Rental Application Process                        --NO PETS ALLOWED--

You will need the following items to apply to rent a home or an apartment:

1. Picture Identification

2. Social Security Card

3. $50 per person 

4. Proof of Income - Pay Check Stub, Copy of Pay Check, Award Letter, etc.

Turman Realty Co. Inc. follows all Fair Housing Standards and is open to renting to all people who demonstrate a history of adequate income ( at least 3 times the amount of the rent) and good bill payment history.  We also consider the size of the unit and the number of proposed occupants as well as the accuracy of the information provided on the application.  In most cases where credit history is marginal we may ask for a rent reference, a double security deposit, or both.  We will run a credit check based on the information provided on the application before making a determination.  Turman Realty Co. Inc. uses the credit report to learn the payment patterns of applicants.  We are committed to providing a respectful and positive experience for all applicants. As such, we reserve the right to decline applications in instances where professional and courteous behavior is not maintained throughout the application process.  As part of our application process, we conduct a review of each applicant's criminal history. All records are evaluated on a case-by-case basis, considering the nature, severity, and date of the offense as well as its relevance to the safety and well-being of our community. 

Rental Procedures are as Follows:

1. Determine which unit(s) you wish to view.  You may take up to three sets of unit keys by presenting your picture I.D. and leaving a $25 deposit. Your money will be returned when the key(s) are returned same day.

2. Once you have determined the unit you wish to rent, you will fill out our Rental Application in our office.  We will then collect the $50 application fee and copy your I.D., Social Security Card and printed Proof of Income.

3. Once approved we will provide you a deficiency list (Move In Inspection) and have you return to the unit to complete it. You must then return with the completed deficiency list along with a money order for the first month's rent and the security deposit.  At that time one of our leasing agents will prepare your rental contract and discuss the contracting process.  The leasing agent will also explain how the rent will be pro-rated and give you the date of your next payment.  When the leasing agent has completed her duties she will get a qualified real estate agent to go over the contract with you and explain anything that is unclear.  Please note that multiple applicants may be approved if they meet the criteria. The property will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis to the qualified applicant who brings certified funds first. 

4.  Once the agent completes the explanation you will be asked to sign a Security Deposit Agreement which discusses the procedure for return of your deposit at the end of the rental term; a Maintenance Addendum which discusses the landlord's and the tenant's repair responsibilities and items that are charged to the tenant; a Lead Based Paint Addendum notifying you if the home was built in the time period that Lead Based Paint was in use in the U.S.; and then your Rental Contract.  You will then receive copies of all of these documents, the receipts for all money tendered, and the keys to your new home.
