When roommates want to rent a home, each roommate is equally responsible for the rent. If one roommate cannot pay his or her portion of the rent, the other roommates are responsible for the whole amount.

Typically, one month’s rent and the security deposit are due in full regardless of the actual move-in date. Only certified funds, in the form of a cashier’s check, money order, or certified check, will be acceptable forms of payment. The amount of the security deposit varies depending on the property, and usually runs anywhere from 75% to 100% of the monthly rent. If you have one or more pets, there will be a pet deposit, which can range from $300 to one month’s rent per pet, of which 50% is nonrefundable, depending on the type, size, and number of pets.

We check your income, credit, and criminal background. In addition, we will assess your rental history. These policies are outlined in further detail above.

Yes. Keys are coded and secured in a locking key cabinet and are only released to residents after obtaining appropriate identification. We require your written authorization to release a key to someone not on your lease agreement. We would then require this person to provide appropriate identification. Locks are re-keyed after every move-out, and we do not use master keys.

We strongly urge you to purchase renter’s insurance because it not only provides coverage for your own personal property, but also offers protection if you are liable for damage to another’s property. Your personal property is not covered by our insurance policy.

We will be contacting you at least 45 days in advance of the end of your lease. However, if you would prefer to start the process sooner, please contact us at (512) 282-7393. The process is simple and only requires a lease extension agreement. Sometimes there is a rent increase to keep rents in line with the market, but we value our good residents, so this increase is rarely more than $25 to $50 per month.

Please contact us as soon as you know that you will be leaving at (512) 282-7393. If you intend to vacate the property at the end of your lease, this intention must be delivered in writing to our office at least 60 days before the end of the lease.

Upon return of the keys to the home, we will assess the condition of the property. Any repairs needed beyond normal wear and tear will be deducted from your deposit. A deposit disposition will be mailed to you within 30 days upon surrender of the property. If you have a pet deposit, this is treated the same as the security deposit. Checks will be delivered to the last known address. Please update your current address by sending us an email.
