-
Can you hold a place before I apply?
No. We require a full credit/background check on all prospective tenants before we move forward with securing the unit.
-
Do I pay first month’s rent and last month’s rent with my security deposit?
We require first month’s rent, last month’s rent and security deposit to move into any of our units.
-
Is the security deposit refundable?
Yes. We do a full inspection once you have turned in all keys and remotes and return the security deposit as long as we do not find any security claims.
-
You have a property I want to rent. How do I apply?
You can download a credit/background application off of our website at the bottom of the annual listings page or come into our office and fill one out in person.
-
How do I pay rent?
You can mail in your rent each month, drop it off during regular business hours, pay online through electronic check or have it automatically deducted each month.
-
I want to get a pet. What do I do?
Some properties do not allow pets at all. There are also certain pets that we do not allow. If you want to get a pet, you need to consult your agent to see if the owner would allow a pet. If so, you need to provide proof of up to date shots, a picture of the pet, signed pet addendum and a $200 nonrefundable pet fee.
-
I want to move out, but my roommate wants to stay. What do I do?
You are equally liable for the terms of the lease. If your roommate wants to stay, he/she would need to sign an addendum releasing you from your lease obligations and make up your half of the last month’s rent and security deposit.
-
My lease expiration is coming and I want to move out. What do I do?
You need to provide written notice no later than 30 days prior to your move out date. If it is after that, you can be charged for another month’s rent.
-
Who is responsible for paying for repairs and maintenance requests?
Tenants are responsible for useable items (ie: light bulbs, smoke alarm batteries, filters, etc.). If an item in the unit is not functioning correctly as a result of normal wear and tear, the owner is responsible for repairing it.
-
Is there another application for homes in HOAs and do I pay that fee?
No. The owner pays any association application fee.
-
Who is responsible for HOA dues/fees?
The owner pays all HOA dues and fees unless a fine is incurred as a result of something the tenant is doing.
-
Are there any restrictions on vehicles?
Some associations do not allow pick-up trucks or marked vans. This is largely subjective and based on each association so it is best to ask in advance.
-
How do I renew my lease?
About 60-90 days prior to the end of your lease, you will receive a renewal notice in the mail. If you intend to renew your lease, you will need to contact us and we will set up a time to do a renewal inspection with you where we sign the renewal paperwork at that time.
