Tenant FAQs
Answers to your common questions
-
Can you hold a place before I apply?
Properties are rented on a first-come, first-served basis, and we believe in keeping that process fair and transparent for everyone. To secure a rental, a completed application and required fees must be submitted. We encourage you to apply as soon as possible so you don't miss out on a home that's right for you. -
Do I pay the first month's rent and last month's rent with my security deposit?
Move-in costs vary by property, and we are committed to making sure you fully understand what is required before you sign anything. Typically, tenants are asked to pay the first month's rent and a security deposit prior to move-in. Some properties may also require last month's rent, and we will always communicate those details clearly and upfront. -
How old do you have to be to apply?
All applicants must be of legal age to enter into a lease agreement, which is generally 18 years or older. We handle every application with honesty and consistency, ensuring the process is straightforward for everyone involved. -
Is the deposit refundable?
Yes, security deposits are refundable when all lease terms are fulfilled and the property is returned without damage beyond normal wear and tear. Deductions may apply for unpaid rent, damages, or cleaning fees. We handle this process with full transparency so there are never any surprises. -
Who needs a cosigner?
A cosigner may be required when an applicant does not meet the income, credit, or rental history qualifications on their own. Cosigners must meet financial requirements and sign a guarantor agreement. We work with applicants honestly and directly to find the right path forward. Co-signers are accepted on a case by case basis. Not all of our properties offer the opportunity for a Co-signer -
You have a property I want to rent. How do I apply?
Applications can be submitted online, and we are here to guide you through every step. You will need a completed application, an application fee, and supporting documentation such as proof of income and a valid form of identification. We believe the process should be clear, simple, and respectful of your time. -
How do I pay rent?
Rent can typically be paid online through a tenant portal, by automatic bank transfer, or by check or money order, depending on the options available for your property. We make sure payment methods are communicated clearly so you always know what to expect. -
I want to get a pet. What should I do?
Before bringing a pet into your home, review your lease agreement and reach out to our team directly. Some properties welcome pets with an additional deposit or monthly pet rent, while others have restrictions in place. We will always give you an honest, straightforward answer so you can make the right decision for your household. -
I want to move out, but my roommate wants to stay. What should I do?
All tenants listed on a lease are jointly responsible for the full lease term, so this situation requires careful handling. If your roommate wishes to stay, they may need to qualify independently or a replacement tenant may need to be approved by management. We encourage open communication and will work with all parties to find a solution that is fair and in line with the lease terms. -
My lease expiration is coming, and I want to move out. What should I do?
Most leases require written notice before vacating, and it is important to review your lease for the specific notice period required. Submit your intent to vacate in writing by the required deadline to ensure a smooth and respectful transition. We appreciate clear communication and will do our part to make the move-out process as straightforward as possible. -
Who is responsible for paying for repairs & maintenance requests?
Our team is responsible for handling routine maintenance and repairs, and we take that responsibility seriously. Tenants may be held responsible for damages resulting from negligence or misuse. All maintenance requests should be submitted promptly through the appropriate channels, and we are committed to responding with the care and urgency your home deserves.
