Question 4

If I like an available home, what is the process for renting?

Accepted Answer

Renting Process
1. Explore the Property: View pictures, read the description, and watch the virtual tour (if available) on our website to ensure it meets your needs.
2. Get Started: Click "Get Started" on the home you are interested in and complete an application. An associate will reach out to you to gather additional information, answer questions, and verify your showing time or guide you through the next steps. You can also choose to submit your application without a showing.
3. Application Process: The application will be reviewed initially. If you've scheduled a showing, attend it and then proceed with the application fee payment online while you are there. Otherwise, you will be able to pay the application fee and submit your application when you speak with an associate. Your application will be processed within 1-3 business days.
4. Move-In Preparation: Upon acceptance, schedule your move-in date, sign the lease, and pay the remaining security deposit and any initial rent or fees online.
5. Move In: Take advantage of our Self Move-In Program to conveniently move into your new home on your schedule.

Question 5

How much is the application fee?

Accepted Answer

The application fees are:
 • $100 for a single person application
 • $35 to add a second applicant on the same application as a leaseholder
 • $25 per additional occupant 18 years of age or older. 
It will be due when you decide to submit your application for processing and approval. It is non-refundable unless another application is accepted and your application is not declined.

Question 6

What are acceptable payment options?

Accepted Answer

You can pay your application fee online through your portal by credit card, debit card or ACH payment.

Once you are accepted for a home you will be able to pay for rent, utilities, fees and anything you would owe online with your checking account, credit card, debit card or cash via CashPay through your same portal.

Question 7

How much do I need to make to qualify?

Accepted Answer

You will need a minimum of three times the rent in gross(pre-tax) income. For example, an $800 rental would require you make $2,400 per month in pre-tax income. This includes pensions, child support, disability, etc.

Question 8

Do you allow pets?

Accepted Answer

In our rentals, we have a no pet dogs policy – no exceptions. We do allow cats. Our rentals have a pet fee for cats of $25 per cat per month and there is a 2-cat limit. Other pets may be accepted depending on what they are and have a similar pet charge.

Question 9

What does "Pending" mean?

Accepted Answer

Pending means the home is not available, but it hasn't been finalized with the new residents yet. This typically means there are applications that are being processed and the home will most likely be taken by one of them. Alternatively, an application has been accepted and the paperwork is being done. Either way, "Pending" means the home is not currently available but you can check back to see if that changes. You are welcome to contact us and let us know that you would be interested in the home if something falls through.
