How do I apply to rent a home?
Please call our office to set an appointment with a Leasing Agent to view the property you are interested in. Upon viewing the property, you can complete an application with the Leasing Agent. The Agent will also collect the application fee and a reservation deposit at this time. Applications are processed "first come, first serve by deposit". You are asked to pay a "Rent Reservation Payment" at the time you apply equal to one half of one month's rent to hold the property for you. The application accompanied by the "Rent Reservation Payment" paid first will be processed first. If the application is denied, or if you change you mind within 24 hours of the application being approved, the Rent Reservation Payment is refunded. Back to Top

Who must complete an application and what are the requirements?
All adults age 18 and over must present photo identification and complete an application. The income requirement is 3 times the monthly rent. We will check your landlord and employment references to determine your ability to pay the rent on time and to take care of the property. Back to Top

How much is the application fee?
All individuals completing an application must pay a $35 ($50 for married couple) non-refundable fee with the application. Back to Top

What do the application and reservation fees cover?
The application fee will cover the processing of credit, employment and residential history. We use CBI/Equifax and National Tenant Network to help process the background check. The reservation fee is applied to the first month's rent charge. Back to Top

What if my application is denied?
The application fee is spent when we process the background check. The "Rent Reservation Payment" will be returned to you in full. Back to Top

When will the application and reservation fees be deposited?
The application fee will be deposited as soon as processing starts. The "Rent Reservation Payment" will be deposited 24-hours after notification of an approved application and becomes non-refundable at that time. We tell any other interested parties that the property is rented and we are holding it for you until the scheduled move in date. Back to Top

How much is the security deposit?
Usually the security deposit is equal to one month's rent. From time to time, some owners may offer special promotions to help lease their property more quickly. The security deposit is paid when you move in and must be paid by certified funds (cashier's check or money order).  $200.00 of the security deposit is a non-refundable administrative fee to help offset the costs of preparing the move-in package and conducting the "move-in" and "move-out" inspections. Back to Top

Are there any pet fees?
The pet addendum, and any related deposit or fee is negotiated on a case by case basis but usually starts at $250 per animal. Usually the pet deposit is fully refundable. Our pet addendum requires that the Resident have the property professionally treated for fleas and the carpet professionally cleaned once they move out. Back to Top

What will I owe at move in?
The balance of the one month's rent and the security deposit are due at move-in regardless of the day of the month. If you move in during the middle of a month the prorated rent charge will be due on the first day of the second month you are in the property. Top

What are the standard lease periods?
Generally our leases are for a period of 12 Months. Back to Top

When is the rent due?
Rent is due on the first of each month. A 10% late fee is assessed if we have not received your rent by the 5th day of the month. Back to Top

What are the penalties for early termination of a lease?
If you decide to move out prior to the end of the lease term then you will be required to give us 60 days written notice, pay rent through that 60 day notice period, and pay a penalty. The early termination fee is equal to the lesser of one month's rent or ¼ of the rent due during the remaining lease term.
