Please reach out to us with what bill(s) specifically you’re unable to transfer and clarity from the utility company as to why they are not allowing the transfer.

This would require the remaining party or the incoming party to apply for the home.

We’ll need to send you a document called a Cosmetic Change Form. Fill that out with the specifics of what modifications you’d like to make and we’ll pass it along to the owner. As long as they sign off on it you’ll be free to move forward with those changes.

Unfortunately, in most cases our system doesn’t allow us to change the rental pull dates and we need to stick to the date listed on your lease.

You MUST pay in full and verify with Collections on what that final balance is, as there may be legal fees if we’ve sent your case to an attorney.

We require a 30 day notice and there is also a Lease Break Fee the amount of which depends on the terms of your lease for terminating the lease early.

We operate across the U.S. and things are constantly changing so there isn’t a way to definitely provide that information, but know that we will always abide by all local and state rental assistance laws.

We look at your credit, background, rental history, & income

1. Credit check: It’s a hard hit and we use TransUnion
2. Background check
3. Rental history (mainly looking for negligence, like evictions or collections, more info below)
4. Proof of income:

• Other income: ask your Leasing Agent

If this is the first time you’re renting, that’s not a problem at all. With rental history we’re mainly checking for anything negligent; like open collections to a previous landlord/management company or evictions.

While your application will automatically come back as declined if you have an eviction or open collection on your record, the Homeowner may be willing to override with written documentation that the debt has been satisfied.

Our homes fill extremely quickly and we require that the lease begins within 21 days of when your application is approved.

The application fee is a one time, non-refundable $50.00 fee per applicant 18 and older. (NOTE: This fee is charged as soon as you send the application in. If we don’t receive the app fee, we can’t run the app.)

The application will be emailed to you directly through our system shortly after a showing. While you can apply without seeing the home, we generally recommend a tour first as the application fee is non-refundable.

The application can also be found online on our website if you’re unable to do a tour.

Anyone living in the home over the age of 18 will need to fill out an application.

Yes, there is an upfront pet deposit that for most homes is $250-$350 per pet as well as a trailing fee per month per pet that is usually $25-$35 added to your rent. (The deposit alone is refundable along with the SD depending on the state of the home). Each home is different, though, so specific fees will be on the application.

At the very minimum it will be *Security Deposit, Rent, and Fees (**Resident Benefit Package, pet,  short-term). There are so many factors that go into it, but we recommend a showing so the Leasing Specialist can give you all of that information if you apply.

*First months rent is prorated & Security Deposit may increase depending on the results of the application. 

**$350.00 one time Admin/Processing fee = one time, set up fee. This covers the drawing up of your Lease, Utility Addendum, Breakdown of Move-in Funds, and any Addendums. It also includes the set up of your Ledger, processing move-in funds (as well as recurring payments), and getting you set up correctly in our system.

Our homes go very quickly so we tend to fill the home for the listed amount; you can always ask your Leasing Specialist once you apply.

It does come with all the appliances you see. The other furnishings you see, like the furniture & decor, is just part of our virtual staging so you get a good idea of how the home may look occupied.

It takes about 1-2 business days* to process the application, possibly longer if we’re waiting on final approval from the owner. Our Leasing Agent will always reach out to you once we have an answer for you.
