Applicant FAQS

  • How Do I Hold a Unit For Move In?

    Units cannot be held without the application being approved and the security deposit being paid.

  • Who Needs to Apply For a Unit?

    Any person that is 18 years or older that will be living in the unit needs to apply.  Each person will have a separate application.

  • How Long Does It Take To Run An Application?

    The application process can be approved within 48 hours, in most cases, provided you submit all the requested documention with your application. 

    -Copy of Current Driver's License

    -Copy of Social Security Card

    -The Last 2 Month's Worth of Paystubs (Waiting on this information typically holds up the process)

    -Copy of Current Renter's Insurance Policy


    Your application is considered incomplete until we receive all the required documentation.  If we do not receive the required documenation within 48 hours, we will move on to the next qualified application and close your application out.  If you provide the required documentation after we have closed your application out, we will put your application in the order that it was received as complete.

  • What Does My Credit Score Need to Be To Be Approved?

    Charisma does not use a specific credit score to qualify tenants, as there are many factors that affect the score like student loans, medical debt, bankruptcy, etc.  We look at the overall credit. Do you pay your bills on time?  Who do you owe?  Do you have evictions on your record?  Do you owe another Landlord?

  • Do You Allow Co-Signers and/or First and Last's Months Rent?

    A co-signer and/or the first and last month's rent may be required in cased where the minimum qualifying criteria is not met.  If you have questions about this, you are welcome to call our office to discuss.

  • Is the Security Deposit Refundable?

    All paid security deposit and pet deposits are refundable at move out, so long as there is not damage to the unit or money owed for rent or other charges. When you move out, you will receive a checklist to help you get your full deposit back.

  • Do You Allow Pets?

    Our pet policies vary from property to property, as some owners do not allow pets, while others do with some restrictions.  It is always best to ask upfront when applying so there is no misunderstanding on the criteria for a specific property you are applying for. 

  • Do You Have Breed and/or Size Restrictions?

    For the properties that allow pets, we do not have breed or size restrictions.  Again, it's always best to verify these things before you apply.

  • Do You Charge Pet Rent or a Pet Deposit?

    The properties that allow pets do charge pet rent and a pet deposit.  The charges vary from property to property, so make sure you get that information upfront.

  • Do You Require Renter's Insurance?

    Yes.  We require a recent copy of your Renter's Insurance Policy.  The name of the Ownership Entity that will be on your Lease Agreement must be listed as an "Additional Insured."  


    You will have 5 days from the date you move in to provide proof of Renter's Insurance, showing the Ownership Entity listed as the "Additional Insured."  Should you fail to provide proof of the required insurance the Landlord will take a Renter's Insurance Policy out on your unit and charge your ledger each month accordingly.

  • Who Pays for Maintenance Repairs?

    Typically, the Landlord is responsible for maintenance repairs, however, in some situations the repairs needed are caused by the Tenant and that would be a Tenant repair charge.
