It is not required, but it is advised because of the strong rental market right now. This will allow you to put down a security deposit on a property immediately after viewing it, thus preventing someone else from doing so first.

The tenant is required to perform normal general maintenance, this includes replacing light bulbs, furnace filters, smoke and carbon dioxide detector batteries and maintaining a clean property inside and out. Many properties will require the tenant to take care of lawn mowing and snow removal. In the case of properties with sprinkler systems, Henderson will handle charge up and shut down.
As stated in our lease, you must allow Henderson to enter the property when the need arises. This includes our 90-day walk (roughly 90-days after you take residence), once per year when we do our property condition walk (to advise the owner of any needed maintenance), any time maintenance is needed, and prior to moving out when we need to show the apartment to interested tenants.
- All properties require carpet cleaning and lock changes when vacated. Henderson does have a carpet cleaning service that you can use.

- Pet damage
- Required lawncare, if the tenant was responsible and has failed to maintain the lawn.
- You will not be charged for normal wear and tear.
