Tenant FAQs

Properties are rented on a first-come, first-served basis, and a completed application along with the required fees is what secures your place in line. At Northeast Realty + Co., we believe in a transparent and straightforward process, so we always recommend submitting your application as soon as possible to avoid missing out on a home you love.

Move-in costs vary by property. In most cases, tenants are required to pay the first month’s rent and a security deposit prior to moving in. Certain properties may also require last month’s rent upfront. Our team will walk you through the exact costs associated with your specific rental so there are no surprises.

All applicants must be of legal age to enter into a lease agreement, which is typically 18 years or older. Every adult occupant who will be residing in the unit is required to submit their own application.

Yes, security deposits are generally refundable provided the unit is returned in good condition, with no damage beyond normal wear and tear, and all lease terms have been fulfilled. Deductions may apply for unpaid rent, damages, or necessary cleaning fees. We handle this process with the same transparency and integrity that guides everything we do.

A cosigner may be required if an applicant does not meet the income, credit, or rental history qualifications on their own. Cosigners must satisfy our financial requirements and will be asked to sign a guarantor agreement. Our team will let you know clearly and promptly if a cosigner is needed during the review process.

We make the application process as seamless as possible. Applications can be submitted online or in person and must include a completed application form, the application fee, and supporting documentation such as proof of income and a valid photo identification.

Some properties welcome pets with an additional pet deposit or monthly pet rent, while others have specific breed or size restrictions. We are happy to help you understand what is permitted at your property.

Because all tenants listed on a lease are jointly responsible for the full lease term, a situation like this requires a thoughtful approach. The remaining tenant may need to qualify independently or identify a replacement tenant who meets our application requirements. We encourage open communication and will work with all parties to find the best path forward.

Most leases require written notice within a specific timeframe before your move-out date. We ask that you review your lease carefully for the required notice period and submit your intent to vacate in writing before that deadline. Our team is available to answer any questions and ensure your move-out process goes smoothly.
