FAQ for Renters

What is the residency application procedure?
Each adult over 18 years of age must submit an application which includes: paying the non-refundable application fee of $35.00, providing your landlords contact information and providing proof of income (current paystubs/awards letters ((child support, disability, soc. security, foodstamps, etc.)). All paperwork and application fees must be paid/completed and signed before we can start the application process. Modern Property Groups LLC runs a credit, criminal, and eviction verification per applicant that will be responsible for the lease.

What happens once you are approved?
You will be contacted to schedule a lease signing and move-in date appointment. The home/apartment will not be held for any applicant until a lease is signed and a deposit down payment is made. A home/apartment will typically not be held for more than 14 days.

What is the amount of the security deposit and when is it due?
The security deposit is typically equal to 1 month’s rent and is due in full by your move-in date for a single family home. The amount of security deposit may vary based upon your credit and/or renting history. Please contact the property manager for specific security deposit details if your are interested in one of our homes or apartment communities.

Who is responsible for maintenance of the property?
Your lease will show what maintenance is your responsibility, so please refer to your signed lease agreement.

What is the lease term?
Most of our rentals require a 1 year lease. Some homes/apartment communities may accept short-term leases so please call today to inquire.

What is the pet policy?
Some of our rentals allow pets. If pets are allowed in a particular property, a pet fee will need to be paid. The pet fee is $250 per pet for most of our rentals but can be higher depending on the property selected.

When do my payments begin?
Rent is due the day you take possession of the property. After your move-in date, rent is due on the 1st of every month unless specified differently in your lease agreement. A pro rated rent amount is calculated if you move in the middle of the month.

Are you required to hold renter’s insurance?
Yes, renters insurance is required.

When can you move into your new home?
You are able to move your belongings in when: All rent, security deposit, fees are paid in full with cash, money order or cashiers check, and all lease documents are signed. You must contact the property manager to schedule a date and time for you to obtain your keys.

Testimonials

Working with Don Seitz during the purchase of my new home was great. Don was very proactive and efficient throughout the entire process of purchase. I would recommend Don to anyone trying to sell and or purchasing a new home if you are looking for someone that will work hard for you the entire time.
