Tenant FAQs

Answers to your frequently asked questions

• Can you hold a place before I apply?

  In order to hold a property we need an accepted application and a hold deposit. The hold deposit will be applied to your move-in costs.

• Do I pay first month’s rent and last month’s rent with my security deposit?

  CMA requires a security deposit of 1.5 times the rent (ex: rent $1,000, security deposit $1,500) as well as the first month's rent. Rent will be prorated to the day of move in.

• How old do you have to be to apply?

  Applicants must be 18 years of age or older.

• Is the deposit refundable?

  Yes, the security deposit is 100% refundable. You can ensure receiving your security deposit back by following the cleaning checklist and leaving the property how you found it!

• Who needs a cosigner?

  Co-signers are needed when an applicant does not have credit or rental history.

• You have a property I want to rent. How do I apply?

  The application is emailed directly to applicants, please call us if you see a property you are ready to apply for. Applications are processed first come, first served, and the application fee of $60 is non-refundable.

• I want to get a pet. What do I do?

  If you are considering adopting a pet after moving into a CMA property please contact us first to see if the property is eligible for pets. If pets are approved, we will fill out an addendum to include your pet.

• My lease expiration is coming and I want to move out. What do I do?

  Please provide CMA with a 30 day written notice. There is a 30 day notice packet that can be found on our website or you can pick one at the office.
