Dear Summer Guest,

Thank you for vacationing on the Jersey Shore and for using the services of Schlosser Real Estate! A few things to help make your check-out a smooth one:

CHECK-OUT TIME is 10AM sharp on your scheduled check-out day.

WALK-THROUGH: It is important to walk through the home before leaving to make sure that you have not left anything behind.

DROP OFF KEYS at 600 Grand Central Avenue, Lavallette. (Corner of Rt 35 N. and President Avenue). If we are not open yet, we have a slot on the front door you can drop them in. If you filled out your re-booking form for next season, you could slide that through as well. However, if you are also leaving your $500 deposit, make sure to put it in a sealed envelope with your re-book form and your name on it.

This year we have released a new online re-booking platform. Simply use the QR code at bottom to visit the form online or visit Schlosserreups.com.

REFRIGERATOR. Before checking out, empty the refrigerator.

PUT OUT GARBAGE. Garbage is an ongoing problem with no Saturday collection. Please do not miss any. It is important that you put out the garbage on scheduled days and follow instructions below upon check-out because you agreed to this in the addendum of your lease. Here is the language in the addendum you signed.

“If you have made no attempt to put your garbage & recycling out for pick-up during your stay which results in no space for the next tenant to store their garbage and/or recycling prior to the following pick-up, there will be a $100 fee paid to a garbage removal service. Lavallette tenants have the option to bring all garbage & recycling to the DPW at 120 Washington Avenue.”

1. Option 1: Leave Garbage bagged and in the garbage can, and Recyclables unbagged and, in the recycling, can provided and the next tenant will put it on the curb after 9:00 pm on the evening before the next scheduled pickup. Accordingly, this means that you are expected to put out the previous tenant’s garbage too.
2. Option 2: Each weekend throughout the summer, the Borough of Lavallette will have a garbage truck parked at the recycling center, located at Washington and Baltimore Avenues from 7:00 am to 2:30 pm. (Washington Avenue is the traffic light at the Ben Franklin Store going northbound on Route 35, or the light at Lavallette Elementary School going southbound.) The truck will be located on the Baltimore Avenue side and will be available for any Lavallette resident or tenant to drop off bags of garbage. You will need to show them a copy of your lease, so make sure you print it or have it accessible on your phone. They are hoping that this alleviates problems for tenants leaving on Saturdays or owners not wanting to leave garbage on Sundays.

Garbage/Recycling Schedules:

Lavallette – East Zone (East of Route 35 South; Dover Avenue to Bryn Mawr Avenue, Including Sterling Avenue.) Both Garbage & Recycling are put out MON & THU.

West Zone (West of Route 35 South; Trenton Avenue to Bryn Mawr Avenue, Including Bay Beach Way and West Point Island.) Both Garbage & Recycling are put out TUE & FRI.

Toms River Twp. (Includes Ortley Beach, Ocean Beaches, Chadwick Beach, Silver Beach, Normandy Beach, Sunset Manor, Monterey Beach) – Garbage Pickup MON & THU. Recycling pickup FRI.

NOTE: Shoulder season tenants (If you check-in any time before or after July or August), please check with your agent or our office for the correct trash pickup days as it may be modified during those dates.

GAS BBQ GRILLS: You are expected to clean the BBQ grills after use. Make sure it is cleaned before check-out. If the tank is empty, make sure to leave a note if you do not get it filled.

BEACH BADGES. If your rental includes beach badges, it is your responsibility to leave the beach badges where you found them in the home upon check-out. Otherwise, you will be responsible for paying to replace them.

LINENS. Most rentals do not include linens. If your rental DID NOT include linens and you brought them or any other items, you must take your linens with you upon check-out.

If your rental INCLUDES CLEANING, this is what you are expected to do upon checking out:

Tenant shall leave premises in a clean & neat condition, reasonable wear & tear excepted & shall remove all food, garbage & recyclables from unit which includes putting out garbage/recyclables to curb on scheduled pickup days and to put any garbage in bags outside in garbage cans on check-out day or take garbage with you and drop off at the town recycling center. Tenant shall clean BBQ grills after use. You do not have to hire a professional cleaner if your rental includes cleaning.

If your rental DOES NOT INCLUDE CLEANING, the house must be left clean. Tenant shall leave premises in a clean & neat condition, reasonable wear & tear excepted & shall remove all food, garbage & recyclables from unit which includes putting out garbage/recyclables to curb on scheduled pickup days and to put any garbage in bags outside in garbage cans on check-out day or take garbage with you and drop off at the town recycling center. Tenant shall clean BBQ grills after use. Tenants must clean themselves or hire a cleaner. If hiring a cleaner, it is important to make arrangements at your earliest convenience. It is not good to wait, as you may have a hard time finding an available cleaner if you wait too long. We will provide you a list of “Insured” cleaners in your welcome packet and you can also view them on our site here: https://schlosserrealestate.com/list-of-cleaners/. Cleaners must be done by 10am on check-out day, so make sure to give them ample time to access the home to clean.

SECURITY DEPOSIT. It is a common misconception that your lease is between yourself and Schlosser Real Estate. Your lease is between you and the landlord. While we are happy to assist you in any way we can, we are not the party responsible for security returns (if you paid one) – the landlord is. It has been our experience that the standards and criteria for returning or withholding security deposits vary greatly from landlord to landlord. To be certain all of your security is returned, report any broken items or unacceptable conditions to us UPON POSSESSION.

RE-BOOK FOR NEXT YEAR. If you wish to reserve the same rental unit for the same corresponding dates, for the following year, you have the first option on those dates (subject to confirmation by the landlord). You have limited time to reserve your weeks for next year, so make sure to do this ASAP after checking out. Otherwise, at a certain date it is considered an available date for anyone to reserve. Please do not count on us to remember that you normally re-rent. Circumstances can change, so you must let us know you wish to re-book.

Follow these steps to re-book.

Option 1: Use the QR code on your pink sheet in your welcome packet to request re-book online. You can also visit http://schlosserreups.com.

Option 2: You can also fill out the Pink form by hand and drop it off to our office when dropping off the keys. Or mail it to our office at 600 Grand Central Ave Lavallette NJ 08735.

All requests to reserve are tentative reservations subject to the Landlord’s availability. A $500 deposit is due within 7 days or your re-book request will be cancelled. You can drop it off to our office or mail it. We only accept cash, check or money order for deposits. Although credit cards can be used to pay your balances, they are not accepted for deposits due to a system limitation.

Hope you have a wonderful time and may it rain only during someone else’s vacation. If we can be of any further assistance, do not hesitate to call (732-793-7755) or come in. Our office hours are Monday- Friday 9 – 4, Saturday 9:30 – 5, Sunday 10 – 3.

Very truly yours,

Matthew S. Schlosser – President/Broker
