Tenant FAQs
Answers to your frequently asked questions
-
Can you hold a place before I apply?
Unfortunately, we are not able to withdraw the rental listing until the application is approved and a full deposit is paid. -
Do I pay first month’s rent and last month’s rent with my security deposit?
We only require the full amount of the deposit, which is typically the amount of the rent and prorated rent is charged from the day the lease starts. -
How do I pay rent?
Your rent can be paid by going to our website at 757RentalHomes.com, mailing it to our office at 4176 South Plaza Trail #216 Virginia Beach, VA 23452 or dropping it off in an enclosed envelope with “Maily Jacobs Office” written on the envelope. We have a dropoff box for you to make after hours payments. Payments not made through the website should be in the form of cashier’s check, money order, or personal check made out to “First Landing Realty” -
How old do you have to be to apply?
You must be at least 21 years of age and have monthly income equivalent to three times the rent. -
I want to get a pet. What do I do?
As our homeowners are all different, some may allow pets and some may not, and some may have breed and weight restrictions. Please call our office to obtain permission before you acquire the pet. There is a pet screening process, $250 non-refundable pet fee charged per pet, and a Pet Addendum must be completed once you obtain the permission needed from the homeowner. This fee is paid before any pets are allowed on the premises. There is a fine of $500 per month for any unauthorized pets found on the premises. -
I want to move out, but my roommate wants to stay. What do I do?
Please call our office for information as each situation is unique. -
Is the deposit refundable?
Once a move-out inspection has been conducted and it is determined that there are no damages to the interior and the exterior of the home and that all required receipts have been submitted, your deposit will be refunded to you within 45-60 days of your move-out date. Please do not forget to provide your forwarding address. Without it, your refund cannot be processed until an address is located. -
My lease expiration is coming and I want to move out. What do I do?
We require a written thirty (30) day Notice to Vacate submitted before the first of the month prior to the next rent cycle. -
Who is responsible for paying for repairs & maintenance requests?
Typically, our homeowners take care of paying for all repairs and maintenance unless it is determined that you are the cause of the repair. We will then bill the repair cost to you. -
You have a property I want to rent. How do I apply?
You may go to our website at 757Rentalhomes.com and complete the online rental application. Please be sure to complete applications with the required information: check stubs, LES, application fee etc. We will not be able to process your application without proper documentation and paid fees.
