- Some properties may have more stringent qualifying requirements – please call our office if you have a concern about something in your credit or rental history.
- Some properties prohibit more than two unrelated adults (roommates) – please call our office if this is a concern in your situation.
- All new leases will be assessed an administrative processing fee of $100 to help defray the costs in preparing and executing the necessary lease documents.

Not all properties are animal-friendly. Of the properties that permit animals, some allow two animals and others are limited to only one animal. Additionally, weight limits apply; generally a single-family home accepts animals up to 75 lb, a duplex/triplex with a yard accepts animals up to 40 lb, and apartments, condos, townhomes and properties with little or no yard area accept animals up to 25 lb. Weight limits and number of animals permitted is at the discretion of the property owner, therefore the information provided here is a rule of thumb only.
