RENTING A HOME
Q&A - Perspective Tenants
Q. What are the important criteria used to
qualify for renting a home?
A. Since we manage homes for hundreds
of different homeowners, each homeowner may have a somewhat different
standard for tenant selection. Generally, owners consider the following
factors:
-
Satisfactory credit history
-
Monthly income about two and a half times
the monthly rental amount
-
No outstanding judgments
-
No past rental evictions
-
Established history of credit since a past
bankruptcy
-
Employment verification
-
Present and former landlord references
-
All properties are offered subject to the
Federal Fair Housing Act which makes it illegal to advertise
any preference, limitation, or discrimination based on race,
color, religion, sex, country of national origin, handicap, or
familial status.
Q. How much does it cost to use our services?
A. There is no charge for our leasing
staff to help you to find a home. If you decide to submit an application
to rent one of our properties, there is a $40 charge for the credit
and application background check.
Q. How much does it cost to move into a rental home?
A. A security deposit equal to one month’s
rent, the prorated rent for the time in the property including the sales tax
if applicable, a one time management fee of $150 and, if applicable, a pet deposit.

Q. The home is available for rent now but we will not be
able to rent for three months. Will the owner hold the home until we need it
if we pay a deposit?
A. No, not with just a deposit. Owners may be
willing to hold a home for about 3 to 4 weeks at maximum. call for daily updates
on properties, for local calls 480-834-9200 and for out of state call toll free
1-877-834-9200
Q. We will not be moving for a few months, so how can I
learn what homes will be available in the future?
A. Tenants are required to give a 30-day notice
of their intentions to move, so we seldom know beyond 30 days which specific
homes are going to be available for rent. Since we manage hundreds of homes,
there are usually several choices of rental properties available. These homes
are updated on our website on a weekly basis, so you may want to bookmark our
site and visit often as the time gets closer for you to select a rental home.
Q. There are some homes that I want to see, how do I arrange
to see them?
A. Many homes are occupied and appointments
will be needed to see the inside of the property. You may drive by the property
however, the current occupant is advised not to allow any prospective tenant
access to their home without an appointment being made by our leasing staff.
Our leasing staff is available 6 days a week to accommodate you. |
