Tenant FAQs

A property can't be held without an approved application and a paid security deposit.

No, the security deposit is separate from rent. The first month's rent (or a prorated amount) must be paid before move-in.

Every occupant aged 18 or older must submit their own separate application.

No, the application fee is non-refundable, per the Rental Qualifying Criteria.

A co-signer may be required if an applicant doesn't meet the minimum qualifying criteria. See the Rental Qualifying Criteria for details.

Rent is paid electronically through the resident portal.

Most properties allow up to two small pets (under 20 lbs). DeGuire uses a third-party screening service, Petscreening.com. Full details are on the Pet Policy page under the Residents menu.

The lease is a binding contract with each resident 18 or older individually.

The lease automatically converts to month-to-month unless the resident gives 30 days notice before the expiration date.

Requests go through PropertyMeld, where tenants can submit issues, message management/maintenance, pick repair times, and give feedback, accessible from phone, computer, or any internet device, no app needed.
