HOW TO OWN OR LEASE
Use of the Kent Swim and Tennis Club (KSTC) facilities is limited to owners and those who lease for the season from an owner. To become an owner, you must purchase a membership directly from a current owner. The current owner determines the purchase price, and KSTC does not manage any negotiations.
Not sure if you are ready to become an owner? Many families choose to lease from an owner for a season to determine how much they will enjoy/use the club before they buy. Keep in mind, you may only lease one season.
Our Buy/Sell/Lease List provides contact information for available ownerships.
ABOUT THE BUY/LEASE PROCESS
- Ownership and lease prices are determined by negotiations between the owner and purchaser/leaser. KSTC does not set, nor have any say, in pricing. The following fees are above and beyond the purchase price:
- KSTC charges a $250 transfer fee for sales
- KSTC charges a $150 transfer fee for leases
- When an agreement has been reached, the current owner must notify the Membership Chairperson of the proposed transaction.
- The Membership Chair must be contacted before any money or paperwork changes hands. Failing to notify the Membership Chair of your intent to sell or lease will delay the processing of the transaction.
- Once notified, the Membership Chair will submit the proposed transaction to the KSTC board for approval. Per KSTC bylaws, the board must approve all transactions.
- When the board has approved the transaction, the Membership Chair will notify the owner.
- The purchaser and owner will then complete the appropriate paperwork. Completed paperwork and the appropriate KSTC transfer fee must be mailed to the PO Box listed at the top of the paperwork.
- The new owner/leaser can begin to use and enjoy the facilities after all paperwork/payment has reached the KSTC bookkeeper and the Membership Chair has completed the transfer.
SELL/LEASE LIST
Each owner negotiates their own price and terms for the sale/lease of the ownership with prospective buyer/lessee.
