Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach out if you cannot find an answer to your questions from the list below.

What is the cost of renting a property?

The cost of renting a property varies depending on the location, size, and amenities of the property. Please check the property listing or contact us for more information. We accept payments via banks, Venmo, cash app, PayPal, and certified check.

In order to move in, we take first month, last month and security deposit. We do this because we don’t want anyone to Lose their housing in case of an emergency. It’s a safety net for you and your family should an incident occur.

What is the lease term for a rental property?

The lease term for a rental property is one year. Before the year is up, we will get in touch with you and see about signing another year with us! Please read the contract you sign carefully for lease terms.

Do you require renters insurance?

We do require renters insurance for all our tenants. We require a $500,000 Renters insurance policy for all clients. Renters insurance can protect you from losses due to theft, fire, or other unforeseen circumstances.

Do you accept pets?

At Friendly Dwellings we love pets! We do accept pets of all types! While we do not take a deposit for pets, there is a $50 per-pet amount added to each month’s bill. Some additional insurances for certain pets and breeds (Lions, tigers, bears etc.) may be required. Service animals are always welcome.

Are Utilities Provided?

Utilities such as water, gas, electric, sewage and trash are the responsibility of the occupant. We allow for 5 days, after move in, to have the utilities switched into the new occupants name.

Are appliances provided?

While some of the houses do have appliances from a previous tenant leaving them, We do not supply the houses with appliances. You are responsible for getting the appliances that fit for your family.

Is good credit necessary to rent and are you credit driven?

No! We are not credit driven when accepting applications. While we do run a background check, we are looking for renters history, leans or previous negative judgements, violent felonies and past evictions. Just having any of these is not an immediate denial. After filling out the application, the office staff will contact you with any questions.

Is there an application fee?

There is a $40 application fee per adult that will be living in the house. Once you fill out one application and pay the fee, you are not required to fill out more applications for different houses you inquire about.

Do you take section 8?

We DO accept Section 8 vouchers! When you apply, please have your voucher amount available to upload along with other required documents. In order for us to be able to accept the voucher amount, the price before utilities has to be the amount of rent or above. Having the proper paperwork is essential for the process to move smoothly.

How do I apply?

Below in the PDF section is an application. Once you download it, you can fill it out and return it to office staff with all other required documents that are listed. Also the application fee will need to be paid below. After filling out the application and getting documents required, send everything to us so we can process your application!
