Do you allow pets?

Pets are generally allowed, but it does depend upon the specifics of the individual house. Usually if the house or duplex is equipped with a fence, we will allow a dog. Pets must be current on shots, prevented from having unwanted litters of offspring, and not allowed to harm the unit. Flea control products must be used. All male cats must be neutered.

Pet fees and deposits are calculated as follows:
Single Cat: Non-refundable pet fee of $75 and an additional (refundable) $125 deposit.

Single or multiple dog, multiple cats, or combination: Non-refundable pet fee of $150 and an additional (refundable) $300 deposit.

Fish tanks: Refundable deposit of $350.

All pet deposits and fees may be paid out over the life of the lease.

What if my credit is marginal?

If you have good rental history and meet the employment qualifications, but your credit is ‘marginal’, applicants are offered the unit with the following deposit:

Security Deposit = Rent x 1.5
