Tenant FAQ

Answers to your common questions

What should we do when we find a property we like?
If possible prospective residents can drive by and preview the exterior of the property and neighborhood. We do understand this is not always possible. Professional photographs are available on our website for viewing. Contact the leasing agent or property manager at 928-445-8750 to schedule an appointment to view the interior of the property. If the property is still occupied, we do request that you do not disturb the tenants.

Once we’ve seen the property, what is the next step?

Applications must be submitted to the office. These are available online and the information can be obtained at the showing appointment. The leasing agent will provide you with the necessary link to apply. All applicants 18 and over must complete their own application. The $40 application fee, a copy of a photo ID and income verification must accompany the application. All applicants must also complete the appropriate profile on PetScreening.com, no pet/animal, support animal or household pet.


How much are the required deposits?
Security deposits are equal to one month’s rent and are refundable.  An additional security deposit equal to one half of one month’s rent is required for approved pets and is also refundable.  In addition, a non-refundable carpet cleaning/black light fee is collected and can range from $100 to $250, based on the size of the unit.  A non-refundable $100 administrative fee is also collected.

How is my application processed?

A screening company will complete a credit check, legal background and eviction search.  In addition, current and prior landlords will be contacted.  Employment may be verified, if necessary.


Are application fees refundable?

The application fee is non-refundable.


What if more than one person applies for the same property?
Multiple applications may be accepted on properties.  The applicant that scheduled their appointment first has priority.

What happens after our application is approved?
Once you have received your approval letter, deposit/fee monies must be paid within two (2) business days with certified funds, either cashier's check, money order or through the tenant portal.

What if I change my mind after the deposit/fees has been paid?
If you change your mind once the deposit/fees have been paid, you will forfeit one half (1/2) of the security deposit and the $100 non-refundable administrative fee.  The carpet cleaning/black light fee will be refunded and, if an additional security deposit was paid for a pet, this will be refunded as well.

What do I need to do before moving in?
The Lease-Rental Agreement will need to be signed by all Lessees, including the cosigner if applicable.  Deposit/fees and rent monies must be paid in full.  All utilities must be transferred into the tenant’s name and proof of transfer is required.  All items must be completed before keys can be released.

1. Misrepresentation of information on the application, 2. Previous landlord report of non-compliance activity including, but not limited to,
