This is how Red Apple does it...other offices may be different!

( A DEPOSIT IS ALWAYS REQUIRED ONCE APPROVED! )

EVERY TENANT IS REQUIRED TO HAVE RENTER'S INSURANCE.
Click on the vacancies tab and scroll to the property you have toured in person.
Our app fees are $40 per adult. (Even if you are married.) (Adult = 18 and over)
The tenant provides the information that gathers any background, credit or criminal information.
If you enter your social or birthday incorrectly, you'll have to re-apply (& re-pay)
Info typically goes back 10 years.
500 minimum required on credit score.
No utility bills allowed in collections for approval (water, gas, electric, cell phone bill)
Small dogs are allowed on most properties; Please ask about cats.
$350 non refundable animal fee per animal. Animals include ALL animals, not just dogs and cats (snakes, fish, guinea pigs, birds, puppies, hamsters, lizards, etc.)
No aggressive breed dogs allowed.
ONCE APPROVED, YOUR DEPOSIT IS DUE WITHIN 24 HOURS!
Deposits are the same as your rent amount.
Renters insurance is required by all; if an animal of any kind is on the property, that animal must be listed on policy.
Timely payments and slow pays are reported through Experian monthly.
Paying on time can help build credit; paying late can harm credit.

Some things to remember about renting:

Rent is always due on the 1st, with a grace period through the 3rd.

Late fees begin at midnight on the 3rd.

Late fees are 5% of your rent amount on day 4, then half that amount every day thereafter.

Don't be late.

Once you sign the lease, you are officially a tenant for the term agreed to in your lease.

Welcome home!

If life happens and you need to move out early, we have a plan in place which is agreed to as part of your lease.

The document covering that plan is called "Moving out Early?")

All leases are subject to a lease-break fee if you break your lease because of any life situation.

(That fee is typically half of your deposit amount)

Red Apple, REALTORS has a "90 day Inspection" and a "Lease Renewal Inspection" plan in place.

If you have pets, we may do a walk through after 90 days of occupancy; If you agree to renew your lease with us, we will DEFINITELY do a walk through before we send your lease renewal document.

Things to prepare for upon move out:

A 30 day notice is required

Carpets are to be PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED upon move-out

(a LEGITIMATE INVOICE is TO BE PROVIDED FROM A REAL CARPET CLEANING CO otherwise the carpet cleaning will be hired out and deducted from your deposit)

You will receive a "Possible Deductions" page that will be a good cleaning guide for you as you clean.

You are to exit by 5pm on your last day of the lease.

(All of this info is in your lease!)
