• Tenants are not required to have renters insurance; however, we strongly encouraged all tenants to obtain Renters Insurance to protect their household goods.

• If your lease is about to end, that does not mean you are required to move, or that we anticipate a move-out. Rider Property Management, LLC will contact you approximately 45 days prior to the end of your lease to negotiate a lease renewal or extension. However, if you decide to move-out, you MUST turn in our written “Intent to Vacate” paperwork at least 30 days before the end of your lease. You can call and request this form or find it on your resident center. If you do not hear from someone in our office right away, please follow up with a call to the office to confirm receipt of the notice.
• Please Note: If you are not moving out at the exact end of the month, prorated rent will be due which MUST be paid at the beginning of the month.

More on the upfront costs:

Why do I have to pay?

Usually, a move-in fee is charged to a tenant upon signing their new lease. The fee serves to cover the costs of accommodating and processing new tenants, such as showings, signings, inspections,  and reprogramming security systems. A move-in fee is always non-refundable.

How is this different from a security deposit?

A security deposit is a lump sum paid by a tenant to a landlord at the beginning of their lease period. This deposit is essentially an insurance account that a landlord can draw from to fix any damage caused by the tenant. At the end of the lease period, whatever is left from the deposit must be returned to the tenant. A move-in fee does not get returned to the tenant at the end of the lease, but it is often a much smaller amount than a security deposit.
