Life, safety, or major property damage
For active residents: the after-hours emergency contact is available through your AppFolio resident portal. Use that contact first when an emergency occurs — do not wait. After the call, you must still submit a maintenance request through your portal so the issue is documented and dispatched properly.

Move-Out Checklist
What makes a great tenant?
Leasing well is a partnership. Great tenants do more than pay on time — they understand the home is now theirs to care for. Here’s what sets the best residents apart.
Read your lease.
The lease isn’t a formality — it’s the agreement that protects both sides. Knowing what you signed prevents misunderstandings and protects your deposit.
Turn the house into a home.
Treat the property like it’s yours. Take pride in the space. Small care daily means a smooth lease term and a strong recommendation when you’re ready for your next chapter.
Submit maintenance requests immediately.
Catch issues early. A small problem reported now is a small repair. A small problem ignored becomes a large repair — and often a tenant responsibility.
Communicate openly.
If something changes — schedule, finances, family — let us know. We work with residents who keep us informed. Surprises make problems harder to solve.
Respect the home and the neighbors.
Quiet enjoyment is a two-way commitment. The way you treat the property and the community reflects on you and shapes your rental history.
Plan ahead for move-out.
Use the move-out checklist. Schedule cleaning early. Provide proper notice. The residents who plan ahead get their full deposit back.
Texas Residential Lease Agreement
A clear lease is the start of a smooth tenancy. Read it carefully, ask questions before signing, and reference it whenever something comes up. The terms protect everyone — you, the property, and the relationship.
Our team walks every applicant through the lease at signing and stays available throughout your term. The official Texas REALTORS® lease overview to the right gives you the foundation.
“The best resident relationships start with a clear understanding of the lease.”
