Tenant FAQs
Answers to your frequently asked questions
-
Can you hold a place before I apply?
Properties are typically rented on a first-come, first-served basis once a completed application and required fees are submitted. To protect your chances and move quickly in the Orlando and Central Florida rental market, we recommend applying as soon as you’re ready—our team reviews applications promptly to secure rentals for qualified applicants. -
Do I pay first month’s rent and last month’s rent with my security deposit?
Move-in costs vary by property. Most rentals require first month’s rent and a security deposit; some listings also require last month’s rent. Check the specific listing or speak with management for a clear breakdown of move-in funds and transparent explanations of any additional fees. -
How old do you have to be to apply?
Applicants must be of legal age to sign a lease, which is typically 18 years or older. Minors cannot enter binding lease agreements without a qualified cosigner or guarantor. -
Is the deposit refundable?
Security deposits are generally refundable if the lease terms are met and there is no damage beyond normal wear and tear. Deductions may be taken for unpaid rent, repairs for tenant-caused damage, or required cleaning. Final accounting and any refund are processed according to the lease and Florida law. -
Who needs a cosigner?
A cosigner may be required when an applicant doesn’t meet income, credit, or rental history standards. Cosigners must meet our financial criteria and sign a guarantor agreement to be responsible for lease obligations if the tenant cannot pay. -
You have a property I want to rent. How do I apply?
Applications can be submitted online through the tenant portal or in person. We require a completed application, application fee, government ID, proof of income, and rental references or history. Applying early with complete documentation helps speed approval in the competitive Central Florida market. -
How do I pay rent?
Rent payments are accepted through the tenant portal for convenience and transparency, and many tenants use automatic bank transfer. Depending on the property, check or money order may also be accepted. We encourage online payments for faster posting and easier record-keeping. -
I want to get a pet. What should I do?
Review your lease and contact management before bringing a pet. Some properties allow pets with prior approval and may require a pet deposit, monthly pet rent, or breed/size restrictions. Getting approval in advance helps avoid lease violations and ensures proper documentation. -
I want to move out, but my roommate wants to stay. What should I do?
Leases typically make all listed tenants jointly responsible for the full term. If one tenant wishes to remain, that person must qualify individually or a replacement tenant approved by management must sign a new lease or an approved lease amendment to release the departing roommate from obligations. -
My lease expiration is coming, and I want to move out. What should I do?
Check your lease for the required written notice period (commonly 30–60 days) and submit your intent to vacate in writing by the deadline. Coordinate move-out details, return keys, complete the move-out checklist, and schedule an inspection. We’ll provide final accounting and process any refundable deposit per lease terms. -
Who is responsible for paying for repairs & maintenance requests?
Our property management team coordinates routine maintenance and handles repairs to protect owner assets and tenant habitability. Tenants are responsible for damage caused by negligence or misuse. Please submit maintenance requests through the tenant portal so work is tracked, prioritized, and resolved quickly.
