Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: Can you hold a place before I apply?

  A: When applying for a rental with Paramount Property Management Inc all applications are taken and run. It is not a first come, first serve process. As we get applications completed they are wither Approved, Contingent Approval or Denied. Any approved or contingent approval that agrees to the terms may put down a deposit to hold a property for 14 days. Denied applicants can appeal their application if they find incorrect records by calling the screening number provided in a letter. Once a deposit is put down, the property is removed from marketing and no additional applications are run on the property. If an applicant puts down a deposit, but then opts to not move into the property, for any reason other than the home could not be delivered by landlord than the deposit goes to the cost of lost rent and remarketing the property and will not be returned to the applicant.

Pets will increase the deposit amount, you will see that of the money you put down as a deposit, upon moving out a fee of $250 is deducted from the deposit to be applied to rekeying and carpet/floor cleaning.
