The purpose of this video is to save you and us TIME. You will be able to assess if this community is right for you. It will also tell you what you should do next if you think this community fits your needs. CLICK HERE to watch the 3.5 minute video. We look forward to hearing back from you afterwards.

We are looking for the best residents therefore we do not select residents on a "first-come, first-served" basis.

We give all an equal opportunity to apply.

MOVE IN FUNDS

• We require an amount equal to twice the first month's rent in certified funds to move in. This must be verifiable. 

SMOKING

• NO SMOKING or VAPING allowed in the property.

PET POLICY

•  We require all applicants to register at Pet Screening,  Inc., a third-party pet screening and assistance animal validation  provider. There is no charge unless you have a pet. There is a small  charge to register each pet. Use this link to register:  https://jprealestategroupllc.petscreening.com 
• NOTE:   We do not accept vicious or attack-trained dogs and we have a  maximum of 2 pets. Dogs and cats should be neutered or spayed. No snakes  or other reptiles and no birds!  
•  Applicants who do not have pets will be asked to affirm that they understand our pet policies. 
•  Applicants with pets will provide profiles of their pets, which we use  to qualify them for occupancy. The pets’ age, breed, sex, current  licensing, shots and photos will be a part of each pet’s profile.  Applicants will have access to these profiles for one year (unless  renewed) and can share this centralized pet information with whomever  they wish, including veterinarians, pet groomers, dog walkers, pet  friendly hotels, etc. 
• We will charge both a PET FEE (non-refundable one time fee per pet) and a monthly PET RENT per pet.
•  Applicants requesting a special accommodation for an assistance animal  will be asked to substantiate their need for the animal. We do not  accept documentation from online companies that simply charge a fee to  issue paperwork, but do not actually evaluate the need for an emotional  support animal. Note: It is against the law to intentionally  misrepresent a need for an assistance animal and you may be prosecuted for such  misrepresentation. 

We will pull a credit and background reports (which include eviction and bankruptcy  reports, SSN verification, employer verification, sex offender,  criminal, terrorist watch list reports and FICO score) on every  applicant. We will also contact your present and past landlords, as well  as current and past employers to verify the information provided on  your application.  

Our company believes that our tenants are our greatest assets.  We want to serve you the best we can. We are all about long term relationships with our residents/tenants.

IF ACCEPTED FOR OCCUPANCY, OUR COMPANY EXPECTS YOU TO  MAINTAIN THE HOUSE AND GROUNDS AND TAKE CARE OF THE MINOR MAINTENANCE  AND EXPENSE THAT COMES FROM LIVING IN A HOUSE/ TINY HOME. IF WHAT WE OFFER APPEALS  TO YOU AND YOU ARE WILLING AND ABLE TO TAKE ON THIS RESPONSIBILITY (AND  YOU MEET OUR QUALIFYING CRITERIA LISTED ABOVE), THEN WE INVITE YOU TO  APPLY TO RENT THIS PROPERTY.
