Property Management Arizona

*Please note that each of our properties is owned by an investor. Due to this fact, each individual property might have its own sub-set of rules and policies as set by the owner.*

Are pets allowed?

Depends on the property. In the properties where they are allowed, they are approved on a case-by-case basis. We will require a deposit for your pet. The amount depends on the age of the pet and whether or not we can obtain a good reference for your pet from your previous landlord or your vet. The minimum deposit is $400 per dog and $250 per cat. Other types of animals will be approved on a case-by-case basis.

How much is the security deposit?

Our general rule of thumb is that the security deposit is $100 less than one monthâ??s rent. We reserve the right to increase the security deposit at the ownerâ??s request or in the event that there is little to no previous rental history.

What do I have to do to get approved?

We do 5 checks: credit, check writing, employment/income, criminal, and rental history. Poor credit is ok, but we cannot work with open bankruptcy. We can and have worked with those with criminal convictions, but we cannot rent to sexual offenders or those with extreme violent crimes on their record.

Rental history is the most important thing we look at. We will not be able to work with you if you have had an eviction within the past 2 years. You must be able to show two solid years of good rental history wherein you have paid rent on time with no bounced checks. We must have proof in writing from your previous landlord that you have taken care of the property and have left it with no more damage than normal wear and tear. To do this check, we will need you to provide us with the names and contact information of your landlords from the previous 2 years.

How much will it cost to move in?

We require first month rent + the security deposit + pet deposits (if any) to move in. This amount may change due to a move-in special offered by the owner.

Do you work with Section 8?

This depends entirely on the property and the owner's preferences.

How long is the lease?

Most of our leases are for 1 year. Any shorter is at the discretion of the owner. We can very rarely do month-to-month leases, but usually the shortest period we will do is 3 months. The rent rates posted on our website reflect a one year lease period. If you would like to do a shorter lease, the rent will increase. Please contact us if youâ??d like to do a shortened lease and we will be able to give you the details for individual properties.

What if I have to break my lease?

If you must break your lease then your first and best option is to find someone to move into the property and take over your contract. New residents are subject to our approval process, but if you find someone that we approve, you will be released from your contract with no further penalties or obligations.

Option number two is to pay the termination fee. Each lease has an early termination fee built into it that is equal to 2 �½ monthâ??s rent. Paying the termination fee will release you from further penalties and obligations.

Your third option is to continue to pay rent on the property until we find a new resident to take your place. Once the property is re-rented, you will be released from your contract and any further penalties and obligations.

Do you have anything that is furnished?

Not at this time.

What utilities am I responsible for?

All residents are responsible for all of their own utilities. We will provide you with the contact information for the companies that service your property and you have 48 hours after signing your lease to transfer the utilities into your name. Make sure to ask for your new account number when you call to set up service as we require you to call us at the end of that 48 hour period to give us your account number as proof that you have transferred service.

Am I responsible for HOA fees and dues?

The owner of your property is responsible for paying all regular HOA dues. However, any fines incurred while you live there due to noncompliance with the HOA rules and regulations will be charged back to you. If your property has an HOA, you will be provided with a copy of the CC&Rs when you move in and you must abide by them.

Can I make alterations to the property?

Depends on the alteration. Before you move in we do a very thorough inspection that includes photographs of the property. When you move out, you must return the property to us in the same condition that we gave it to you. If you paint your walls purple during your tenancy, they must be repainted the original color before you move out. If you hang photographs and poke holes in the walls, you must fill and paint these holes before you move out. Any alterations you make to the property must be easily reversed and it is your responsibility to make sure the property looks the same when you move out as when you moved in. 

What forms of payment do you accept?

We accept personal checks, money orders, and cashiers checks. If at anytime you pay with a personal check and it gets returned to us due to non-sufficient funds, any and all subsequent rent payments must be made in certified funds.

What are your late fees?

We start charging late fees on the 2nd of the month. Most leases call for a $50 flat fee.  Some leases charge  a % of rent on the 2nd and a per day fee thereafter.  Either way, late fees accrue very quickly, so we encourage you to pay on time or early each month.
