Renting - Frequently Asked Questions
I am facing foreclosure and have to move. Would you rent to someone in my situation?
The short answer is... It depends. If you are wondering if a foreclosure alone would stop us from renting to you then the answer is no. We will look at your current situation just like we would anyone else in qualifying you as a tenant. view our "Qualifications to Rent" page. We rent to responsible, working individuals, couples and families that will take care of the property entrusted to them and that can afford the rental payment. We are not as concerned about prior difficulties as we are about present performance and the ability to perform in the future.
The good news for you if you truly are facing foreclosure is that we may be able to help you avoid it. Please call us TODAY to discuss your situation. The clock is ticking!
How do I arrange to view a property?
We will be able to meet you at the property by setting a time that works for both of us. You can set an appointment by calling the office at 801-255-4040.
What is your policy regarding pets?
We are open to accepting pets in most of the properties that we manage because we realize they are vital members of your family. However, you need to inquire if any special conditions exist for the property that you are applying for. As a general rule you can expect;
Additional $30 in rent due for pet per month
Additional $500 per pet ($300 pet deposit + $200 non-refundable pet fee)
Each pet required to have it's own Pet Lease
Policy applies to both indoor and outdoor pets
Tenants must have signed Pet Lease in place before acquiring pet or Tenants will be charged $100 per month retroactive to the beginning of Tenant's Lease
Tenants are required to have a valid Renters Insurance policy prior to having a dog at the property
Fish, hamsters, gerbils and other similar type small caged animals exempt from this policy
We cannot list every kind of pet you may have, when in question it is best to ask
My Credit is "not so good", can you still work with me?
We work with all kinds of credit situations. Our goal really is to give you a "Nu-Start". If you have had credit problems in the past due to:
Bankruptcy
Divorce
Foreclosure
Medical bills
Loss of job
etc...
We can usually still help you get into a nice property. But if you show a current problem of not being able to pay even simple bills like your utilities, then you will need to get things under control before we can help you. The last thing that we want to do is put someone in a house that they can't afford and make their situation worse. We will not intentionally set someone up to fail.
May I submit my own credit report?
You are welcome to include a copy of any credit reports, if you choose. However, we will still run our own credit check. This is because different credit reports include different information, and often, information important in our application process is not included in other credit check reports.
what is your Late Payment Policy?
All payments received after the 1st of the month are considered late.
There will be a $60 late charge for any rent payment received after the 1st.
There is an additional $5 per day inclusive of the 1st until rent is paid in full.
All monies received after the 1st will be applied to late fees first and then to rent.
If we have to post a 3-day notice there will be an additional $35 charge.
If you mail your check to the office, please allow adequate delivery time. If it is received in our office after the first it will be considered late. (If needed, you can postdate your check and we will not deposit it until the 1st.)
If the 1st of any month falls on a Saturday or Sunday, payment must be received in our office the Friday before the 1st.
