Tenant Frequently Asked Questions
How do/can I pay rent?
You can pay your rent through your tenant portal. You should have received a link via email to log into your account approximately 5 days before your move-in date. In your Tenant Portal account, you may choose to pay via RentMoney voucher (take cash to participating Wal-Mart), auto bank draft, or debit/credit card. We do not accept rent in the office due to security purposes and liability. Rent is due on the 1st of each month.
I want to get a pet. What do I do?
Each property owner decides whether to allow pets or not, and sometimes will make decisions based upon an individual basis.Please check your copy of your lease agreement in your Tenant Portal account. If pets or allowed, the landlord may have policies that restrict the type and size of pet. If there is a pet policy that allows pets, before acquiring your new pet you’ll be asked to pay a pet deposit and non-refundable, one-time fee and sign paperwork. Please read the pet policy carefully in your lease agreement to be certain of compliance. You may also reach out to our support team to inquire if your property allows pets and any other criteria.
Why is the Landlord name different that 512-Society, on my lease?
In most cases your rental home is owned by a third-party investor. This person/entity shows up under the Landlord portion of the lease contract. We are hired by them to manage the property as they do not partake in the management of their rental investment. We are your point of contact for all things pertaining to the property unless otherwise mentioned.
I want to move out, but my roommate wants to stay. What do I do?
This is easily handled. We simply must verify the remaining resident can afford the property alone. If not, you would need to have a replacement resident who makes up the difference apply and become approved through the same app process you went through prior to moving in.
If approved a Roommate Addendum would be signed removing you and all liability from the lease and showing the new resident in your place.
Please note the security deposit will remain on the property and it is a civil issue between you and the remaining resident(s) to determine your reimbursement.
Who is responsible for paying for repairs & maintenance requests?
Depends. 99% of the time the Landlord pays for repairs & maintenance. Like the age old saying goes “if you break it – you fix it”. If it is general wear and tear, a malfunction or a legal obligation then the owner will absorb the costs of upkeep. In the instance you or a guest or other occupant breaks the item in need of service, you will be billed accordingly.
I want to buy a house but where do I start?
Exciting! We have an entire division dedicated to buyers wanting to purchase real estate in Texas. We have several Realtors who would be happy to help you achieve this goal. Please contact our office and ask for our Real Estate Division.
After I move out, when will I get my deposit back?
Per the Texas Property Code Section 92. We are required to give you a refund and/or statement of account itemizing deductions within 30 days after you release possession (i.e. turn in your keys). Please review your Lease contract Section When Moving Out for other details as well as your Move Out instructions for a speedy transition.
How much of my security deposit will I receive back?
That depends. As long as you abide by the Move Out section of the lease agreement and the Move Out instructions we provide, you should receive all of your deposit back.
How can I obtain my rental History during my tenancy with your firm?
We need a signed release from you asking for such a request. Typically your new landlord will send us these documents and we will reply very quickly as we are aware that time is of the essence with these type of requests.
