Tenant FAQs

I understand your interest in securing a property, and we appreciate your consideration. Typically, we operate on a first-come, first-served basis, and properties are only held for applicants who have completed the application process and met all necessary qualifications.

The payment requirements for moving into a property can vary based on the lease terms and our specific policies. Typically, the first month's rent and the security deposit are required at the time of lease signing. The security deposit is usually equivalent to one to two months' rent and is held in an escrow account to cover potential damages or unpaid rent.

To apply for a rental property with SunnySide Properties, applicants must be at least 18 years old, which is the legal age of majority in most jurisdictions. This age requirement ensures that individuals entering into a lease agreement have the legal capacity to do so.

If you have specific questions or unique circumstances related to age or other qualifications, please don't hesitate to reach out to our leasing team. We're committed to assisting all potential tenants and will do our best to accommodate your needs.

Yes, the security deposit is typically refundable, provided that the terms of the lease are met. At the end of the lease, the deposit may be returned to the tenant after a thorough inspection of the property to assess any potential damages or unpaid rent.

If any damages beyond normal wear and tear are found, or if there are other outstanding charges, the necessary deductions will be made from the deposit. The remaining balance, if any, will be returned to the tenant.

A cosigner may be required in situations where an applicant does not meet specific criteria set forth by SunnySide Properties for renting a property. These criteria might include income level, credit score, rental history, or other financial considerations.

Here are some common scenarios where a cosigner might be necessary:

Insufficient Income: If an applicant's income falls below a certain threshold, typically a specific multiple of the monthly rent, a cosigner may be required to guarantee payment.

Poor or Limited Credit History: Applicants with a low credit score or limited credit history may need a cosigner to provide additional assurance of payment.

Lack of Rental History: If an applicant does not have a sufficient rental history or has had previous issues with landlords, a cosigner may be required.

Student or First-Time Renters: Individuals who are renting for the first time, such as students or young adults, may not have established credit or income. In these cases, a cosigner can provide added security.

Legal Age Requirements: In some cases, applicants who are under the legal age to enter a contract may need a cosigner.

It's important to note that the requirements for a cosigner may vary depending on the specific property, lease terms, and individual circumstances. We encourage potential tenants to review our rental criteria and consult with our leasing team to understand any specific requirements related to cosigners.
