  • Is the rent amount negotiable?

    We try hard to offer homes at accurate and reasonable prices. Usually the rent is not negotiable but we are happy to present the offer to the owner. This may delay processing your application.

  • What if I have a poor credit score?

    We understand life happens and credit scores may not give 100% of the full story. We don’t look just at the number. We ask that any tenant explains issues on credit scores. What we are looking for is a pattern of not paying bills and your story will help to fill that in. Any score less than 650 may require higher deposits initially.

    Want to get bonus points if you have had issues in the past and need special consideration? Read The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey and plan to submit a written budget to us and with your application. This will show your intentionality with being in control of your money.

  • What are general lease terms?

    The Lease Agreement is typically for a 12-month term. Shorter or longer leases must be approved prior to submitting an application but may incur higher rent fees. Leases preferably start May-August but we do often have leases which start on other months. If your Lease Agreement begins mid-month, you will be asked to pay a prorated rent portion on move-in day. The monthly rent is due on the 1st of each month and is considered late after the 5th, which will result in a daily late fee after the 5th. The Non-Refundable Reservation Fee will convert to the Refundable Security Deposit and $120 Lease Administration Fee once the Lease Agreement begins and possession is taken. After the initial lease term, either party may provide a 60-day notice to vacate.

    Our unfurnished homes are typically rented on a 12 month lease term. For month to month rentals, check out our furnished rental page www.staygvl.com for nightly and longer term rates.

    Every tenant will be additionally insured with our SureVestor liability insurance. This policy will be paid as a part of your monthly Tenant Concierge Payment. Note that this insurance does not cover your personal belongings, only liability protection so you will most likely need to purchase insurance to cover your items.

    Liability on Dangerous breeds will have to be covered by renter's insurance policy and we require a minimum $300,000 liability on each pet if the owner allows the pet to reside in the home. Any pets with previous attacks will not be allowed on the property.

  • How long will you hold a property?

    Typically we will hold a property for up to 2 weeks (and then rent will be due). To hold a property (and take it off the market), we will require non refundable deposit equal to one month's rent which will be applied to your move in fees/deposits upon move in.

  • What is your pet policy?

    Most of our properties will consider pets on a case-by-case basis with the final decision up to the property owner. PLEASE GET APPROVAL FOR YOUR PET(S) BEFORE SUBMITTING THE APPLICATION. We typically charge a Non-Refundable Pet Admin Fee of $150 per pet and a $30 monthly Pet Admin Fee for each pet. We do require that you obtain liability protection for your animal(s) that is part of your tenant insurance requirements.

Service/Companion animals are allowed and are exempt from any pet rent or pet application fees but must be registered and approved by our pet screening service.
