Resident FAQ

If possible, prospective residents can drive by and preview the exterior of the property and neighborhood. We do understand this is not always possible. Professional photographs are available on our website for viewing. Contact the leasing agent or property manager at 928-445-8750 or leasing@ppmprescott.net to schedule an appointment to view the interior of the property or inquire through the “Contact Us” section. If the property is still occupied, we do request that you do not disturb the tenants.

Information will be provided at the showing appointment.  The online application link will be emailed to you.  Applications must be submitted to the office electronically.  All applicants 18 years of age and over must complete their own application. The $50 application fee, a copy of a valid government-issued photo ID and income verification must accompany the application.  All applicants must also complete the appropriate profile (no pet/animal, support animal or household pet) on PetScreening.com.  Applications cannot be processed that are missing required items.

Security deposits are equal to one month’s rent and are refundable.  An additional security deposit equal to one half of one month’s rent is required for approved pets and is also refundable.  In addition, a non-refundable carpet & tile cleaning/blacklight fee is collected based on the size of the unit.  A non-refundable $200 administrative fee is also collected.

A screening company will complete a credit check, legal background and eviction search.  In addition, current and prior landlords will be contacted.  Employment may be verified, if necessary.  

The application fee is non-refundable.

Multiple applications may be accepted on properties.  The applicant that scheduled their appointment first has priority.

Once you have received your approval letter, deposit/fee monies must be paid within two (2) business days with certified funds, either cashier's check, money order or through the tenant portal.

If you change your mind once the deposit/fees have been paid, you will forfeit one half (1/2) of the security deposit and the $200 non-refundable administrative fee.  The carpet cleaning/black light fee will be refunded with the balance of the refundable security deposit and, if an additional security deposit was paid for a pet, this will be refunded as well.

The Lease-Rental Agreement will need to be signed by all Lessees, including the guarantor, if applicable.  Deposit/fees and rent monies must be paid in full.  All utilities must be transferred into the tenant’s name and proof of transfer is required.  All items must be completed before keys can be released.
