Security Deposit FAQ

What is required to hold a property for me? And how long can it be held?

You must complete an application, pay the application fee of $40.00 per adult, and pay the security deposit required for the property.  Upon application approval notification, the property may be held for you for up to ten (10) days.  You must then sign the lease and pay the first month’s rent in full. If you fail to sign the lease within ten (10) days, your deposit will be forfeited and the property returned to the rental market.

 

What happens if I change my mind about a property after I have been notified of my approval?

You will forfeit your deposit.  Upon receiving your notification of withdrawal, we will market the property as available for rent.

 

What happens if my application is not approved?

If we cannot approve your application, you will receive a full, immediate refund of your deposit.  The application fee cannot be returned as it is retained to cover the cost of completing the credit and criminal background check.

 

What could cause my application to be denied?

We cannot tell you if your application will be approved or declined based solely on your statement of your credit history.  We must run the full credit and criminal background check in order to make a determination.  We can, however, tell you that if you are currently in the process of filing bankruptcy, have been convicted of a violent crime or drug manufacturing offense,  or owe a previous or current landlord for unpaid rent or damages, you will be declined. If your total household income is not 3 x’s greater than the rent, you will be declined. If your bankruptcy has been completed or discharged, it will not automatically cause your application to be declined. *If you are listed on the national sex offender registry you will be declined.*

 

Do you accept credit or debit cards for payments?

All application fees and security deposits paid in our office are required to be in the form of cash, money order, or certified funds.  Personal checks are only accepted for monthly rental payments made before the rent is due and up to the 5th day of the month in which payment is due.  After such time, payments must be made in the form of cash, money order, certified funds, or online by credit card.
