Tenant FAQs

At Grit Property Group, we generally require a completed application and the application fee before holding a property. This process ensures fairness and efficiency for all prospective tenants.

Payment structures may vary depending on the property and lease terms. Typically, you will need to pay the first month's rent and a security deposit upfront. The last month's rent is usually not required at the start of the lease term.

Applicants generally need to be at least 18 years old or of legal age in the jurisdiction where the property is located. This ensures that tenants are legally accountable for the lease terms.

The security deposit is usually refundable, provided there are no damages beyond normal wear and tear and all lease obligations are met. You can expect a refund of your deposit upon move-out if these conditions are satisfied.

A cosigner may be required if an applicant does not meet the income or credit requirements independently. The cosigner will be responsible for fulfilling the lease’s financial obligations if the primary tenant cannot.

We offer convenient online rent payment options. Once you become a resident, you will receive instructions on setting up your account and paying rent electronically, ensuring a secure and efficient payment process.

If you wish to get a pet, please contact our team to discuss our pet policy. Some properties may have specific pet restrictions or require additional fees. Our standard non-refundable pet deposit is $200, and you’ll pay $50 pet rent (per pet) each month. We will provide you with the guidelines and process for pet approval, as you will be required to provide photos and vaccination records for your pet.

If you plan to move out while your roommate wants to remain, inform our team immediately. We will guide you through the necessary steps, such as signing a lease amendment or helping your roommate find a new co-tenant.

If you do not wish to renew your lease, please notify us in writing before the end of the notice period (stated in your lease). We will provide instructions and assist you with the move-out process.

As a tenant, you should report any repairs or maintenance issues promptly. We will evaluate whether the repair costs fall under tenant or landlord responsibilities based on your lease agreement and the nature of the issue.
