Start by reading the Tenant Manual and contacting AMI for pre-approval of a possible pet (we will need to reach out to the property owner first). Once the owner has given pre-approval and once you have a specific pet in mind please complete a PetScreener Profile, profiles can be completed at: https://assuredrpm.petscreening.com. Property owners have the option to approve or deny a request to add a pet to the lease agreement. Per the lease agreement visiting pets are never permitted in an AMI managed property.

Occasionally it becomes necessary for one resident to move out while another resident wishes to remain in the rental property. No matter the reason, all residents must fill out and sign a Separation of Co-Residents Agreement. AMI will not partially refund the security deposit; residents must settle any disagreements regarding funds without AMI involvement. A processing fee of $200 must be paid to AMI before the separation process can begin; this fee may increase if the process requires additional paperwork or time in order to fit your particular needs. 

By signing the Separation of Co-Residents Agreement vacating residents agree to be released from the existing lease and agree to give up right, title and interest to the security deposit. Remaining residents agree to be re-qualified and to sign a replacement lease agreement that may include increased rent or increased security deposit. The existing lease remains in full force and effect until a replacement lease agreement has been signed by all parties.

Check the lease agreement to see if you are eligible to give notice. You can give written notice 30 days before the last day of the lease agreement. If you are on month to month tenancy you can give notice 30 days before the end of the month you want to move out. If you move out in the middle of the month, you are responsible for rent to the end of the month. A lease is a binding agreement for a set period and you may still be bound to the lease. Click here to submit a notice to vacate.

Tenants are responsible for the maintenance of the rental home in that you must notify AMI of any damage to the property or of poor performance of any vendor sent to maintain the property.  Please refer to your Tenant Manual for more information.
