Is there an application process?
There is an application process. You can fill out an application online then print and mail or make arrangements to get to us. There is also a credit check, past rental verification and employment verification.
Do you accept pets?
Most of our properties do not accept pets and those that do have certain conditions. There is a pet fee. The amount will depend on the number, kind and size of pets. All pet-friendly communities will require a copy of your pet’s immunization records before acceptance of the pet.
What if I miss a scheduled appointment to view the unit?
While every effort is made to accommodate your schedule we still must re-arrange ours to accommodate you. Please arrive on time. Our policy is if you miss an appointment there's a 3-day wait (72 hours) before we can re-schedule. If something comes up on your end and you call us in time to prevent a wasted trip (usually 45 minutes to hour before) then no problem to re-schedule. It's rude and inconsiderate to make an appointment to meet someone then leave them waiting needlessly. Even if you show up late it still may not work to view the unit if the shower has another appointment right after yours or a tight schedule. Keep in mind GPS units are not always accurate. Please check our aerial view with each property for an exact location to avoid going to the wrong location.
Do you do short term leases?
The majority of our leases are for a minimum of 12 months. On occasion we can also handle short term leases for those who are buying or building a home thru a Gatewood Realty agent. Generally, these are a 3 month minimum and it depends on availability and other factors.
Do you accept section 8?
At this time we do not accept Section 8.
I plan to move 30 days from now, would you be able to hold the unit if I put down the deposit?
Our policy is to process the applications in the order we receive them unless we're asked to wait (if application is to be processed other than immediately then the "wait until" date needs to be written on application). Once an application is approved you would need to sign the lease and pay the required deposit. The maximum we can wait before rent begins is 3 days. If you want longer than that then your application can be "approved/suspended," Then at a future time when you are ready to precede just call us and let us know you're ready to sign the lease without delay. There is no guarantee the unit will still be available but if it is you can rent it. There is no first right of refusal. We are under no obligation to notify you when we accept another application and if we're processing an application that one takes precedence. It’s up to you to place yourself back in the process,
NOTE: We are unable to accept a deposit unless we have a written agreement specifying under what terms and circumstances we would keep it, you would loose it or have it applied to your lease.
Who do we make the rent payment check to?
Rent checks are always made payable to the owner. Not to the rental company or real estate company. Please check your lease for the owner’s name.
Do you sell homes or just rent property?
We work in conjunction with Gatewood Realty. The real estate agents handle real estate sales and are not involved with the rentals unless it’s their own or they are the property manager. Gatewood Realty is a full service real estate company that has various agents which specialize in the sale of real estate and can help you with any real estate need.
