How can I submit a rental application?
You have to be at least 18 years old. You may fill out an application on our online portal, or download the application and return a completed application to our office.
Is it possible to apply for a property that I haven't viewed?
No, you need to send an application for a viewed property. Otherwise, we will deny your application while retaining the application fee. We understand that you may not have time to view the property. In this case, you could arrange for a friend or family member to view the property on your behalf.
It's important to see the property instead of only looking at the photos. The photos serve as an approximate representation. Applicants should check whether the property matches their expectations and needs.
How can I visit a property?
Call the number on the listing directly or click here to contact us through the contact page. After receiving a request, we'll quickly organize a property viewing. Our goal is to make sure you'll find your dream home.
Do I have to sign a lease?
Yes, you have to sign a lease online or offline by appointment. Most of our properties come with a 12-month lease. It states the responsibilities of both sides covering the whole tenancy period.
What is your security deposit policy?
Security deposits are determined on a case-by-case basis for each applicant.
How do the rent payments work?
Your rent is due on the first day of every month. We offer a variety of payment options.
- Your online portal will allow you to make rent payments in three ways:
- Via ACH at no charge
- Via a debit card with a flat fee of $9.99
- Via a credit card with a 3.5% service fee
- Mail the rent directly to our office. Don't forget to indicate your address and unit number on the money order memo.
- Use PayNearMe to pay at Retail Cash Payments.
- ACH Bank Transfers
Please note that cash payments aren't accepted due to security reasons.
When do you increase the rent?
Rent increases usually happen after the lease term expiration. Of course, rent isn't always increased. Our analysis accounts for the property owner's requests and relevant market conditions.
What happens if I can't pay the rent on time?
Immediately call our accounts receivables department. Failing to contact could lead to an eviction.
Am I allowed to have a roommate?
Yes, but every roommate needs to get approval. You can do this using a rental application form. After filling out the form, pay the application fee, and wait for the screening results. Skipping any of these steps violates the lease and could lead to termination.
What kind of situations are emergencies?
Emergencies threaten human lives and/or cause property damage. For example, a burst pipe flooding the home and a broken heater during the cold season are considered emergencies.
What's the pet policy?
The pet policy depends on the terms in each specific lease agreement. When you already have a pet and you want to add an extra one, please call our office first. We will process every request separately depending on the lease terms.
Can I change the locks?
No, you would violate the lease agreement terms. It's possible to install new locks, but then you must write a request. Wish to add extra locks? You must bear the associated costs. Our approved contractors need to conduct the work.
Can managers and staff enter my home when I'm not there?
If there's a need to enter the property, we'll notify you beforehand. There are many possible reasons for the entrance of managers or staff. For example, landlords may enter the home for emergency repairs. Also, they might allow insurance agents or inspectors to enter the property. But regular maintenance is preferably carried out when you aren't away from home.
Do I need renters’ insurance?
Yes, all the tenants need to have renters’ insurance before moving in. You must show a renters’ insurance confirmation before getting the keys.
