Frequently Asked Questions

  • How can I see which homes are available?

    Browse our current listings to see photos, rental prices, and property details. If you have questions about a home, reach out to our team—we’re happy to help you find an option that fits.

  • Do I need to apply before touring a home?

    Yes. Complete our **free application** for the home you’re interested in, and let us know when you’ve submitted it. Once we’ve reviewed it, we can help schedule a tour.

  • Is there a fee to apply?

    Our initial application is free. If you decide to move forward with leasing a home, there is a **$30 fee for the credit and background screening**. We’ll explain that step before you pay.

  • How long is my application valid?

    Your application is valid for **90 days**. If the first home you’re interested in isn’t the right fit, ask us about other available options during that time.

  • What do I need to provide to verify my income?

    We’ll need at least **one month of recent income documentation** dated within the last 60 days, such as pay stubs. If you’re salaried, a current salary letter may also work. A W-2 alone can’t be used to verify your current income.

  • Can I apply with someone else?

    Yes. Each adult applying for the home should complete their own free application. If you’re applying with a co-applicant, we can review your income together.

  • How do I know what rent I qualify for?

    We review verified income to help determine an affordable rental range. As a general guideline, monthly rent should be no more than approximately **37–40% of verified income**. Our team can review your information and let you know which available homes may be a fit.

  • How do I secure a home?

    Once you’re approved and ready to move forward, the security deposit secures the home. Homes are offered on a **first-come, first-served basis**, so an application or tour alone does not hold a property.

  • What will I need to pay before move-in?

    Your security deposit and first month’s rent—or prorated rent, depending on your move-in date—must be paid before you receive access to the home. We’ll give you the amounts and due dates for your specific lease.

  • Are pets allowed?

    Pet policies vary by property, so check the listing or ask our team about the home you’re interested in. Where pets are allowed, a pet fee may apply. Please let us know about any pets before signing a lease so we can walk you through the details.

  • Are utilities included?

    Utilities vary by property. We’ll let you know which services you’re responsible for and when they need to be placed in your name before move-in.

  • How do current residents request maintenance?

    Residents can submit maintenance requests through the resident portal. If you’re unsure where to send a request or need help accessing the portal, contact our team and we’ll point you in the right direction.

  • Who should I contact if I have a question about my lease or account?

    Reach out to the Rockwood Rentals team. Whether it’s a payment question, a lease detail, or something about your home, we’re here to help you find the right answer.
