TENANT GUIDELINES

Important facts and need to know items

  1. The Lease must be signed and returned with the deposit paid within 3 business days of the approval of the application. If you fail to comply with this we may continue to market the property to other applicants.
  2. All residents over 18 must sign the lease and have been approved on the tenant application. The application is 39 dollars per adult over 18, we work on a first come first serve basis. That means that once the application has been submitted that the time and date is logged. If you are an applicant that was approved but not first in line on a property we will hold your application and move it to another property within a 30 day period. For credit purposes we cannot hold it for any longer. Also each resident over 18 must have their initials on the bottom of “The Rules” page.
  3. The deposit and first month’s rent will need to be paid with certified funds. We will accept a money order or a cashier’s check. (We have noticed that Walmart offers this form of payment with little costs.)
  4. The deposit must be paid and will be used to hold the property until rent has been paid in full and you bring in confirmation that utilities have been transferred to your name as of your move in date. Once everything has initially been paid, in the future you will be able to pay rent on line if you choose to do so, or you can mail in or drop off your payment to the office.
  5. If the property is older than 1978 you will need to review the lead based paint pamphlet. Look for “Lead Warning Statement” Once you locate it you will find 3 lines labeled for residence to initial. Please review and Initial. This is for every home built after 1978, you can find this at http://www.epa.gov/lead/pubs/leadpdfe.pdf. If you like you can simply print this off and initial the pages and bring them into the office at the time of lease signing, or pick one up at the office when you arrive. We encourage you to research this before you come into the office.

Your rent must be paid prior to move-in and in order to receive the keys. Also if your move-in date is after the 20th of the month you will need to bring in the prorated amount for that month along with the next month’s rent
