This all depends on the credit issues that you have.  In order to qualify for one of our properties, the following basic guidelines are required for each applicant:

• No prior evictions.
• No current amount due to any previous landlord.
• Credit Score of at least 580 and willingness to pay the maximum security deposit allowed by law which is 1.5 times the rent.

No. We do not collect funds until a lease is signed. Then we require of half the security deposit that is non-refundable if you decide not to move into the home. That money will be put towards your total move-in costs which are due the day your lease begins and you receive keys.

Although we prefer that you pay rent on your portal, you may also bring your rent o the office in f=the form of a cashiers check or money order. We also have a convenient mail drop slot in the window at the office. We do not accept payments in cash or personal checks or by mail. Please be sure that your name and rental address are identified on the payment.

Each home is different when it comes to security deposit.  Usually, the Security Deposit is $100 plus whatever the rent amount is.  If you have pets, we will charge an additional Security Deposit of $300 per pet.

Our most up-to-date listings are on this website. We add new listings immediately upon them being rent ready, and remove them as soon as we have approved an application.  All pertinent information and photos are there.  We usually know we may have available on the 1st of every month when tenants typically give us their 30-day notice to vacate.

Please call one of our Property managers in our office for viewing instructions.  You will be asked a few basic qualifying questions before we make an appointment.

Each adult, 18 years or older, that will be living in the property must submit an application.

Each property owner has a different pet policy.  The pet policy for the specific property is listed on the property description. Our general Pet Policy is:  No cats, no more than two (2) pets allowed; $300/each additional Pet Deposit/Fee, no wild animals, farm animals, large birds, large snakes or lizards; and no known vicious dogs under insurance classifications, ie; Pit Bulls,  Chows, Dobermans, Rottweilers, German Shepherds, Wild Dogs, Wolf-Hybrids, or any mixes of these breeds.

No, please do not call a contractor on your own.  You are not authorized to perform or contract for any repairs on the property.  If you call a contractor and incur any bill or invoice for any repair on the property, you are doing so at your own cost. Neither management nor the property owner will reimburse you for those costs.  You must contact management so that they can arrange for all repairs/maintenance on all systems, appliances and the structure of the property.  Occasionally we may agree to reimburse you, but you must get our agreement in advance.

No, the tenant may not paint or wallpaper any part of the property without prior written consent of management. If they do, they are responsible to paint the wall(s) to the original color or be charged for it when they vacate.

We will gladly accept the following forms of payment for your monthly rent:

• E-check online payment from your bank – $2.49 convenience fee.
• Debit or Credit card payments online will incur a $10-$20 fee
• Cashier’s Check delivered to office.
• Money Order delivered to office.

We regret that we cannot accept Cash, Credit or Debit Cards.  Please be sure that your name and rental address are identified on your payment.

 Rent is due on or before the first of each month.

• A late fee will be charged at 9:00 AM on the 2nd day of the month regardless of weekends, holidays, pay periods, or acts of God.
• On the 6th day of the month, if rent is not paid on the portal, it will need to be delivered to the office in a cashiers check or money order.
• On the 10th of the month, any tenant with unpaid rent and charges still due will be served a notice of Failure to Pay Rent and it will be sent to the attorney for eviction proceedings.

In your lease, you will be given instructions and phone numbers in the event of an emergency repair.

After you have called to notify us of the emergency, please also go to the maintenance tab of your portal to fill out a repair request with details of what happened.

In most cases, the tenant is responsible for basic lawn and yard care.  Owners cover trees being trimmed above 8 feet like tall palm trees or tall tree branches hitting the house in order to avoid roof damage.

Occasionally, an owner may cover all landscaping. Your lease will specify who is responsible.

We require a 30-day paid written notice to vacate, which must be received by the 1st day of the month.  We accept a letter by email or USPS mail.  If the notice is received after the 1st of the month, than the 30 days will begin and end on the following month and rent will be due for that month.

Upon move out, you are expected to return the home basically in the same condition you received it.  We expect to see that no damage has been done to the property or its contents, except normal wear and tear, that the property is fully cleaned and all trash, debris and personal items removed, and that the yard has been freshly maintained.  

We do not schedule move-out walk through appointments unless you request it in writing. We will perform the move-out walk through within 3 business days of receiving possession (keys) of the property from you. We will contact you with our findings by mail, along with the Security Deposit disposition, to the forwarding address you provide or the last known mailing address we have on file for you. We are required to send that within 14 business days of receiving keys or lease expiration, whichever comes first.

We understand that your last few weeks of residency will be exceptionally busy ones.  However, we do request that you attend to a number of small but important details:

• Please ensure that you have turned in your 30-day written notice to vacate.
• You have possession of the property until midnight of the last day of your lease.  All keys, remotes, access cards, gate openers, etc. must be returned to management by 9:00 AM the following day.  If you have put the keys in the drop box, please put them in a bag or envelope labeled with the property address.
• In order to return possession of the unit, ALL keys to the house must be brought to the office and turned in.  The keys represent possession of the property.  Do not leave any keys or garage door remotes at the property unless you have received an OK from management in advance.  If you do not return ALL keys and remotes, you will be charged at the daily rate for each day they are not returned.
• You must provide us with a forwarding address.  If you are returning the keys via the mail slot, please include your forwarding address at that time.
• All utilities must remain on until the final day of your lease.  
• If you owe any balance, those amounts must be satisfied prior to vacating the unit.
• We have a cleaning list as a part of our vacating checklist to be used as a guide for cleaning your rental house when you vacate.  We would like to point out that you will not be charged for “ordinary wear and tear.”  We DO NOT consider DIRT in any form as “ordinary wear and tear.”

Schreiner Realty will send the security deposit refund check within 14 business days of your return of possession to the forwarding address you provide.  You can receive the full deposit back so long as the following happens:

• Lease term has expired or agreement has been terminated in writing by all parties.
• Lessee has given a written, paid 30-day notice to vacate.
• No damage has been done to the property or its contents, except normal wear and tear.
• Property is returned by Lessee fully cleaned and all trash, debris and personal items removed.
• Property is returned with the yard freshly maintained if required in their agreement.
• All rent, fees and charges have been paid by Lessee in full.
• All door keys and amenity keys, mailbox keys, access cards, gate openers, garage door openers, and any remotes have been returned to management.

You may send your payment or bring your payment into our office for the total amount due.  If you cannot pay the entire amount due at one time, please contact us by phone or email to discuss your options.  If you owe money over and above your Security Deposit, and do not pay or make payment arrangements within 30 days of the Security Deposit Disposition, we will pursue collection legally.
