Pets and Assistance Animals
Pets are considered on a case-by-case basis, subject to owner approval, and require a non-refundable pet fee of $250 per pet. The owner retains sole discretion to approve or deny pet requests for any reason. Additional pet fees or pet rent may be requested at the owner's discretion. To have your pet(s) considered, you must complete the pet section on the application and provide current photos.
Certain animals cannot be accepted due to insurance regulations, including but not limited to: Doberman Pinschers, German Shepherds, Pit Bulls, Chows, Rottweilers, Siberian Huskies, Alaskan Malamutes, American Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire or Bull Terriers, English Bull Terriers, Korean Jindos, Presa Canarias, Hybrid or Purebred Wolves, Coyotes, Wild Dogs, or any other aggressive breed or mix thereof. These policies do not apply to assistance animals.
Assistance animals are welcome with proper documentation, which may include a letter from a medical professional or reliable third party.
Approval
Once approved, the holding fee must be paid with certified funds within 24 hours. OneSource will not take the property off the market until a holding fee is paid.
HOLDING FEES AND SECURITY DEPOSIT: Holding Fees are required to be paid within twenty-four hours after a completed application has been approved. Failure to pay this will result in your application being denied. Once paid, the holding fee is NONREFUNDABLE. If Applicant has deposited a HOLDING FEE, the dwelling will be taken off the rental market. This holding fee is not a security deposit. However, it will be credited toward the required security deposit when the Lease Agreement is signed by all parties. If applicant is approved, but fails to enter into the lease within 3 days of verbal and/or written approval being communicated to applicant, the application will be denied and the application process closed with the holding fee being forfeited as stated above. If the tenant fails to take possession after the lease is signed and the lease term begins, applicant understands and agrees that the security deposit is automatically forfeited to the Landlord or Management.
Conditions of Move-In
If the property is vacant at the time of lease signing, the lease must begin no later than 21 days from the date of approval. All move-in funds must be paid in certified funds payable to OneSource. This includes holding fees, a $50 Administrative Fee, first 1st full month’s rent, and any applicable pet fees, which are to be paid via cashier’s check or money order only. NO CASH, PERSONAL CHECKS, or DEBIT OR CREDIT CARDS are accepted. Prorated rent, if applicable, is due on the first day of the following month. Tenants moving in on the 21st or later must pay prorated rent as well as the full first month’s rent upon move-in. Proof of all utilities being transferred as of the date of possession is required before keys are provided. By completing the application, the applicant acknowledges having read the lease and all addendums and agrees to its terms.
Conditional Approvals and Exceptions to Policies
Any deviations from our policy must be submitted in writing for presentation to the owner for review. If approved, additional holding fees, co-signers, and/or advance rental payments may be required.
Acceptance of a co-signer is not standard policy and is subject to the owner's approval or denial on a case-by-case basis. If approved, the co-signer must also submit an application. As most owners are currently only considering fully qualified applicants, approval of the application, even with a co-signer, is unlikely.
Viewing Property Before Renting and Renting Sight Unseen
We highly recommend that all applicants view the property before submitting an application. If an applicant is unable to view the property in person, we can assist by arranging for a friend, co-worker, or sponsor to view it on their behalf. However, if you choose to lease a property without seeing it first, you will need to sign a sight unseen addendum. For applicants residing out of the area, we strongly advise having a representative view the property and conducting neighborhood research before applying or signing a lease. Please note that any application fees, holding fees, rent, and/or pet fees are nonrefundable if you later decide not to proceed with the lease.
