1) How do I make an appointment to view a property?

It’s easy! Most of our available properties are available for self tours. Just stop by one of our offices at least an hour before closing and bring your photo ID and $40 cash for a key deposit. We rent keys to anything you find of interest on our vacancy list and refund your key deposit upon return of the keys to our office by the end of business that same day. We are available six days a week!

5) Do you charge an application fee? 

We charge a $45 non-refundable application fee for all applicants/cosigners.  We also charge a separate $100 refundable holding fee that secures the home for you while we process your application.  If approved, the holding fee will be applied toward your security deposit. If your application is denied or you cancel prior to accepting terms the holding fee will be returned to you.

 

6) Do you charge a security deposit? How much is it?

Security deposits are determined on a case by case basis and can range from 1 to 3 months of rent. We pay attention to rental history and credit history.

 

8) When is my rent late and how much is the late fee?

Rent is due on the 1st of each month and we allow a grace period extending to the 5th of each month. If you pay rent after the end of the business day on the 5th, you will be charged an administrative late fee of $40. If you pay rent after the 15th the late fee is $80.

 

9) Do you take personal checks?

During the initial application process and move-in we require payment by money order or cashier’s check only. After approval, for future rental payments we accept cashier’s check, money order, personal check, or paying via rentcafe.com. For the protection of your payments we do not accept cash whatsoever.
