Question 1

How long does the application process take?

Accepted Answer

The application process can take up to a week. There is a thorough screening process that each application goes through before approval or denial. The amount of information provided initially can also shorten or lengthen the process. If an adequate amount of information is not provided initially, then we'll need to follow up and obtain the needed information. Your application may be set aside until the additional information is provided, which may result in prolonging the application process.

Question 2

Do you accept rental assistance?

Accepted Answer

We do accept rental assistance and work with various programs/non-profit organizations (e.g. Lakeshore Cap, Salvation Army, Rural Housing, etc). Unfortunately, we do not accept Section 8 at this time.

Question 3

Do you accept applicants with an eviction history?

Accepted Answer

Our current policy regarding past evicitons is that we do not accept applications with an eviction on record in the last five years. This only include evictions that were concluded and resulted in a final judgment for eviction.

Question 5

Is there an application fee?

Accepted Answer

No.

Question 6

Do you offer short-term leases?

Accepted Answer

A majority of our leases are for a 1 year term, however, some properties may allow shorter term leases.

Question 7

Do I need a separate application for each rental address I apply to?

Accepted Answer

No. We use a general application for all of our properties. If you are interested in multiple rentals, please indicate which ones you are interested in on your application.

Question 8

Do you have any move-in specials?

Accepted Answer

No, we do not currently offer specials on any of our properties.

Question 9

When do I get my security deposit refund?

Accepted Answer

The state of Wisconsin requires us to issue back deposits within 21 days of a move out, assuming we were notified of such move out ahead of time, that such move out is not in breach of the lease currently in place, and that we were given a forwarding address to be able to send the refund to. We do our best to do so within the required time frame, but some circumstances may lengthen our move out inspection and security deposit processing. Please feel free to reach out to us if you do not receive your deposit within 21 days after moving out.

Question 10

My credit score is not that good, will that affect my opportunity to get approved?"

Accepted Answer

We take multiple factors into account in our application process. Currently, we do not run credit checks as part of our screening process unless specifically requested by a client for a specific property. We may take into consideration items such as judgments and debts that could negatively affect an applicants ability to pay rent.

Question 11

I do not have any rental history. Will that affect my application?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily, but it does help. We ask that applicants do provide a minimum of 10 years of prior residency, whether that be at a rental, as a homeowner, or temporary living arrangements.

Question 12

When can I move in?

Accepted Answer

Once going through the application process and signing a lease, tenants can move in on the start date stated in their lease. Although lease signing and utility service setup can be conducted beforehand, tenants are not allowed to receive keys until the start date specified on their signed lease.

Question 13

Do I have to reapply if I change jobs and/or address?

Accepted Answer

No. Please contact our office if you need to have your application updated.
