  • How do I view one of your rental listing?

    SSPM uses self-showing lockboxes on all vacant units. Information for showings will be under each listing or you can always call our office for further information.

  • How do I apply to rent one of your listings?

    Applications can be accessed directly under the property link on our website. Proof of income and a copy of your valid driver’s license are required to be attached to the application. Please carefully review the application requirements before applying.

  • Once I have applied, if I am denied or choose not to move forward with signing a lease, will my application fee be refunded?

    All application fees are non-refundable.

    21 years of age.

    The leaseholder/primary occupant must be approved under our screening requirements. Renters 18-21 years old will need a cosigner.

  • I want to get a pet. What do I do?

    Some owners allow pets, but some do not. Each rental listing clearly states if pets are allowed and any conditions you will need to consider. Upon approval, a non-refundable $250 fee per pet must be paid by the move-in date. Pets under 50 lbs are 25.00 per month per pet Pets over 50 lbs are 50.00 per month per pet

  • What payments are required to start my lease once I am approved?

    You will be required to pay a security deposit and first month’s rent upon lease signing. The security deposit is never used to cover the last month’s rent of your lease.

  • Is the security deposit refundable?

    The tenant security deposit is refundable if the tenant did not cause any damage to the property and has fulfilled all payment obligations under the lease.

  • When is rent due?

    Rent is always due on the 1st. If rent is received on the 6th or later it will be considered late and you will incur a 5% late fee of the balance due. If payment is consistently late, you could face eviction.

  • How do I pay rent?

    The most convenient way to pay rent is through the tenant portal. In the portal, tenants can pay via e-check (automatic bank withdrawal) at no cost, or via debit/credit card with a 3% convenience. We also have a cell phone app for the tenant portal. Cashiers checks or money orders may also be submitted to our office. Cash payments are not accepted.

    No. SSPM does not permit subleasing. All lease holders must go through our application process. If you need to re-lease your property, please contact your Property Manager

    If a tenant or guest of the tenant caused the damage, the charges are automatically the responsibility of the tenant.
