Frequently Asked Questions
 
* Is the property safe?
Our properties have been adapted to promote Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED). Property Managers are active participants in Crime Free Multi-Housing programs with the local communities. We conduct background checks and on all applicants, and keep close relations with neighbors. Tenants are encouraged to participate in Neighborhood Watch programs.

* What is the average cost of utilities?
The cost of utilities varies widely from one unit to the next.  This is mostly due to the number of occupants, use of appliances, the preferred temperature during the heating and cooling seasons, and individual practices to save energy.  Rates also change constantly due to the cost of fuel and other taxes.  Eagle Properties Environmental Policy requires that all rental units must be equiped with compact fluorescent or LED lights.  These consume 75% and up to 85% less energy than regular incandescent light bulbs, and allow our tenants to enjoy the lower utility costs.
 
* Are the apartment utilities predominantly gas or electric?
Most appliances are electric including the air conditioner and fan, while the furnace fuel is gas.  The specific configuration of kitchen appliances, water heater, or dryer may vary between units in different communities.
 
* Do you require an application fee, background check, or credit check?
A Verification of Deposit form is provided in the second part of the application. This form is filled by the applicants financial institution at no charge, eliminating the need for an application fee. We perform background checks on all applicants, tenants, and residents.
 
* Do you require a security deposit, and if so when is it paid?
Yes, all our rental units require a holding/security deposit check turned in with the application.  The deposit amount varies for each community or type of unit.  Once an application is accepted, the holding check becomes the security deposit.  It is then deposited into a secure bank account as an agreement to enter into a lease, and used to cover any expenses incurred through repair for damages beyond wear and tear, or other debt.  The security deposit does not cover the first nor last month rent, nor does it exempts a tenant from damages beyond the amount of the deposit.
 
* Is the property available only after the specified date, or can I move in before?
Vacancy availability dates are posted with advertisements for each property.  Units are normally available to move in the evening before the availability date.  Some units may be available to move in up to a week before the expected availability date, for which special arrangements can be made for an early move-in.  In this case rent is prorated for the part of the month. Email us if your preferred move in date is slightly earlier than the date posted.

* Is it a great value?
When considering the value of your apartment you must take into account the quality and services. Efficient building and mechanical systems will consume less energy, which reduces your living expenses. Utilities included with rent provide added value as the community buying power offers lower cost to the individuals. Maintenance, and improvements of the premises are some of the services that in addition to responsible and professional property management provide you with worry free living for many years to come.

* When can I see the place?
An online application must be filled before scheduling a showing. This allows us to preserve the privacy of our tenants, and maintain our low cost of housing. There is no cost to apply and your information is secure. We own, host, and manage our server and all forms are sent directly to it. We do not and will not rent, sell, share or disclose your information to third parties. Showings can be scheduled for Wednesday evenings, or Saturdays. Special arrangements can be made with property managers to fit your travel schedule.
