Application Process
Info You Need
We are looking forward to being of service to you, so let's get started with how the rental/leasing application works - Here are some of the most common questions new tenants ask:
Buyer Beware!
It is possible for Owners to deny any applications with the following issues-
1. A foreclosure within the past year.
2. A Bankruptcy which has been discharged less than 12 months ago
3. Continuing Negative credit history following a Bankruptcy
4. A prior eviction filed within the past year, or unpaid rent.
5. A Felony conviction could cause your application to be denied, depending upon the type of felony and the date of the conviction.
Rent is expected by the FIRST day of each month. The rent you pay may be used by Your Landlord to pay mortgages, repairs, maintenance, licensing fees, taxes, insurance, and possibly utilities. As you can see, receiving the rent in a timely manner is extremely important! Rent will be considered late and late fees will apply by the 6th. day of each month. If your rent payment is returned to us for ANY reason by your financial institution, we can request payments for rent for a minimum of one year with certified funds. It is also possible that you may lose your status in our reliable tenant program, and your monthly rental payment could be increased.
Do you accept Section 8, or Subsidized Programs?
It is possible that an owner will accept one of these programs. If we have a home for rent/lease in an area that requires acceptance of any source of income, and you are a Section 8 or Program tenant, we will need to gather the application from you in as complete a form as possible to present to the owner, who will then make the final decision. You will find all properties that are available for these programs listed in the details section of the property listing.
How long does it take to Process an Application?
· We start processing your application upon receipt which can be delayed by Holidays and Weekends. Some of the items that may also delay the process are incomplete applications, delays in receiving Your previous Landlords verification of rental history, and delays in your response to questions we may pose to you via email. We appreciate your patience while we work hard to complete the process.
Is there an application fee?
· Yes, this covers the cost of credit and criminal reporting, employment verification, and rental history. It is $55.00 per person. Anyone over 18 who will be living in your home must fill out an application. Applicants applying individually will be linked if living in the same property.
Will I automatically be eliminated if I have past credit or criminal history?
· Absolutely not - the information is gathered and presented to the owner of your new home. The owner(s), may choose to accept your application, or present an alternative that may work for everyone. We do not necessarily discriminate based upon criminal history.
**Home Up Keep
MOST IMPORTANTLY!! We want to hear from you if there are any issues that require a qualified maintenance/repair person to come to your home. Some of the issues that can cause major damage, and headaches for you are:
Water leakage - under sinks, and toilets, and roofs
Heating, Air Conditioning and Hot Water Systems - If these are not functioning correctly please let us know immediately. However, please check with your utility companies first to make sure the problem is mechanical. If we send a repair person, but the system is functioning correctly, and the problem was with billing, we will charge you the cost of the trip and diagnosis.
The items Tenants are responsible for are listed below:
1. Keeping the home clean.
2. If there is a yard, and the tenant is responsible per the lease, you will be expected to keep the yard mowed, trimmed, and watered during the spring/summer/fall months. Leaves must be raked and removed. Branches/Limbs/Lawn Clippings must not be left anywhere in the yard. Bushes must be trimmed and planting beds maintained weed free.
3. Replacing all light bulbs.
4. Checking and Replacing Smoke Alarm Batteries.
5. Replacing Furnace filters at least every 3 months.
6. Insect and Rodent control.
7. Disposal of All Toxic Waste.
8. Removal of all Trash
9. Removal of all Holiday Decorations within 3 weeks of the calendar date of the Holiday.
10. Any Accidental Damage Caused by the Tenant.
We reserve the right to conduct interior inspections with written notice to the tenant. If we find tenant lease violations the tenant will be notified in writing of the needed corrections and another inspection will be scheduled. If it is determined during the second interior inspection that there continues to be lease violations, monthly inspections will be scheduled for a minimum of three additional months at a cost of $75.00 per inspection charged to the tenant. It is also possible the lease may be canceled. We are serious about the responsibility of keeping a safe, comfortable home for you and the owner.
