- The acceptance of pets is the decision of the homeowner. If pets are permitted, additional payments are required.
- The housing of each OUTDOOR pet required a $150 non-refundable fee and an additional $10 per month.
- The housing of each INDOOR pet required a $200 non-refundable fee and an additional $20 per month.
- Timing Issues and Fees:
- Payments must be made in the form of a personal check or money order; cash will not be accepted
- A $35 application fee is required for the processing of each Rental Applicant. This fee is non-refundable, regardless of whether the Applicant is approved or denied. KPDK makes every effort to process each Rental Applicant within forty-eight hours.
- A non-refundable holding fee equal to one month's rent is required to "take the property off the market". This fee must be paid by Money Order, no personal checks or cash will be accepted. Until the holding fee is paid, the property will continue to be marketed and shown to potential residents. If the holding fee has been paid, and the approved Applicant subsequently fails to complete the move-in process, the entire amount is forfeited. Otherwise, the holding fee will be transferred to pay the Applicant's security deposit.
- After submission of the holding fee and approval of the Rental Application, an existing damage inspection must be performed, the Lease Agreement signed, and rent paid within ten working days. Keys will not be released until the Lease Agreement has been signed, and both the security deposit and first month's rent have been paid in full.
