposit to hold: Desert Realty will take a property "off the market" for ten days.  This requires a completed application and a deposit from you in the form of cash or money order.

Cash: All deposits and the first month's rent must be paid in cash, cashier check or money order.  Thereafter, rent may be paid with a personal check.

Qualifying fee: There is a $40 qualifying fee for each prospective tenant or married couple who is applying to be part of the lease.

Occupancy: Occupancy standard is two people per bedroom plus one person.  Example:  a two bedroom house qualifies for five people.

Landlord: The owner of the property is the landlord.  The rental agreement is between the tenant and the landlord.  Desert Realty is the agent for the owner who has hired Desert Realty to arrange for the leasing of the property, communicating with the tenant, attending to repairs, and carrying out the landlord's wishes and policies regarding the property.

Emergency: The telephone number for Desert Realty is also the number tenants should call in case of an emergency after office hours.  An employee is on call to take what action is necessary to relieve any problem.

Security deposit: The tenant's security deposit, upon move out, is handled in accordance with Nevada's Landlord/Tenant laws.  Desert Realty will complete a written inspection of the property after the tenant has removed his personal property.  The full, portion, or none of the deposit will be returned to the tenant depending upon the condition of the property.  Desert Realty will, within 30 days, send the tenant a written report and a check for any refund due.

Duties owed: Desert Realty, as an agent of the owner, has a fiduciary duty to the owner.  We always represent the landlord and will only accept compensation from him.  We will not act in the capacity of a dual agent.  The tenant is encouraged to obtain his own agent.  However, Desert Realty is committed to treat all parties fairly.
