Roommate Transfers BRIM Properties does allow for roommate transfers with a lease in place. Roommate transfer criteria is as follows:
- The tenant(s) leaving or the tenants remaining in the property will be responsible to find the replacement roommate. BRIM Properties will not advertise, show, or in other anyway try to find a replacement roommate.
- BRIM Properties will not deal with deposits or pro-rations of rent from out-going and incoming tenants. It is the responsibility of the parties coming in and going out to deal with between them. BRIM Properties will only deal with deposits once all contractual obligations have been fulfilled and all residents have vacated the property. When all tenants have vacated the property and the account is settled, only one (1) deposit refund check will be issued to one resident of whom the roommates all elect to receive it. It will be the responsibility of that tenant to disperse funds to other residents for deposit refunds.
- All potential tenants must fill out an application on the website and be approved by BRIM Properties. BRIM Properties has full authority to deny an application for a new roommate based on the usual criteria as outlined under the section General Policies as listed on our website. All parties will be notified by email when the new applicant has been approved. Both the out-going and in-coming tenants will need to make an appointment to come into the BRIM Properties office to sign the lease transfer document.
