All of our properties are first come, first served for applicants. We will process COMPLETED applications in the order they are received. You must have an approved application (which includes a completed reference) and completed background and credit check to sign a lease. We do not "hold" any properties.

Rent is due on the 1st of every month. Rent is considered late if not received on the 5th of the month. Any rents paid after the 5th of the month are subject to a $50 late fee.

DO YOU ACCEPT PETS?

Each one of our owners will let us know whether or not they are willing to accept a pet in their property or not. We will typically include this information in the advertisement. If you are not sure if your pet will be accepted, you can call to check and confirm with us before submitting an application.
If pets are allowed at the property you are renting, there will be a pet fee involved which will be included in the advertisement.
