Thank you for your interest in scheduling a property showing with us. Please note that prior to scheduling any showings, it is necessary for applicants to submit their application for review and approval.

In the meantime, we invite you to view our listings for photos and additional details about the property, which may assist you in making an informed decision.
When you apply, you must provide verifiable income documentation when submitting your rental application.

We don't like charging for applications. However, our vendors charge us each time we run reports on applicants or co-signers. Therefore, we have to charge to pay for those reports. An application is valid for 90 days from when submitted, and you may use it for any property we have listed during that time.
If an error was made during the application process (for example, an incorrect Social Security Number), unfortunately, a new application must be submitted as our vendor charges for the application to be run again.
Application fees are non-refundable. Please make sure only to submit one application, as it is usable for 90 days from the original submission date and may be used to apply for multiple listed properties.
If a co-signer applies, make sure that they meet the application requirements for co-signers, as the same no refund policy applies to their applications as well. Do not have a co-signer submit an application until it has been requested.
It's important to note that submitting an application does not guarantee securing the property that was applied for. Given high demand, multiple individuals might be applying for the same property and be at different points in the application process. As application fees are non-refundable, all submitted applications will be processed, and you may apply it towards any property listed with us for a period of 90 days from submission.
A co-signer must have a credit score of 680 or higher, stable employment for at least (1) one year, and sufficient income to cover their own expenses and the applicant's rent. Do not have a co-signer submit an application until it has been requested.
If your credit score changes, you will need to reapply on our website. You will have to pay the application fee again, as we are charged each time we run reports on an applicant.
Typically equal to one month of rent, based on employment and credit check.
Our standard lease duration is 12 months. Any exceptions to this will be clearly specified in the property description.
A student enrolled full-time in an academic institution may have a qualified co-signer pay the student's rent during their lease. Doing this shifts the income requirement from the student to the qualified co-signer.
Proof of enrollment must be presented by the applicant when applying, this may be a class schedule clearly showing your name and class hours, an acceptance letter, or a letter from the extended education administrative department.
A signed lease and paid deposit allow for a residence to be held for a maximum of 14 days. After which rent payments begin, and insurance and utilities must be active and in the tenant's name. This policy may not apply to any properties we have listed and do not manage, which may not allow for any sort of hold.
You are always responsible for the entire term of your lease. However, you may notify us of the need to move early. You must provide a new mailing address and the date by which you will vacate your residence, and then we can begin advertising the apartment for rent.
Until a new tenant has been approved and moved in, you are responsible for:
Please remember, you are ultimately responsible for finding a new resident, we advertise as a courtesy. As always, check your lease to make sure this option is available, as this policy is subject to change.
We require security deposits to ensure a property will be returned to the condition in which it was originally leased. When processing your security deposit, we look at the move-in information you supplied when moving in and compare that with the photos we took during the move-out inspection of your previously leased property. Vendors then take care of general cleaning, carpet cleaning, floor repairs, general repairs, painting, etc. Sometimes, a vendor will charge a minimum fee for coming to a property to perform a task; for example, a cleaning company may have a charge to go to a property and clean. If the tenant fails to clean the unit thoroughly, the tenant will pay this fee. The bills are then collected, and after review of the move-in information, we calculate how much you owe. If you feel that an error was made in calculating these amounts, please feel free to reach out with supporting documentation, photos, emails, etc., as we are happy to revisit the charges based on the provided information.
We do not mark up anything charged by our vendors, and as such, do not profit from the items that must be completed to return your previous home to its original state.
We encourage all tenants to make notes, take photos, and send us their concerns within seven days of their lease start date. We want tenants to document any defects or issues so they can be noted in their tenant file for later use during the move-out process and security deposit processing.
Most of the properties we manage do not accept HUD/Section 8. Please see the property description to see more details. If you have a question, you can always email us at leasing@fultonmo.com. All applicants using a voucher are required to meet the same application requirements as any other applicant. However, remember that you may not have a co-signer under the HUD/Section 8 Program.
For properties under our management, residents are provided access to an online portal enabling them to perform various tasks. For instance, if there's a maintenance issue in their residence, they can create a maintenance request within their portal. They can provide a detailed description along with photos if needed. Subsequently, we will forward this information to the relevant vendor for prompt resolution of the issue.
Residents of properties under our management can conveniently make online payments through their resident portal. With the option to pay for free using ACH (checking account and routing number), they can also set up auto-payments for added convenience.
