Tenant FAQs
Answers to your frequently asked questions
-
Can I hold a property before applying?
We require a completed application first. Upon approval, you'll have 48 hours to submit a $250 Holding Deposit, securing the property exclusively for you during this period. This deposit will be applied to your move-in costs upon lease execution or refunded if tenancy conditions change after receipt, except if withdrawal occurs by the applicant(s). -
What payments are due at move-in?
At move-in, we collect pro-rated rent charges, the security deposit and any additional deposits if needed. The next full month's rent is due on the first day of the following month. -
What is the minimum age to apply?
Applicants must be at least 18 years old. First-time renters may need a guarantor/cosigner to support their application. -
Who requires a guarantor/cosigner?
Generally, applicants without two years of rental history, earning less than three times the rent, or with lower credit scores than the property's requirements will need a cosigner.
-
Is the security deposit refundable?
Yes, provided the lease conditions are met, the property is restored to its initial state (minus normal wear and tear), all keys and devices are returned, and any charges or fees are settled.
-
How do I apply for a property?
Applications can be submitted online via the marketing listing link. -
What are my rent payment options?
Rent can be paid through your Resident Portal via ACH, check, cashier's check, or money order, either in person or via USPS. -
What happens if I pay my rent late?
Late rent payments may incur fees as outlined in your lease agreement. We encourage timely payments to avoid any charges. -
How can I get a pet?
Verify the unit's pet policy with a property manager before acquiring a pet. Then, complete a PetScreening profile and pay any required deposits. -
What if I want to move out but my roommate wants to stay?
Discuss with a property manager. The remaining tenant must qualify independently or find a new approved roommate. A Roommate Addendum is required for changes mid-lease. -
How do I renew my lease?
If you're interested in renewing your lease, please contact us through your Resident Portal or directly to discuss renewal options and any potential changes to the terms. -
My lease is expiring, and I plan to move out. What are the steps?
We provide lease renewal options 45-60 days before your lease ends. If you choose not to renew and do not notify us 30 days before the lease's expiration, we will assume you're moving out. Alternatively, you can give notice through your portal. -
How do I submit a maintenance request?
Maintenance requests can be submitted directly through your Resident Portal. Provide a detailed description of the issue for prompt service. -
How do I submit a pest control issue?
If you encounter a pest issue in your rental, please visit our website and click on the pest share icon. From there, you'll be prompted to fill out a form with the necessary information regarding your pest control concern. -
Who covers repairs and maintenance costs?
The landlord typically covers most repairs and maintenance. If damage is caused by the tenant or their guests' negligence, the tenant may be responsible for the costs. -
Can I decorate my rental?
Minor decorations are usually permitted, but please refer to your lease agreement for specific guidelines or request approval from your property manager for any changes.
