Looking after the home
Lawns & gardens - You will be responsible for taking care of the lawn and landscaping. Please keep the grass in good shape, it needs watering twice weekly. Trim the bushes and landscaping regularly and apply weed and feed at least 2 to 6 times a year.
Pets - Most rental owners understand that families have pets. So, it's company policy to allow pets with a pet fee, which is non refundable and non transferable. Like you, pets need to be approved, we’ll need to see them and keep a photo on file.
Swimming Pools - If the home you lease has a pool, you need to obey strict pool safety rules. No unattended children under the age of 16, no running or horse play and no glasses or china in the pool area, use plastic ware to avoid accidents. No coins in the pool - they rust. No pets in the pool - hairs clog the filters. No diving, most Florida pools are less than 6ft deep. If you have children, please ensure that all doors and windows leading to the pool area remain locked at all times. A second to check could save you a lifetime of agony.
The pool is serviced weekly; to balance the chemicals take care of the controls, equipment, timers and surface brushing as required. If there is a storm after a period of dry weather, dust from the pool screen will end up at the bottom of the pool. Use the pool brush provided to brush any debris towards the main drain. Please keep all pool screen doors closed and don't lean on the fragile screens. Be very careful when cutting grass or plants around the exterior as strimmers will tear the screening.
Pest Control - Your home is expertly treated against pests on a quarterly basis and treated both inside and out. If you are suddenly overrun with ants or roaches they will return and re-treat the property. Operatives will call you to advise when they're coming and you don't need to be home while they spray. Only State approved pesticides, non-toxic to humans and animals are used.
