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.
