Get Answers to Frequently Asked Tenants Questions
Can you hold a place before I apply?
We typically require a completed application and application fee before holding a property. This helps ensure fairness and efficiency in the rental process.
Do I pay my first and last month’s rent with my security deposit?
The payment structure may vary depending on the property and lease terms. Sometimes, you may be required to pay the first month’s rent and a security deposit upfront. However, the last month’s rent is typically not collected at the beginning of the lease term.
How old do you have to be to apply?
To apply for a rental property, you generally need to be at least 18 years old or of legal age in the jurisdiction where the property is located. This ensures that tenants are legally responsible for the terms of the lease.
Is the deposit refundable?
The security deposit is typically refundable, subject to certain conditions. If there are no damages beyond normal wear and tear and all lease obligations are fulfilled, you can expect to receive a refund of your deposit upon move-out.
Who needs a cosigner?
A cosigner is sometimes required if an applicant does not independently meet the income or credit requirements. A cosigner is responsible for fulfilling the lease’s financial obligations if the primary tenant cannot do so.
You have a property I want to rent. How do I apply?
On our website, you can typically find an online application form to apply for a rental property. Fill out the application completely and submit it along with any required supporting documentation and the application fee. Our team will review your application and notify you of the next steps.
I want to get a pet. What do I do?
If you want a pet, please contact our team to discuss our pet policy. Some properties may have specific pet restrictions or require additional pet-related fees. We will provide the information and guidelines to ensure a smooth pet approval process.
I want to move out, but my roommate wants to stay. What do I do?
If you do not wish to renew your lease at the end of its term, please notify us in writing before the specified notice period. This will allow us to provide the necessary instructions and guide you through the move-out process.
Who is responsible for paying for repairs and maintenance requests?
As a tenant, you are typically responsible for promptly reporting any repairs or maintenance requests to our team. We will assess the situation and determine whether it is the tenant’s responsibility or the landlord’s responsibility to cover the costs. This may vary depending on the nature of the repair or maintenance issue and the terms outlined in your lease agreement.
If you have any further questions or need additional information, please don’t hesitate to contact our team. We are here to assist you throughout your tenancy and ensure a positive rental experience.
