Leases are important legal contracts and should be read carefully before signing.

A lease is a contractual obligation which is drawn up to protect the rights of the resident and the property owner. It describes the basic rights and coverage for both parties involved. All questions and problems concerning leases should be directed to Northern Management's main office (320-255-9262). It is the resident's responsibility to know all the ramifications and terms of the lease. Management will not seek out the resident to explain procedures.

All leases are set up for a specific term/time period. After the initial term/expiration date on the lease, a resident must give a full two months written notice prior to the ending date on the lease. If a resident fails to give a written notice, the resident extends their obligation to the nest available notice period. This notice does not mean that the resident can terminate the lease in midstream (i.e. in the middle of a 12-month lease contract). All notices must be received prior to the first of the month. Any notices received after the first of the month will be valid at the beginning of the following month. Northern Management reserves the right to terminate the lease with proper notice.

A Bedroom Lease is a legal and binding document for renting a single bedroom in a multi-bedroom apartment with other residents for a specific period of time. This is the lease you will sign if you rent from West Campus, College View, Watertower, The Pines, Wannigan, or Campus View Apartments. The common area in the apartment is jointly shared by management and roommates. It is necessary for management to monitor the cleanliness of the common area through inspections, and it is necessary for management to have access to vacant bedrooms in order to show and market them. A bedroom lease is not for a specific bedroom at the complex, and management will only hold obligations equal to the number of allowable bedrooms at the complex. Under a bedroom lease, management reserves the right to transfer a tenant to a comparable bedroom if the multi-bedroom apartment is not fully occupied; all remaining terms and conditions of the lease will remain in effect if such a transfer takes place.

At Northern Management, we ask that, if possible, our tenants sign the lease at the property they are renting.
