We will send multiple reminders. $800-$900 for snow removal (estimate; each driveway is different). Half the rent is due 60 days prior to arrival (November 3, 2025) and the other half is due prior to move in (by January 2, 2026). Homes with hot tubs will have the tenant/s take over the hot tub contract. The costs are approximately a $250.00-$350.00 service fee per month and that includes a few services a month. Costs are higher if the water needs to be changed more frequently due to not showing prior to use, etc.. The homeowner will pay for the dump and scrub of the hot tub just prior to lease beginning and the tenant will pay for a dump and scrub at the end of the lease.
