2009-2010 Lease Addenda:
-
Lease Commitment Form
- In order to secure an apartment, a payment of one month of rent is required from each Tenant. All apartments are rented on a first-come, first-served basis. When a group is ready to secure an apartment, they may submit a signed Lease Commitment Form with their payment as a formal commitment to the apartment until the actual lease signing takes place. Lease signings are done by appointment, and each appointment takes approximately one hour and requires the entire group to be present. This Lease Commitment is helpful because it often takes a few days to coordinate a time for the entire group and the leasing agent to complete the full lease together. All payments are non-refundable, and the full lease must be signed within one week of receipt of the Lease Commitment Form and Payment A.
Flat Rate Damage Charges
- A Damage Deposit of $500 is due from each Tenant with Payment B, as outlined in the Sample Lease. Damages to the Apartment beyond normal wear and tear are charged according to this list. Tenants are expected to leave their apartments in a clean and undamaged condition upon their departure.
Furniture List
- All Ithaca Renting Company apartments are fully furnished, and an itemized list of items is included with each lease. Any changes to furniture must be requested and approved in writing at the Rental Office in advance of the lease start or within 24 hours of key pick up. Appliances may not be removed. If any furniture is removed from the unit, it will not be returned during the lease.
Group Lease Room & Rent Assignments
- For Group Apartments (2 or more bedrooms), each member of the group is required to choose his or her individual bedroom and determine any proration of rent at the lease signing. All rooms have individual locks, and Ithaca Renting Company will bill each Tenant for his or her specifically prorated quarterly rent amount. If Tenants choose not to prorate the rent amounts, then each Tenant is automatically billed equally.
Lease Agreement Guarantee
- The Lease Agreement Guarantee form must be completed by each Tenant's parent or legal guardian. This form is mailed directly to each parent or legal guardian by the Rental Office. A completed Lease Agreement Guarantee is required for all graduate and undergraduate student Tenants, regardless of age or other status. Ithaca Renting does not require or perform other reference or credit checks. Each student Tenant must fulfill this lease obligation. There are no exceptions.
NYSEG Electric Service Request Form
- In order to facilitate Electricity Service in each apartment, Ithaca Renting will submit a completed New York State Electric and Gas (NYSEG) Service Request Form to the utility provider on behalf of the Tenant. Once the service is set up, Tenants may manage their accounts online, including bill payments. Tenants are required to keep the electricity service turned on for the entire term of the Lease. Power may not be shut off during Winter or Summer Breaks.
Resident Information Form
- All Ithaca Renting Company Tenants are required to fill out this form with current and permanent address information, parent and emergency contact information, and a short marketing section.
- Your $500 Damage Deposit will be held in an Escrow Account at M&T Bank, a local bank. In order to deposit your Damage Deposit payment, the bank requires a completed W-9 Form (for Tenants with a permanent home address in the U.S.) or W-8BEN Form (for non-U.S. residents, or Tenants with an international permanent home address). This form does require the Tenant's Social Security Number. For non-U.S. residents: Please inform the Rental Office if you were not issued a Social Security Number.
Sublet Consent Request Form
- Tenants are permitted to sublet their apartments at any time during the Lease, pending agreement by all other named Tenants on the Lease and approval from the Rental Office. Page 1 is required for Office approval. Page 2 outlines specific contract details for the Tenant and Subtenant. Subletting is always done at the Tenant's own risk. Subletting does not relieve the Tenant of any Lease obligations.
- Most properties have access to IRIS (Ithaca Renting Internet Service). This high-speed Internet service contract requires subscribers to follow specific End-User regulations, including but not limited to the following: no illegal activity, no server hosting, requiring virus protection, and securing the access point of any wireless equipment. IRIS is available for Tenants at Collegetown Center, Collegetown Plaza, Collegetown Court, Aces Apartments (wireless only), 705 East Buffalo Street (wireless only), Johnny's Apartments, and 210 Dryden Road.
Balcony/ Porch/ Fire Escape Rules
- This addendum outlines some addional basic rules for properties that have a balcony, porch, or fire escape. This addendum is required for the following properties: Collegetown Plaza Apartments 3F, 3G, 4F, 5F, 6F, 7F, 8F, 9F, 214 Dryden Road, 105 Dryden Court, 210 Dryden Road, 705 East Buffalo Street, and Aces Apartments 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.
Lead Based Paint Addendum
- As required by federal regulations, all properties built before 1978 will have a Lead-Based Paint Addendum. Collegetown Center, Collegetown Plaza, and Collegetown Court were all built after 1978 and do not require this form.
