Typical Renting Requirements
Once you have viewed a unit multiple times and are seriously considering renting the place, you will need to provide the landlord with certain information.
- You will be asked to fill out an application (PDF Document).
- Once your application has been approved, you will then be asked to sign a Rental Agreement (PDF Document). Make sure to read the agreement thoroughly before signing. REMEMBER: Agreements are negotiable documents, as long as you and the landlord agree to the terms and both sign off on the lease. VERY IMPORTANT: DO NOT SIGN A AGREEMENT BEFORE HAVING IT REVIEWED FOR FREE BY NON RESIDENT MANAGEMENT UNIT! or you can download it for free.
- Once all documents have been signed, make sure to keep a copy of EVERYTHING!
- Typically, after signing the agreement, the landlord will ask that you pay a security deposit (usually equivalent to one month's rent). The security deposit is normally refundable, as long as the property is returned in the same condition as it was received. Some landlords may ask for, not only the security deposit, but also the first month's rent up front.
*If you feel that the landlord's requirements are outrageous and you are being discriminated against, contact the Non-Resident Management Unit immediately at
