Tenant FAQ

The questions renters ask us most, answered plainly. Looking for a home? Start with houses for rent in Columbus, GA, or call (706) 565-0741.

• Can you hold a place before I apply?

  Yes. Once you are approved, a security deposit holds the home for up to three weeks.

• Do I pay first month's rent and last month's rent with my security deposit?

  No last month's rent. At move-in you pay the security deposit plus the first month's rent, prorated if you move in mid-month.

• How old do you have to be to apply?

  18. Every person 18 or older who will live in the home has to submit an application.

• Is the deposit refundable?

  Yes. After you move out we do a move-out inspection, and the deposit is returned less any damage beyond normal wear and tear and any unpaid balance, within the time Georgia or Alabama law allows depending on which side of the river the home is on. This is general information, not legal advice. Laws change.

• You have a property I want to rent. How do I apply?

  Apply online from the listing, or in person at our office at 7830 Veterans Pkwy, Suite C, Columbus, GA 31909. Every adult who will live in the home applies.

• How do I pay rent?

  Online through the resident portal.

• I want to get a pet. What do I do?

  Ask us before the pet moves in. Whether pets are allowed depends on the owner of that home. Where they are, there is a $250 non-refundable pet deposit.

• My lease expiration is coming and I want to move out. What do I do?

  Give us 30 days' written notice before your lease ends, then schedule your move-out inspection with us.
