Why do I need to pay my entire security deposit when I sign my lease?

We require full payment of the security deposit upon the signing of the lease in order to remove your unit from the market. This allows for faster renting, meaning you're not left waiting to find out if you have been approved for the unit. If you change your mind, or in the rare event where the landlord denies an application, your deposit will be returned immediately.

Can I schedule an earlier move-in date?

No, we are unable to accommodate early move-in requests. Your move-in date will be the same as the start of your lease.

Can I pay a security deposit at the showing?

No, you cannot pay the security deposit at the time of the showing. To pay the deposit you must have filled out an application, been approved, and signed a lease.

Who am I renting from? Who is my Landlord?

You are renting from Ripple Property Group, the property management company of the unit. We work under the RE/MAX Commercial Properties brokerage located at 4034 16 Street SW.

Just like renting from an owner directly, we handle items such as

Conducting showings
Onboarding tenants
Move in / move out inspections
Rent collection
Maintenance and general requests.
Renewals

How will I know my application has been denied?

Typically we will send you an email regarding the status of your application once it has been approved or denied. However, if you do not receive an application update from us within 1-3 business days of, your application has been denied.

What are the application requirements?

A successful application must have:

A credit Score of 650 or higher.
A household income equal to 3 times the monthly rent (e.g., for $2000 rent, income should be $5000-$6000). If you have savings or investments, please attach them in your application under income.
Successfully completed landlord checks review previous tenancy.
Pets that have met any applicable listing criteria, including size, type, and number of pets. (Townhomes and condos allow a maximum of 2 pets)
If the criteria above are not met, a co-signer may be required for approval.

What can I expect my monthly utilities to cost?

Determining utilities is difficult because there are many variables that dictate the cost, and usage can differ greatly from person to person. However, you can typically expect utility costs to be higher in winter months and lower in the summer months.

How are utilities divided between Main Floor and Basement tenants when sharing a meter?

When a meter is shared between tenants we charge a prepaid, set utility amount based on the average monthly usage of main floor and basement units. On the first of each month:

Main Floor tenants will pay $275
Basement tenants will pay $175

When the statement is received any funds exceeding the statement amount will be credited to your utilities account. If the statement exceeds the funds collected the difference will be charged to your account.

The listing says pets are not allowed, can I still apply?

Yes, you can still apply and we will still present the property owner with your application. Please note that it is the owner's right to accept or refuse any tenant application.

Will any repairs or issues I noticed during my showing be resolved by the time I move in?

Properties are shown and leased in “as is condition”. Meaning, any deficiencies that a property has will be noted upon showings and walkthroughs and communicated with our maintenance team. If the deficiency has not been fixed by the time of move-in we will not it and determine the best path forward.

Who approves my application?

As property managers we present the property owners with your application, but it is the owner's decision to approve or deny any application.

Are there any fees for having a pet?

Yes, we charge a $50 monthly pet fee.

How can I book an elevator for my move-in?

To book an elevator you will need to contact your condo board in advance of your move-in date. We are unable to book elevators.

Depending on the condo board there may be a fee to book an elevator. These fees typically range form $50-$450 and we recommend contacting your condo board for more information.

Do I require tenant insurance?

We require a minimum of $2,000.000 liability coverage for tenant insurance for all of our tenants. This mandatory coverage is to protect you as well as the property.
