I will need this information because my family and I won’t be moving back to the apartment whenever we're back, there is no Registration fee. The Security Deposit would be needed as a Security Bond in order for the keys and paperwork along side with Lease Contract agreement to be sent to you... Electric Bills and Gas
bills, Cable/Internet, etc have been paid for, so I would also need to send the receipts to you, would in case it would be needed.

I would like you to know that you are free to contact me at any time. After I receive these details, I would get back to you soonest and then let
you know my terms.

Pets are allowed.

I hope to hear from you soonest.

Call me now for more details.

God Bless you as you call.
