Tenant FAQs
Answers to your common questions…
-
CAN A RENTAL RESIDENCE BE RESERVED JUST FOR ME?
Yes! When you find the home you wish to rent from us, you may pay a Reservation Fee after we receive and approve your rental application. Once we receive your Reservation Fee, we will reserve the property specifically for you. Please note that if we reserve a property for your future rental use and you change your mind, you will forfeit 100% of your Reservation Fee. Make sure you are 100% certain you want that specific property before reserving.

HOW MUCH MONEY DOES IT TAKE TO MOVE INTO A RENTAL PROPERTY?
The security deposit amount will equal one month’s rent. The last month’s rent requirement will be the same as the security deposit. Additionally, the first month's rent is due on move-in. Personal checks or online payments are accepted for your monthly rent after the initial move-in funds are paid. Advance funds must be paid in certified funds (Cashier's Checks or Money Orders only).
