Tenant FAQ’s

Q: What is the fee for submitting an application?

A: We only accept Money Orders, unless you pay online. Acranet Application cost is $52 per person over 18 years old.

(The application fee is paid directly to a third-party screening company, Acranet, for applicant processing and is therefore non-refundable.)

*Additional fees are subject to change.

Q: Do I have to make separate application for each property?

A: No, your application applies to all properties currently under Gary Mann Management. We hold completed applications for 6 months.

Q: How long before I know if I was approved?

A: Typically, we should know something within 5 business days, if your information is able to be verified. There are some special circumstances that may require extended time. To speed up the process, you can inform your employer or property manager (if you have one) that the screening company will be contacting them. Please call our office if you have any questions regarding your application status.

Q: How much money do I have to make to be approved?


A: We require that your gross monthly income or combined gross monthly income be 3X’s amount of the rent.

Q: I have bad credit, will I be able to qualify?

A: We require a minimum credit score of 620; however, if you do not meet this requirement, please contact our office, as we may be able to work with you depending on your individual circumstances.

Q: When is rent due?

A: In general, rent is due on the first of the month and late after the sixth. However, some leases do have special provisions for rent collection.

Q: Do I have to pay the whole deposit upon move in?


A: The full security deposit is typically required at move-in. If you need assistance, reach out to your designated property manager to see if flexible arrangements can be made.
 

Q: What payments do you accept for rent and deposit payments?


A: You can make online payments through the tenant portal with Credit/Debit card or by Echeck. We accept cash, check and/or money order in the office.

Q: How much notice must I give you if I want to move?

A: If you are currently on a month-to-month tenancy, you are required by Washington State Law to give written notice no later than 20 days preceding the end of the month. If you are still in a lease, then you are responsible for your rent until the end of the lease term. Lease holders are still required to give proper notice as stipulated in the contract.

Q: Do I need renters insurance?


A: Yes

Q: Do you accept Section Eight (8)?


A: Yes, we proudly accept Section 8 vouchers and any other forms of qualifying rent assistance. Properties must successfully pass required inspections, all paperwork must be completed, and applicants must still fulfill standard screening criteria.


Q: Do you allow pets?

A: Each property is individually owned, and each owner sets the criteria for their rental property. Occasionally we have properties that do allow a pet. If so, you are required to pay a NON-REFUNDABLE pet fee and pet deposits upon move in. Certified Service Animals and ESAs with proper paperwork are accepted. THERE IS A 2 PET MAX! The following breeds will not be allowed, unless special arrangements have been made.
Keep dog list as is.
