Answers for Our Prospective Tenants
FAQs
What do I need for a rental apartment application?
To apply for a rental apartment, you need government-issued photo ID, proof of income such as recent pay stubs and a letter of employment, and references from past landlords or employers. You may also need to consent to a credit check and complete a rental application form. These documents help landlords assess your reliability as a tenant.
Does a credit check run by Circle Properties affect my credit score?
No, the credit check performed by Circle Properties is a soft inquiry and does not affect your credit score.
How long is my tenancy agreement (lease) for?
The length of your tenancy agreement depends on the lease type. Most leases are fixed-term and last for one year. Some agreements may be month-to-month (periodic), which automatically renew unless notice is given. The specific duration will be stated in your lease agreement.
Do I need tenant insurance?
Yes, Circle Properties requires all residents to carry tenant insurance. This is for the resident’s benefit, as it protects your personal belongings and provides liability coverage in case of damage or accidents in the rental unit.
Do you have any furnished units?
No, Circle Properties does not offer furnished units.
Is parking included in the monthly rent fee? What if I have two vehicles?
Parking is not always included in the rent and varies by property. Some locations include one parking space, while others charge a separate fee. If you have two vehicles, you may need to rent an additional spot, depending on availability and building policy.
What is your pet policy? Are pets allowed? If so, is there a fee?
Pet policies vary by building. Some properties allow pets with restrictions on breed, size, or number, and may charge a pet deposit or monthly pet fee. Other properties may not allow pets at all. You should confirm the pet policy with Circle Properties before signing a lease.
How much will I pay in up-front costs when I sign the lease?
You will be required to pay the security deposit and first month’s rent.
