FAQ APPLICATION


   
1.  How do I get more information or schedule a viewing about a rental property that I saw on your website, advertisement in the newspaper or other internet site?
Please call our office at (312) 829-2273 or email us and we will be glad to assist you further.

2.  What are your qualifications to rent?
We require a good rental reference from your landlord. In most cases we prefer your gross monthly income to be three times the actual rent and a credit score of 620 or above. We do accept Co-Signers or Guarantors on many of our properties. For applicants requiring Section 8 or applicants with poor credit, we will consider the situation on a case-by-case basis, depending upon each property.

3.  Do you allow pets?
Each available property is different on whether pets are allowed or not. Pets may be allowed in some properties with an additional pet deposit and simply some properties do not allow pets at all. Depending on what type of pet and how many pets, a typical pet deposit may range from $250 to $500 per pet.
 
4.  How much is the security deposit?
Most available properties require a minimum security deposit equal to 1 months rent. Some properties are available with a move-in fee of $350 and no security deposit.

5.  How do I get an application or apply?
If you didn’t receive an application during the showing of the property, we can fax or email you an application. Or simply download our application from our website under "APPLICATION."

6.  Is there an application fee?
Yes, the application fee is $35 per person, submitted at the time of the application.

7.  How long is the application process?
The application process takes approximately 1 to 5 business days. The time frame depends on the number of applications we received, the response time to our verification requests and timely submission of documents from the applicant. Therefore, approval times may vary.

8.  How can I improve my chances in being approved?
There are several ways to help the approval of your application. First, fully complete the application. Second, provide documentation to assist in processing your application. This documentation may include pay stubs, recent bank statements, W-2 forms, a reference letter from your current landlord, plus any papers showing income from social security, child support, alimony or disability. And if applicable, improve your chances with a completed application from a co-signer or guarantor.

9.  What happens once I am approved?
After being notified that you have been approved for the property, you will be required to submit the security deposit or the move-in fee to our office within 24 hours. Partial security deposit payments are not accepted. A few days thereafter, your new Lease Agreement will be ready for you to come in and sign. From there we will coordinate with you the details of your move-in date, utilities, procedures, policies and the first month’s rent.

10.  Is my approval good for other properties also?
Yes! Once you have been approved by our office, you may often select from other available properties we have. Your approval is good for up to 90 Days!

11.  How long is the Lease?
Most properties require a one year lease.
