This information presents a guideline to our application and approval process. It is not intended to cover all our policies and procedures. The exact terms in our Rental Agreement shall control.

Note: If a refrigerator is present, it is provided for the convenience of the resident. The owner will not repair or maintain.

Reservation Deposit:  A reservation deposit equal to one month’s rent will be required when you sign your lease. This must be in certified funds or money order. This will be converted to your security deposit at move-in. If you do not take occupancy after you are approved and sign your lease, your reservation deposit will not be returned and it will be used as full settlement of liquidated damages.

Insurance:  Residents must purchase and maintain comprehensive liability, fire and casualty insurance against all perils.  All residents must provide this insurance policy verification at lease signing.

Number of residents: The maximum occupancy allowed in a residence is two persons per bedroom.  No more than six persons may occupy a three- bedroom house.

Pet Policy:  If pets are allowed, a minimum pet deposit of $100 per allowed pet is required. 

Payment Policy:  Rent is due in advance at our office on the first day of the month.  Any rents received after the 1st day of the month will be considered late. If the 1st falls on a weekend, holiday, or postal holiday, then it may be paid on the next business day at our office and will be considered as on time. Any rent paid and accepted after the due date must include a late fee as stipulated in the lease. A warrant for possession may be filed after the 8th day of the month. Any rent received after a warrant is filed, must include our warrant-filing fee.

Availability and application procedure:  Applications are accepted on a first-come, first served basis. Application processing will begin only after the receipt of a signed, completed application accompanied by the proper fees and documentation.  It is the applicant’s responsibility to supply all names, phone numbers, and addresses of employers, past landlords, whether apartment communities, or individuals for the previous two years.  An application fee is required. This fee is non-fundable.

Co-applicants age eighteen or older require separate application forms.  Among our criteria for approval are gross monthly income equal to three time the monthly rent, good credit history, and good residential rental history.

Income:  To expedite processing of application, applicants should include copies of each applicant’s last two pay stubs. Self-employed individuals must provide other proof of income, such as bank statements and/or income tax returns. 

Credit History. An application will be considered high risk if the credit report shows past due balances, collection accounts, judgments, or bankruptcy filings. No applicant in current bankruptcy will be considered.  No evidence of credit is ground for denial. Management will not supply a copy of the credit report to the applicant. If the applicant is not approved, the applicant may request from the credit-reporting agency a free copy of the report from the agency.

Rental History: Proper notice must have been given to the current landlord. A history of payment must be provided as agreed and there may be no lease violations. Rental history from any relative of the applicant will be of very little benefit to the applicant.
