After you pass the background check, the property manager will send you a lease contract to sign. The property manager will ask you for a security deposit which ranges $250-300. The money is paid to protect the landlord in case you damage the property before you move out.
Rent payment
In the U.S. most rental agreements call for rent to be paid monthly. “It’s so different, when I lived in Indonesia, there was no official background check and I had to pay the rent 3 or 6 -monthly or sometimes 1 year up-front. But in the U.S. renters are treated fairly, ” said Maria, the U.S. immigrant from Indonesia.
The rent payment is traditionally collected by a digital App so it’s trackable and works based on the cutting date agreed on the leasing contract. When the renter pays late, the property manager can easily charge the late fees. The apps used to pay rent are Zego, Rentler, Avail Rentpayment, Clickpay and many more.
