  • Is there an application fee?

    Yes, the application fee is $40.00 non-refundable per each person over the age of 18 that will be residing in the home and must be paid at the time the application is presented to Stone & Story Property Management in order for the application process to begin. The application fee is non-refundable.

  • How do I submit the application and application fee and how long is the process?

    Application must be submitted online on our website, along with the application fee.  The application process can take one to seven (1-7) business days depending upon how soon we can get documents from you and other parties such as landlords and employers.

  • What if you have multiple applications from different perspective tenants?

    Applications are approved based on a “Best Qualified Application” policy. We will process all the applications until a qualified application is approved. Please note that if your application is not approved, the application fee will not be refunded.

  • How will I know if I am approved?

    A representative from Stone & Story Property Management.com will contact you as soon as your application has been approved.

  • How long will you hold a property for move-in after the application has been approved?

    Normally we will not hold the property longer than 14 days on a vacant property once the application has been approved. If the home is currently occupied, we will hold the home 14 days after the move-out date of the prior tenant.

  • What happens if my application is denied?

    If your application is denied based on the tenant screening criteria, you will not be granted “right of occupancy” and we will send you an adverse action letter in writing.

  • Is there a deposit and when is it due?

    Yes, the deposit is usually equal to one month’s rent, but it may vary based on the property owner's decision.   The deposit must be paid at the time of lease-signing which is within 24 hours of application approval.

    Once you submit your application, even if you decide to cancel your application, the application fee is non-refundable.

  • When do I need to sign the lease agreement?

    The lease agreement must be signed within one business day of approval. You may do this by scheduling a time with us, or we can have you and all other applicants sign the lease by electronic signature.

  • When will I receive keys to the property?

    You will receive keys to the property on the date specified in your lease as your initial move-in date and as long as all monies have been paid to Stone & Story Property Management.com per the lease agreement.

  • When is rent due for my move-in?

    A full month’s rent and any other monies owed will be due on or before the date specified in your lease as your initial move-in date. Any prorated rent will be due the first day of the following month.
