Rental Policies
Key policies governing your tenancy in a PME-managed property. Your lease agreement remains the authoritative document — these summaries are provided for reference.
The policies below are general summaries applicable to most PME-managed properties. Your specific lease agreement and any addendums govern your tenancy. If any discrepancy exists between these summaries and your lease, your lease controls. Access your lease in the tenant portal or contact us with questions.
Everything You Need In One Place
🐾
Pet Policy
PME properties may or may not allow pets, depending on the specific property and owner preferences. Pet permission, permitted breeds/sizes, and any associated pet deposits or monthly pet rent are specified in your lease agreement and/or pet addendum. Do not bring pets to a property without prior written approval from PME. Unauthorized pets may result in lease violations and associated fees.
🚬
Smoking & Vaping Policy
All PME-managed properties are non-smoking. Smoking, vaping, or use of any tobacco, cannabis, or electronic smoking products is prohibited inside the unit, in common areas, and within a reasonable distance of shared building entrances. Violations may result in lease enforcement action and tenant liability for remediation costs.
🚗
Parking Policy
Parking rules vary by property. Your lease specifies permitted parking spaces and any restrictions on additional vehicles, RVs, boats, or inoperable vehicles. Do not park in spaces assigned to other tenants or in fire lanes. Violations may result in towing at the vehicle owner’s expense. Contact us if you need to discuss parking accommodation.
👥
Guest Policy
Guests are welcome for short visits. Extended stays by the same guest beyond 14 consecutive days or 30 cumulative days per year may constitute unauthorized occupancy and require written approval from PME. Unauthorized occupants violate your lease and may affect your security deposit and tenancy status.
🔑
Keys & Locks
Do not duplicate keys or change locks without written permission from PME. Any authorized lock changes must be performed by an approved locksmith and copies of all new keys provided to PME within 24 hours. Lost keys may result in a re-keying fee charged to the tenant.
📦
Storage & Common Areas
Keep all personal belongings inside your unit. Do not store items in hallways, stairwells, or other common areas — this creates fire hazards and violates building codes. Items left in common areas may be removed without notice. Garages and storage units, where applicable, must be kept clear of hazards.
🔊
Noise & Neighbor Policies
Tenants are responsible for ensuring that their household — including guests — does not create unreasonable noise that disturbs neighbors. Quiet hours are typically 10:00 PM to 8:00 AM, though your specific lease or HOA rules may specify different hours. Repeated noise complaints may result in lease enforcement action.
🏠
Property Care & Maintenance
Tenants are expected to maintain the property in clean, sanitary condition and to promptly report maintenance issues before they escalate. Tenants are responsible for damage caused by negligence, misuse, or failure to report known issues. Report all maintenance needs through the tenant portal.
Policy details vary by property. For specific questions about what’s permitted at your property, review your lease agreement in the tenant portal or contact us directly at (209) 465-5000 or send us a message.
