Any tenant who holds over the property for any reason will be charged a prorated rent until the keys are turned in, at that moment payment will be expected for the prorated rent amount.
· Peavy Properties will file a dispossessory warrant with the Lowndes County Magistrates Court on the 6th of each month for any tenant will an unpaid balance of rent. The dispossessory warrant and writ of possession will be charged back to your account for a maximum amount of $100.00 per action. As well as a $100.00 administrative fee for collection.
· Rent will not be accepted unless all fees and charges are paid in full each month.
· No check payments can be made for any reason after the 10th of the month. If a tenant has a returned check for any reason after the 2nd check, no checks will be accepted for payments at any time, only money order. There is a returned check fee for $30.00 per check.
