application
To secure a rental property, all prospective tenants
must sign a rental application and a deposit equal to
one months rent must be collected. Please go
to download forms for an application. An application
and deposit does not exclusively reserve a property
– a lease contract signed by all tenants binds
the transaction.
approval
process
The approval process typically takes 1-5 business days.
Students generally need to supply the following information
(if document title is underlined, please click on the
document title to go to the download forms page).
Guarantor
Form - A legal document signed by the parents
of each student. Because students usually do not have
two years of continuous employment and/or extensive
job history, landlords ask parents to guarantee the
lease. This form must be signed and notarized and
the original must be mailed to Symphony properties.
Credit Checks
- a credit check will typically be done on all Applicants
and Guarantors.
Employment
Verification - A verbal or written employment
verification will be conducted on Applicants and Guarantors.
Landlord
Verification - Verbal or written landlord verifications
are administered if there is a prior rental history.
sign
a lease
Upon approval, all tenants will sign the following (please
click on document title to go to download forms):
Standard
and Fixed Term Lease - This contract binds the
terms and conditions of the transaction and provides
necessary addresses and contact information.
Rental
and Security Deposit Receipt - This form documents
the amounts and holding guidelines of all funds collected
in advance (ie first months rent , last months rent
and security deposit).
***The total prepaid funds actually collected from
the tenants in the rental process, including a one
month brokerage fee, is currently determined by current
market conditions. In a strong rental market, tenants
will be expected to pay most if not all of these prepaid
funds – the landlord may expect less prepaids
in a weaker market.***
Apartment
Condition Statement - The purpose of this form
is for the tenant(s) to document all defects of all
property within 15 days of move-in to avoid responsibility
for prior damages.
