Renter Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know what rental homes are available through Sierra Vista RealtyProperties?
Rental homes available through Sierra Vista Realty may be seen on the Sierra Vista Realty website, Brad Snyder web site and on several other websites, including, but not limited to:
* Craig's List
* Hotpads.com
How do I actually see a rental home managed by Sierra Vista Realty?
Call us at (520) 458-4388 to make an appointment to see the rental home or homes you are interested in. In most cases, we will be able to show you the home on the day of your call. However, we are always willing to work with your schedule.
How do I submit an application for a rental home managed by Sierra Vista Realty?
The application for tenancy is available on the "Homes For Rent" page.
Open, print, complete the application and submit it to us by fax, regular or express mail, or in person. Once we have all of your information in hand and your application fee, we will begin processing the your application.
Normally, once all information is received along with your application fee(s), the application process is completed in a matter of 24 hours.
Once your application is approved, you will be notified by a property manager. You will be required to sign a rental agreement and submit funds in an amount equal to, at minimum, one-half of one month's rent within three (3) days of being notified of the approval of your application.
What happens if two or more applications have been submitted for the rental property I am interested in?
Applications are processed in the order in which they are received. In the event that multiple applications are submitted simultaneously, the applications submitted with all required information and the application fee are processed first.
If a complete application is submitted along with funds equal to one-half or more of the monthly rent being asked for the rental property being applied for, that application will take precedence over all other applications, regardless of when that application is received.
These funds, referred to as 'earnest money,' are fully refundable, if the applicant is not approved for tenancy or the applicant withdraws their application prior to or within 3 calendar days of being approved for tenancy.
If the applicant is approved, but does not withdraw the application for tenancy within three (3) of receiving notice of approval, the 'earnest money' will not be refunded, if the applicant does not sign a rental agreement within three (3) days of being approved.
If my application is approved, how soon may I move in?
In most every case, our homes are available for occupancy within two days of an applicant being approved for tenancy.
Though we make every attempt to address maintenance and repair issues within five (5) days of when the former tenant moves out, there is always the possibility that something was missed. If that is the case and the issue is discovered during the final inspection, we'd prefer to complete the maintenance or repair prior to your taking possession of the home. Only in exceptional cases would this require more than an extra day or two.
Who pays for the utilities and public services?
With rare exceptions, the tenant will be responsible for the payment of all utilities and public services.
Sierra Vista Realty requires proof that such services have been placed in the name of the tenant prior to the tenant taking possession of the rental home.
In the event that a service provider will not invoice anyone but the owner or the owner's agent, Sierra Vista Realty will collect payment for these services from the tenant, in advance.
Are security deposits required?
Yes, Sierra Vista Realty collects a security deposit in an amount equal to one month's rent.
Security deposits are considered to be the property of the tenant until such time as the tenant surrenders the property to Sierra Vista Realty.
At no time during the term of the rental agreement may security deposits or pet deposits be used by the tenant, the property owner, or Sierra Vista Realty for the payment of rent, maintenance, repairs, or any outstanding charges as may exist on the tenant's account.
