A non-refundable fee of $75 is required to process a Rental Property Application. The first month's rent is required to secure the property if approved.  Payment will not be deposited in the bank until you are approved and will be returned to you if you are denied.  Upon approval the check becomes the first month's rent.  Security deposits and lease purchase deposits are not required until the move-in apppointment.  

Security Deposit – One month's rent depending on credit payable at move-in with certified funds or money order (This deposit will be refunded in full provided only normal wear and tear to home is done and the home is left in a clean and ready to occupy condition on move out date).

Pet Deposit –  Non refundable.  Amount of deposit varies depending on size and breed of pet.  Some pets may require additional deposits and renter's insurance.  If so, Austin Patrick & Associates and the owners must be added to the policy as additional insured and the policy must remain in full force and effect for your entire tenancy.  The Policy Declaration Page must be produced at or before move-in to show $300,000 liability coverage.
