Is it one lease or separate leases for each room?2017-05-02T17:51:33+00:00

Our leases are joint and severally liable, meaning that all parties named on the Lease are equally responsible for all terms of the Lease for that property. In rare cases, we do rent properties with separate leases for each room, however, this is made clear in the listing for the property.

Can I have pets? Can I get one in the middle of my lease?2017-05-02T18:24:02+00:00

We manage properties for many different property owners, with different requirements for their properties. Because every one of our properties is unique, there is no uniform pet policy. Many owners do allow one small dog, with references. If you require a pet friendly property, please inquire about this at your initial point of contact with the account manager for that property. 

Current tenants, please contact your account manager to inquire about adding a pet to the Lease for your property.

What is a cosigner? Will they be on my lease?2017-05-02T18:25:29+00:00

A cosigner, or guarantor,  guarantees that if the tenant cannot complete the rent payment that he or she will be financially responsible for that amount. The cosigner will be named on the lease but is not permitted to live on the property.  

Do I need to provide proof of income?2017-05-02T18:26:58+00:00

We require all prospective tenants to provide some type of proof of income in order to be considered for a property. Proof of income can be provided in the form of your last three paycheck stubs, financial aid package letter, employment letter, tax returns, etc.

Will the cosigner have any application fees?2018-01-15T23:50:14+00:00

We require all applicants, including cosigners, to pay an application fee due to the costs we incur.

Is there an application fee? Is it per person?2018-01-15T23:50:39+00:00

We require each applicant to pay an application fee of $45.00. All individuals applying for a property will each need to submit their own application.

How do I submit a rental application?2019-07-22T23:16:00+00:00

If there is a property you are interested in, you can apply online. Simply find the property on our Listings page and click Apply Now. There is a $45.00 application fee and each applicant must submit their own application.

We will also require a holding deposit of $250.00 prior to processing your application that will be applied towards your security deposit.  If for some reason your application is not accepted, the $250 holding deposit will be returned. 

Please contact the account manager for the property with questions.

What is the difference between a holding deposit and a security deposit?2017-05-10T20:07:50+00:00

A holding deposit shows that a prospect is interested in, and would like to be considered for, a property. While submitting a holding deposit does not guarantee the property to the prospect, it demonstrates that the prospect would like to move forward in the application process. Generally, Account Managers will not begin to process a prospect’s application until he or she has received their holding deposit.

How much is the holding deposit?2017-05-10T14:13:02+00:00

We require a standard holding deposit in the amount of $250 in order to move forward with processing applications for a property. If you are not approved for a property, the holding deposit will be returned to you.

In the event that we receive multiple holding deposits for the same property, all applications are processed and presented to the owner for a final decision. If you are not selected, the holding deposit will be returned to you. If you are selected and a Lease has been signed, the holding deposit will be applied to the security deposit.

In the event that you are approved and a Lease is written and sent to you to sign, but you back out, the holding deposit will not be refunded.

Holding deposits must be in the form of a cashier’s check, money order, or personal check. We do not accept cash.

If I cannot go on a tour, can my friend go on my behalf?2017-05-10T13:22:45+00:00

It is preferable that each prospective tenant attend his or her leasing appointment. We are happy to accommodate this option if you are not in the area, but we ask that you communicate this with the Account Manager in advance.

How do I pay for PG&E?2017-05-10T20:12:48+00:00

Tenants will need to setup an account in their own name through PG&E and payments will be made directly to PG&E.

What utilities are included in my rent?2017-05-10T20:18:38+00:00

If any utilities are included in your rent, it will be made clear on page 2 of your Lease under item 9. Typically, utilities are not included and WSG (water, sewage, and garbage) will be charged separately. At the end of each month, a PDF of the bill, as well as the current monthly charges, will be posted the tenant’s ledger which can be viewed through his or her online portal.

Please note that PG&E will need to be set up in your own name and paid directly to PG&E.

When should I expect to get my security deposit back?2017-05-10T20:22:15+00:00

The Security Deposit will be returned within 21 days after the Lease ends.

Can I sign up for a email list notifying me of available rentals?2018-04-17T19:55:46+00:00

Yes! You can add yourself to our weekly list-serve email here.

What is the application process?2019-07-22T23:17:59+00:00

In order to be considered for a property, we require each adult prospect to fill out an online application. There is a non-refundable application fee of $45.00 per person. Simply find the property you are interested in, schedule a tour with an account manager, and apply within the listing for the property. View all of our Listings here.

We will also require a holding deposit of $250.00, proof of income and a rental reference, in addition to the online application. Once we have received these, your application will be processed and you will be informed by the Account Manager for the property you are applying for whether or not you have been approved for the property. Once approved, a Lease will be written and sent to you electronically for signature. Once the lease has been signed, the holding deposit will be assigned toward the total Security Deposit for the property.

If for some reason your application is not accepted, then the holding deposit will be returned.
