contact Renters Warehouse by phone (404) 662-2322, by email to Renters Warehouse at
ACHATL@Renterswarehouse.com with Tenants name, property address and email address. Renters
Warehouse will then send an email to Tenant to activate the free tenant portal to make Rent payments.
Tenant may also make payments over the Internet at www.renterswarehouse.com/atlanta website under
Tenants tab, Online Rent Payment. In the event a bank transfer is rejected for any reason, Tenant will
be charged a Late Fee (as later defined herein). If payment is denied by the bank for any reason, a fee of
$30.00, or 5% of returned item amount whichever is greater, plus bank fees will be additionally charged
to Tenant and, all future payments may be required in the form of cashiers check, money order or
certified funds. A surcharge of at least $17.00 will be applied to all payments made by Visa, MasterCard,
American Express, and Discover credit card transactions paid through the tenant portal or the website.
(*Renters Warehouse reserves the right to disable portal payments for any reason. Manual entry payment
fee will not apply if Renters Warehouse elected to disable Tenant portal option.)
2. Payment by Mail. ($10.00 fee applied for each manual entry payment submitted) Tenant may mail Rent

payments should be made payable to: Renters Warehouse - Atlanta and mailed to the following
address: 931 Monroe Drive NE, Suite A102-300, Atlanta, GA 30308. Rent payments must be received
by due date to be considered paid on time. Postmarks do not qualify as indication of receipt. *Landlord

payment. Renters Warehouse may reject payments made by unapproved methods and a late fee assessed
pursuant to Section 2 of this Lease. Renters Warehouses acceptance of a personal or business check as
payment method does not waive its right to reject unapproved payment methods in the future regardless
of whether the Rent payment is made in a timely manner.
2
RWATL Managed v2016.5
Unless changed by written notice pursuant to the provisions above, all rent payable under this Lease shall be paid
to the Landlord at the above-specified address.
In the event that any payment required to be paid by Tenant hereunder is not made by the end of day
(11:59 pm) on the due date, Tenant shall pay, in addition to such payment or other charges due hereunder,
a "Late Fee" equal to $125.00, or 10% of your rent, whichever is greater. Failure to impose or collect such
Late Fee by Landlord does not mean that Landlord has accepted payment as timely. Any balance not paid in full
by the last day of the calendar month is subject to accrue additional Late Fees. Failure to impose or collect such
Late Fee does not imply that Landlord or Renters Warehouse accepts late payments, nor does it change the date
Rent is due hereunder. In the event any payments or fees are not paid when due, Tenant may be subject to any
and all available legal remedies, including but not limited to eviction, collection, and/or damages. The Tenant will
be charged $25 each occurrence of the Landlord or Property Manager sending a Certified Mail 3 Day Notice.
Acceptance of late fees and the rental payment shall not constitute a waiver of the Property Managers or
Landlords rights or remedies. In the event partial rent payment is made or accepted at any time during or after the
Term, this does not constitute acceptance of a lower Rent amount, but merely is credited as payment towards the
full amount due. Full payment is required despite the Property Managers or Landlords acceptance of any partial
payment and does not imply a waiver of Landlords right to the balance of the Rent due and owing for such
payment(s).
Acceptance of partial payment does not waive the Property Managers or Landlords right to bring or maintain an
eviction action or to impose a Late Fee; in fact, partial payment is deemed as late payment unless full payment is
made by due date. In the event that the rent is not paid on or before the date that the rent is due, the Landlord may
also declare the Tenant in default of the Lease and terminate this Lease and begin eviction proceedings. In that
event, this Lease shall automatically terminate and the Tenants right of possession hereunder shall terminate.
Renters Warehouse is authorized to institute on behalf of Landlord, all legal actions or proceedings for the
enforcement of any Lease term, for the collection or rent or other income for the Premises or for the eviction of
Tenant or other occupants from the Premises. Renters Warehouse is authorized to sign and serve such notices on
behalf of Landlord as Renters Warehouse deems necessary for enforcement of the Lease, and Tenant will accept
each such notice from Renters Warehouse as equivalent to receiving the same notice from Landlord.
In the event that any of the Tenants payments are insufficient or not cashable by Property Manager, Property
Manager may request all payments, including future payments to be made by cashiers check, money order or
certified funds.
Post-dated checks shall not be accepted. Neither Landlord not Property Manager shall be liable for any fees
incurred as a result of insufficient/returned checks, pre-dated checks, or early deposits. Any such fees will be
passed on to the Tenant and constitute part of the rent. In addition, Tenants agrees to pay a NSF fee of $30.00, or
5% of returned item amount, plus bank fees (whether drawn on insufficient funds or for any other reason that may
cause the bank not to process such payment), plus all applicable Late Fees. In the event a non-sufficient payment
is used for Rent, Security Deposit, late fees or other fee/penalty payments, Landlord will require that the only
forms of acceptable future payments from Tenant are money order, cashiers checks and/or pay Rent by credit
card.
3
RWATL Managed v2016.5
Allocation of Payments: All funds received from Tenant shall first be applied to rent, unless there are
outstanding late fees, NSF fees, administration fees, warrant fees, utility charge backs, maintenance charge backs
and any other fees due under this Lease.
Prohibition against Withholding Rent for Repairs: The Tenant is prohibited from making any
repairs/renovations to the home without the express written consent of Landlord. In the event the Tenant chooses
to make any repairs/maintenance to the Premises, with or without the consent of Landlord, Tenant shall not under
any circumstance deduct the sums of those repairs from any rents or fees due to Landlord.

rendered necessary or desirable by reason of the negligence, carelessness, accident or abuse by Tenant or the
invitees, guests, or members of Tenants household beyond ordinary wear and tear, or to pay (or apply against)
any other amounts owed by Tenants to Landlord as permitted by law. (e) The application of the Security Deposit
shall at all times be at the sole discretion of Landlord in accordance with this Lease and Georgia Law. The

the actions by Landlord of its duties hereunder. (g) All parties hereby agree to indemnify and hold Renters

the performance of Renters Warehouse of its duties hereunder. All parties further covenant and agree not to sue
Renters Warehouse for damages relating to any decision of Renters Warehouse to disburse the Security Deposit
made in accordance with the requirements of this Lease or to interplead the Security Deposit into a court of
competent jurisdiction. (h) In the event property ownership or property management has changed, Landlord (not
Renters Warehouse) shall be solely responsible for the return of the Security Deposit. In this event, Renters
Warehouse shall not be liable for any damages, costs, fees, and/or penalties associated with non-payment, timely
repayment or return of the Security Deposit and Tenant agrees to excuse Renters Warehouse from any such claim
or cause of action upon receiving confirmation from Renters Warehouse of the then-current Landlords name and
address with confirmation that ownership or management has changed and that Renters Warehouse no longer
