FULL TRANSCRIPT
Speaker 1 0:00
Back. No worries. How's your move in process been going
Unknown Speaker 0:08
slow and steady? Yeah, basically,
Unknown Speaker 0:10
I have the other place till the end of July. So nice.
Unknown Speaker 0:13
So good way to move in.
Unknown Speaker 0:22
I I'm gonna love the top bolt, only coming through the back. Okay? You
Unknown Speaker 0:59
okay, did
Speaker 1 1:13
you have any questions about the property you move in, anything like that? So, yeah, you would just go through the portal. There's a way that you can add a work order through the portal. Yeah,
Unknown Speaker 1:31
okay, it's like, not Instagram down here in the bathroom.
Speaker 2 1:42
So, is there any other items that you notice just there's a hole in the garage in the wall, okay, we can check that out. I
Speaker 3 1:59
need to come back. Thank you for the extension time I'm dealing with a big project, yeah, no worries, that's fine. You.
Speaker 1 2:27
Okay, this, yeah, so with that, a lot of the stuff that we'll handle is going to be, like, functional, right? So if it's any sort of, like esthetics, or anything like that, like paint chips, things like that. We won't come out and fix those items. I would recommend noting that on your inventory and condition form, I used to know if I needed to note that on there, yeah, no, like, whatever. That's why we're giving you the time to go through your inventory. Condition form, take your time. Take videos, pictures, things like that, and any sort of like, small cosmetic item is not going to be something that we come out and fix, but anything that is functional, like the door, is something that will send somebody out to take care of cool. Do you actually know what some of these switches do in here? I know. So yeah. One, I believe this one, you can hear the garage turn on and off as well. So,
Unknown Speaker 3:26
so that's for the garage and light.
Speaker 1 3:30
This is third three way from this over here. And I'm not positive with this one, to be honest. I think that this one might turn on the outside line. Yeah, those lights over there.
Unknown Speaker 3:44
So if you want,
Speaker 1 3:46
yeah, so this one's for the garage, so you could leave that one on to use your garage, sharpener, anything like that. Yeah,
Speaker 4 3:53
I have that. I found that in the mail, key in the kitchen, perfect. I set up water, electric, trash, Internet, and all that stuff to be transferred later in July, the
Unknown Speaker 4:06
electric and the water is already in my name, and all
Speaker 4 4:11
that gas, and I asked them a lot of my questions already in email about The gas dryer and adding the current rods. And then I should just buy a curtain rod for the bathroom, right? Yeah, okay, because there's not one in there, correct? Okay, cool. Anything else I should know about the property? I know that I take care of this, and then the owner manages the outside area.
Speaker 1 4:34
Yeah, that's water, everything, yeah? So the only like, actual lawn maintenance that you're responsible for is your backyard. The rest is handled by the owner in the area, and then
Speaker 4 4:49
I should water. Is there another hose? Or is this it on the property? I haven't
Speaker 1 4:54
I think that there might be another one closer to the front of the house, maybe on the front or on the side, okay, but, yeah, okay, cool. So I think there's a, like, a attachment or spigot at the front. Okay, perfect. Anything
Unknown Speaker 5:11
else I should know
Speaker 1 5:13
about? Yeah, I'm just gonna run through my spiel if you don't have any more questions. Yeah, no worries. So do you know where the air filter is? It's around here. There's the, I don't know the size, yeah, if it's in there, it'll say it on the actual air filter. Yeah. Okay. And then you know where your electrical panel is, is
Speaker 2 5:41
that the one that's in the garage, correct? Yeah, it's like, right there.
