A co-signer and additional security deposit equal to one month’s rent may be required if you do not have adequate rental history. Applicants must provide us with the information necessary to contact past landlords including working phone numbers. We reserve the right to deny an application if, after making a good faith effort, we are unable to verify prior rental history.

All tenants of PLUS Property Management are required to provide proof of Renter’s Insurance at the lease/rental agreement signing.

Tenants are required to connect all utilities into their name unless otherwise specified and provide accounts numbers at the lease/rental signing.

PLUS Property Management is not responsible for providing mail keys to any of our properties. Tenant acknowledges and is aware that PLUS Property Management does not reimburse for the cost of collecting a mail key from the USPS (United States Postal Service). It is tenant responsibility to take a copy of the signed lease agreement to a local USPS to secure a mail key for the property they are renting. Upon vacating the property, it is tenant responsibility to return the mail key to the USPS.
PLUS will furnish keys and/or access devices only after: (1) all parties have signed the lease contract and other rental documents referred to in the Lease contract; and (2) all applicable rents and security deposits have been paid in full.

If you withdraw your application prior to being approved, the application fee is non-refundable, and we will consider your application “backed-out” and will begin processing the next application in line.
If you withdraw your application after being approved and paying the security deposit the Owner/Agent may retain the deposit. However, if the rental agreement is not executed due to a failure by the owner/agent to comply with this agreement within four days the Owner/Agent shall return the deposit to the applicant either at the place of business or mailing the deposit by first class mail to the applicant. Proof of timely compliance with this requirement shall include a postmark.
