​When you sign your lease, 你与我们的一位租赁代理人会面,检查租赁合同的所有部分,以确保每个人都知道他们在租赁合同下的责任.

How do I know if a property is still available?

If the property is listed on our website, it is still available. Since we receive applications 24 hours a day via fax and email, we never know when a new application may come in. When you send in your application, we will email or call you within one business day to let you know the status of your application. 如果另一个申请在你面前,你可以选择等待或收到已支付费用的退款. 一旦我们开始处理您的申请,您要么获得房产,要么被拒绝. If someone ahead of you is approved and takes the property, your application is still good for any other property we manage.

Can I see a property?

Just call our office or email us to set up a showing. We will gladly work around your schedule. Sorry, for the safety of our staff, no showings will be made after dark.

 

Do you take Section 8?

Yes, and we treat Section 8 applicants like anyone else. The applicant must still qualify under the guidelines outlined above.

​We will consider Section 8 and add it to income. 有些房产可能会要求共同签署人除了缺乏信用和租赁证明外,还需要有收入不足的资格.

How long will it take to process my application?

We process applications as quickly as possible. Often, we have to wait for return phone calls from landlords and employers.

​We must verify your employment, rental history, and credit. 我们需要您的房东提供最近两年的历史,这可能是您申请中最难核实的部分. We will call you if we are having trouble obtaining any information. If we cannot verify information quickly, we have to move on to another application. If we already are processing someone else’s application on the property you apply for, your application may have to wait for that application to be completed. 确保你的房东的名字是物业的所有者或mg冰球突破豪华版试玩公司. Providing daytime phone numbers can shorten the turnaround time when messages have to be left.

How do I apply for a rental?

每个18岁以上的人都需要一份申请,这些人将住在你希望出租的房产里. Click here to download the application. There is a $45 per person application fee to cover the cost of the background check. 当您住在我们的租赁房中时,您需要向股权集团支付(每一生只需要支付一次申请费). Only completed, signed, and fee paid applications will be processed.

重要的是,我们有完整和准确的信息,从你处理申请. 如果我们在第一次向您的现任/前任房东或现任/前任雇主询问后的一个工作日内未收到信息, it delays approval. 如果我们无法在申请后的一个工作日内核实您的租赁和就业证明,如果还有其他申请待处理,我们公司的政策是转移到下一个申请.

What are your qualifications to rent?

When you turn in an application, we will…

Call your previous landlord references: Be sure to provide the names and telephone numbers (home & 工作优先)至少过去两年的出租历史从个人与你无关.

Be sure to include your move-in and move-out dates and the exact apartment number. If you had a roommate on the lease contract, their name would be helpful as a point of reference, as well.

核实你的收入来源和水平:你的合法和可核实的月收入应该至少为2美元.5 to 3 times the rental amount. 如果您是自雇人士,请提供您最近的纳税申报表以及3个月的银行对账单. Please contact of your references so they know we will be calling. If your employer is a large company that does not provide verifications, please provide at least one month’s pay stubs.

为每个申请人提供信用报告:我们使用信用报告来告诉我们你是否有遵守合同协议和按时支付账单的历史. 如果您对以前的房东有开放的收款,您的申请将被自动拒绝. 如果你的信用评分较低(低于500),你可能需要支付更高的保证金或有一个共同签署人.

检查法庭是否有刑事和民事行为:我们会检查法庭记录,看看你是否有重罪或毒品(甚至轻罪)定罪. If there is a felony, drug conviction, or eviction within the past 5 years, the application will be automatically denied.

What if I need help to qualify? Will you allow me to have someone co-sign?

Some properties will accept a co-signer if you lack either credit or rental references. 如果是这种情况,我们将接受一个有足够的可核实收入的共同签署人,以符合他们的生活状况和他们共同签署的财产, and the co-signer must have a greater than 700 credit score. The co-signer must fully complete our application and pay the application fee, which is non-refundable.

Does The Equity Group allow pets?

Due to insurance costs and limitations, EGPM does not allow the following types of dogs in any of our properties: 1. Pit Bulls, 2. Rottweilers, 3. Chow Chows, 4. Doberman Pinchers, 5. German Shepherds, 6. American Stafforshire Terriers, 7. Wild dogs such as coyotes, wolves, and dingos, 8. Mastiffs, 9. Akita, 10. Bullmastiffs, 11. Presa Canario, 12. Malamutes, 13. Boxers, 14. Any dog that has any of the above breeds in their lineage.

​As a general rule, pets will not be allowed in multi-family dwellings. If the property allows a pet, 申请人须缴付额外的宠物按金,每月每只宠物须缴付25元的宠物费, due with that month’s rental payment.

​Pets must be spayed or neutered, and all pets must be properly vaccinated. 宠物主人必须防止动物造成损害或破坏,并以安全和健康的方式照顾动物. 《mg冰球突破豪华版试玩》中描述的mg冰球突破豪华版试玩性动物免收这些费用,但仍然必须按照上面列出的方式照顾.

Is the lease term flexible?

The length of a lease may vary. Discuss this question with a leasing agent.

What do I need to bring to the lease signing?

You will need to bring certified funds (bank check or money order) in the amount of the deposit. When you come to pick up keys on the day you are scheduled to move in, 您需要携带首月房租的证明资金(如果您在当月1号之后搬进来,则需要携带首月房租的比例资金)。. 我们还需要你的驾照或其他形式的身份证明的复印件,以便我们知道你是谁,你说你是谁!
