FAQS:
These are some of the most Frequently Asked Questions
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. You can also complete the application on this website. An Agent will collect the application fee and a reservation deposit. Applications are processed "first come, first serve by deposit". You are asked to pay a "Full Security Deposit" or 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 your 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 usually 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

All individuals completing an application must pay a $35 non-refundable fee with the application. Back to Top

When will the application and reservation fees be deposited?
The application fee will be deposited as soon as processing starts.

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.

Yes, your security deposit is refundable before you sign a lease agreement.
Once a lease agreement has been signed, all stipulations in the lease must be satisfied to receive a refund on your security deposit. Back to Top

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 1Ž4 of the rent due during the remaining lease term. Back to Top

The Progressive Protection Plan is a simple nonrefundable warranty product for prospective tenants who normally would not be able to pass the application process. It it is offered to prospective tenants who have poor credit. The plan may also be offered to prospective tenants who have had foreclosures and/or evictions within the last three years.
