For licensed tenants, monthly rental fees will be withheld from payroll checks. For classified tenants, monthly rental fees will be withheld from payroll checks when possible; however, during non-school months, tenants will be responsible for paying rent to the district office prior to the 5th of each month.
A security deposit of $300.00 will be required from each tenant prior to moving into a housing unit or moving to another unit. Of this deposit, $150 will be a non-refundable cleaning deposit and the remainder will be refunded upon departure barring damages which are deemed to be beyond normal wear and tear. For new staff members, the deposit may be collected through monthly payroll deductions for up to 10 months upon approval of the principal and business manager.
A $75.00 key deposit will be collected by the Business Department. This deposit will be returned when the occupant moves out and turns in their keys to the district office.
Tenants are responsible for heating, electrical and sewage charges.
