It is possible to be in your new home the same day the application process is completed. Requirements for move in include: completed applications for all residents, credit & criminal background check, tenant application is approved, the lease agreement is signed and executed, and required payments (deposit and rent) are collected. -
Do You Allow Pets in Your Leased Properties?

Move-Out FAQs
-
When Do I Get My Security Deposit Back?
Under Arizona law, we return your security deposit — minus any legitimate deductions — within 14 business days after your tenancy ends.
Once you've moved out and returned your keys to our office, we do a move-out inspection. If there's damage beyond normal wear and tear, we deduct the cost of the necessary repairs from your deposit. Repairs sometimes take longer than 14 days to complete, but your disposition (the itemized statement showing what was deducted and any refund owed) goes out within the legal window regardless.
We mail everything to the forwarding address on file.
Give us your new address before you leave. The most common reason security deposit refunds get delayed is mail going to the wrong or an old address. Make sure we have your updated address so we can get your refund to you as quickly as possible.
-
How Much Does It Cost to Have the Carpets Cleaned?
Typically it depends on the size of the home, but normally, professional carpet cleaning can range between $150 to $500. Don't waste money on rented machines! Rental carpet cleaners don't compare the cleaning ability that a truck mounted system can be delivered by a professional. Generally, you'll be cleaning the carpets with a professional anyway. -
If I Leave Furniture or Other Stuff in the House, Will I Get Charged a Fee to Remove It?
YES! Hauling & dump fees are very time consuming & very expensive. Make sure you clear out the house of all personal belongings and ALL trash & debris before you move out.