Speaker 1 5:45
Cool and your appliances. So you bring your own washer, dryer, your fridge is not warranty. So if anything were to happen to the fridge, we give you a relatively new appliance. That shouldn't happen within the terms of your lease, right? But if anything were to happen, we would happen, we would send somebody out and at your expense, it would be fixed. Everything else is warranted so dishwasher, stove, top, range, those items are all warrantied. So if something were to happen to them during your lease, we would send somebody out and at the owners expense, they would be fixed. Okay? And then you're responsible for pest control, moving forwards, yard maintenance as well. It's just that backyard that needs to be mowed. The Pest
Speaker 4 6:28
Control, it's outside and inside, correct. Okay, so I can just set up a, like a time for like people to just come
Speaker 1 6:34
in. Jake, absolutely. Okay, absolutely. And then any sort of, like cosmetic issues, paint chips, things like that. Those aren't things that we will send somebody out to fix, but I can
Unknown Speaker 6:46
use the paint that's in the garage. So there are three small
Speaker 1 6:48
cans in there, right? So ideally, we recommend that you don't do touch ups. I'm not gonna, like, say that. It's gonna be like, a big issue, right? But it's going to be the same thing as if, as like curtain rods, right? So if it is to a condition that is noticeable enough that we're going to have to fix it, it would come out of your deposit, right? So I just wanted to make sure that you're aware of that if
Speaker 4 7:22
paint shipped on something and I wanted to just paint over it, I can just, there is a color that I can like, do it myself, right? And then if it needs to be repainted, it's just at my
Speaker 1 7:30
deposit. Okay, I've done that before, okay? And then any functional issues we you'll schedule through the portal, and we will send somebody out. There will be a one time maintenance inspection, and that's going to be in closer to the winter months, and they're going to reach out to you three weeks in advance. It's going to be at your schedule, and they're just coming to check smoke detectors, the air filter and just a couple other things. Cool.
Unknown Speaker 8:00
All right. Did you have any more questions for me? I don't think so. Like, oh, what if I need to change the light bulb to, like, the recess lighting,
Speaker 4 8:08
or in the lights or in the bedroom? Is there, like, an easy way to do that? Or is that something I do, or something maintenance,
Speaker 1 8:14
that would be a maintenance issue? So, like that would if the lights go out, that's something that's not functioning as properly, right? So you can submit that through the portal. Okay, cool. I'm just wondering, because
Unknown Speaker 8:23
I know somebody's like having
Unknown Speaker 8:28
some new Yeah, absolutely, yeah.
Unknown Speaker 8:36
Cool, awesome. Nothing that I have. And then these, I can just
Unknown Speaker 8:46
these refer like old cable and foam, right? Yeah, with all these, like holes that are in the wall, I just
Unknown Speaker 8:56
know absolutely, yeah, anything that is like,
Speaker 1 9:01
not in ideal condition. You'll just know, right? So it seems that like, as you can tell, somebody hung curtain rods in here.
Speaker 4 9:12
Oh, yeah, but it's like somebody had shelving here. Can I just use so it's already here,
Unknown Speaker 9:17
absolutely okay, and then just,
Speaker 4 9:18
that'll just be something that needs to get painted over. Okay? Yeah, so any other maintenance I need to know about specifically, because I know I need to water the foundation based on, like, the heat and temperature and all that, and then maintenance for these appliances. But if something happens I need to, I'll be the most before changing that out. And then I just take it with me when I leave. And then I owner will take care of the bigger outdoor area
Unknown Speaker 9:45
I take care of.
Speaker 1 9:46
So if you it would, it is still owner owned. So if you sunk your money into this, then you would not take it with you. Oh, because that's what the person on the phone told me. Okay, so you we can, if you don't want to put your money into the appliance. We can take it off site, and you can bring your own appliance on site. Okay, oh, no.
Speaker 4 10:06
They said if it completely breaks and I have to get a completely new one, either the owner can replace it, or I could buy a new one and then take it
Speaker 1 10:13
with me. Yeah, yeah, if you purchase your own, then you can absolutely take it with you, right? You're not. That's
Speaker 4 10:18
what I was, that's what she told me, like in the initial call, she's like, just let you know that. Like, if it fully breaks down and it's not under warranty, they might replace it, but you might have to replace
Speaker 1 10:27
it on your Yeah. And if you, if you have to bring your own appliance in, you would take
Speaker 2 10:31
that. Okay, yeah, so that was but just this one, the others are under warranty, correct? Um,
Unknown Speaker 10:36
let's see, and every two months is good for the
Unknown Speaker 10:39
air filter, right. Okay, good. No. I'm
Speaker 4 10:43
trying to think, Oh, should I just leave those boards up there and know if they're up there
Speaker 1 10:47
for a reason? Yeah, I believe so I don't specifically know if they're out there for a reason. I don't necessarily
Speaker 4 10:59
believe. So okay, and then in the winter, I'll get a three week notice about that's it.
Unknown Speaker 11:10
Any other questions I can email? Right? Absolutely, I think that's
Speaker 1 11:17
all perfect. Sounds great. Well, I'll get out of your hair. No, no, it's fine.
Unknown Speaker 11:22
Sorry again, I was working at my other place. Yeah, it's all right.
Unknown Speaker 11:26
Have a great rest of your day. Bye.
