How Long Does It Take To Process An Application? Expand
It will take approximately two weeks to process an application. Applications for both rental units and homeowners will have three main areas reviewed; credit history, criminal background and current income.
Is There An Application Fee? Expand
Yes, there is a $50 application fee per adult. All adults are required to go on the lease and become a lease holder. There are a few instances where an adult may be exempt from becoming a lease holder. If an adult is exempt, there will be a $35 fee to run a back ground check before allowing the adult to become an occupant. Payment will only be accepted in the form of a money order, debit or credit card.
An initial rental unit lease will be for 12 months, then it will drop to a month to month lease. When on a month to month lease, the lease holder(s) or the land lord may terminate with a 60 day written notice. A notice always starts on the 1st of the following month. A homeowner lease is always a five year lease and will never become a month to month or 12 month lease.
Are There Any Income Requirements? Expand
Yes, there are income requirements. Established limits must equal 3 times the amount of the yearly rent, based on which unit being applied for. Only income from what we deem as a stable source will be counted. Not all sources qualify as stable income, e.g. under-the-table funds, unemployment checks or Section 8 vouchers.
Yes, in most cases. However, pets are permitted at the sole discretion of the Property Manager. Established guidelines have been set at one pet per rental and up to two pets for a homeowner. There are times when a renter may, with approval, have two pets. All renters, not homeowners, must pay an additional pet security deposit equal to one month’s rent. Rottweiler, pit bull breeds, or the aforementioned dogs’ respective mixes, are not allowed in this private community.
Is There A Waiting List? Expand
