Before you begin:
The application process is designed for you to apply once you have viewed any property of interest.
E.G:
Step 1 View property (by scheduling a showing through the proper channels)
Step 2 Decide you want to move forward (if not go back to step 1)
Step 3 Apply for a property.
If you apply prior to viewing any property of interest and are approved.
The application process will continue as if the property was ready.
The difference is that Rent will not be due until the property is ready and you will have to sign a “Site Unseen” addendum. If you follow the application process as it should be and you are approved you will have to come to the office, sign the lease, pay the deposit, rent, and fees, and provide proof of transfer of utilities before we can give you the keys to the property.
