Excellence Property Management
How can I apply for a rental property?
You have to be at least 18 years old. If you aren't under 18, click here to use our online portal for submitting an application. You will have to pay a $50 non-refundable application fee.
Is it possible to apply for a property that I haven't viewed?
t is very rare, but technically possible, as we have rented to tenants sight unseen in the past.
How can I visit a property?
Call the number on the listing directly or click here to contact us through the contact page. After receiving a request, we'll quickly organize a property viewing. Our goal is to make sure you'll find your dream home.
Do I have to sign a lease?
Yes, you have to sign a lease online or offline by appointment. The majority of our properties come with a 12-month lease. It states the responsibilities of both sides covering the whole tenancy period.
What is your security deposit policy?
Security deposit equals to one months' rent/same as rent. You need to pay the full amount before moving in.
How do the rent payments work?
Your rent is due on the first day of every month. We offer a variety of payment options.
- Mail the rent directly to our office. Don't forget to indicate your address and unit number on the money order memo
- Bring it in person to our office.
- Deposit into our account (we provide routing and account number)
- ZELLE
Please note that cash payments aren't accepted due to security reasons.
When is the rent typically increased?
Rent increases usually happen after the lease term expiration. Of course, it isn't always increased. Our analysis accounts for the property owner's requests and relevant market conditions.
What could I do to waive the late rent fees?
We aren't able to waive any late rent fees. Our late charge policy complies with Fair Housing Laws. That means we have to treat all tenants equally.
What happens if I can't pay the rent on time?
Immediately call or email our office. Failing to contact could lead to an eviction.
Am I allowed to have a roommate?
Yes, but every roommate needs to get approval. You can do this using a rental application form. After filling out the form, pay the application fee, and wait for the screening results. Skipping any of these steps violates the lease and could lead to termination.
What kind of situations are emergencies?
Emergencies threaten human lives and/or cause property damage. For example, a burst pipe flooding the home and a broken heater during the cold season are definitely emergencies.
What’s your pet policy?
The pet policy depends on the terms in each specific lease agreement. When you already have a pet and you want to add an extra one, please email our office first. We will process every request separately depending on the lease terms. All requests and reports need to be in writing.
Can I change the locks on the property?
No, you would violate the lease agreement terms. It's possible to install new locks, but then you have to write a request. Wish to add extra locks? You have to bear the associated costs. Our approved contractors need to conduct the work.
Can property managers or staff enter my home when I’m away?
If there's a need to enter the property, we'll notify you beforehand. There are many possible reasons for the entrance of managers or staff. For example, landlords may enter the home for emergency repairs. Also, they might allow insurance agents or inspectors to enter the property. But regular maintenance is preferably carried out when you aren't away from home.
Do I need renters' insurance?
Yes, all the tenants need to have renters' insurance before moving in. You have to show a renters' insurance confirmation before getting the keys.
