Afghan should give you plenty of education time.

I state at the bottom that I am represented by an agent and ask them to consider this my formal offer with official contract & addendum's to follow with in 24 hours of their verbal acceptance of my offer.  

Those are official numbers.

http://www.teamprice.com/tar-2001-residential-lease.phpThat's the official Texas Association of Realtors (TAR) lease you'll find at almost any apartment complex.

Also make sure that the rental cap has been officially adopted by the association, and isn't a "suggestion" by the management company.

Is it official to the tenant like "you were advised"?

Depends how much the plug costs, compared to Realtor dues.Interesting tidbits: Move has to license the use of the name Realtor.com from the NAR and the NAR feeds Realtor.com listing information directly, every 15 minutes, as it's used as their "official" site, even though they don't own it.

Do I have to mess with a double close where I officially buy it and then sell it 10 minutes later?  

I officially quit trying to wrangle a group together.

Officially saying hello and am looking forward to learning from all of you.Thank you, Marjorie
