We value our renters and we treat them the same way we would want to be treated… fairly and with respect. When you rent a home from us we clearly explain our expectations to you up-front. We want to take care of repairs quickly and work with you so you have a very good rental experience.
We prefer online rent payments, but also accept cashiers checks and money orders.

Frequently Asked Questions

A: We charge just $50/adult.
Q: How long will you hold a unit once I am approved?
A: 14 days, provided you first pay ½ the deposit.
Q: What about bad credit?
A: We DO NOT base our decision only on your credit score, but a credit score under 600 will be a problem unless there was a plausible extenuating circumstance acceptable to us.
Q: Do you accept criminal history?
A: Sometimes, on a case by case basis, provided the offense was nothing too horrible and not too recent. Call us to discuss your situation. We will listen to you without judgment.

A: Yes, provided the property meets all of our application approval criteria. We screen everyone the same. You must have a history of taking care of your property AND paying rent on time. We are looking for responsible tenants.
Q: Do you take payments on the Security Deposit?

The additional security deposit required is $300 – $500 per pet, depending on its size and is refundable provided you leave the home in its original condition. Certain breeds may not be allowed. Call to discuss your pet with us.
