Cornerstone utilizies a general application system. If you submit an application and it is approved, it can be transferred to a different available property if you meet the qualifications for it as well until you hold the property with a hold fee. 

https://rent.findigs.com/ea44428d-e956-46d1-9853-988938aeea9d is the link to apply!

Our leasing staff does provide availability on one day a week for prospects who don't have an approved application to view a unit. Still, without an approved application, you are limited to one showing! 

Unfortunately, it is impossible to accurately predict exactly what our availability will look like 30+ days out. The best thing to do to prepare is to submit and complete your general application as soon as possible. With an approved application already waiting, you are prepared and able to secure a unit you qualify for immediately if it comes up!

An approved application remains valid for up to six months. However, Cornerstone reserves the right to re-verify eligibility, including income, criminal background, and other qualifying criteria, prior to securing a unit. This re-verification process will be conducted at no additional cost to the applicant.

The Cornerstone Property Management Group application process is an in-depth scoring system which takes into account but is not limited to resident scores, rental history or home ownership, income, employment, and a background check.

 A felony may score negatively in our criminal category, yet not an automatic denial.  It would depend on how you score in the other categories. Please make sure to answer the application question regarding crimes fully and honestly, as any false information will result in an automatic denial.

We will hold a property for a maximum 14 days before the lease starts.  You do not need to move in on the 14th day yet rent will be charged and due. You will need to fill out the property hold form and pay the associated fees. 

** Exceptions to this policy may be made by the Broker on a case-by-case basis.

Anyone 18 years or older who is/would be living in the household needs to have an updated and approved application with Cornerstone. 

In general, Cornerstone does not rent to anyone with an eviction on their record in the past 7 years. 

The application itself is $35 per adult. 

Yes.  You can also set up recurring payments through your tenant portal if you choose to do so.

We take money orders, cashier's checks, and personal checks in person. You can only do a payment via ACH or by credit/debit card from your appfolio tenant portal! We do not have a card reader in office.

We do not accept ANY cash.

If you are in a situation where you cannot pay your rent by the end of the grace period, know that we understand how stressful this can be. With that being said, we do need to figure out a way to get the rent paid in full. 

Cornerstone staff can send you a list of community resources we have compiled upon your request. We do not guaruntee any will be able to help you, but they may be able to point you in the right direction if anything.

Communication is key, please keep Cornerstone staff updated along the way, no matter how small the update is.  

Let us know what color of paint you want to use and where you would be painting. We will inform you of approval or denial! This is just how our policy on that reads:

Painting must be approved in writing by owner and/or management. If painting is NOT approved or is done in an ill manner, it will be repainted at tenant's cost upon vacating.

Cornerstone reserves the right to make this determination at its sole discretion at the time the tenant vacates.

No. You are only 'in lease' for the duration of time between the two dates referenced in the beginning of your lease. Still, a notice to vacate IS legally required to no longer be responsible for the unit unless your lease specifies that it does not go month to month after the expiration date. 

Typically, a 30 day notice (can only be turned in on or before the 1st of that month) is required unless your lease requires a different amount of time.

This needs to be a written

Unless worded differently in your lease or given written permission from the landlord, a move out notice is always required on or before the 1st of the month. If you wait until the 2nd or after, legally, the landlord can hold you financially and physically responsible for the unit until the last day of the NEXT month. 

No, your security deposit is held until the end of your tenancy so that any repairs, cleaning, or unpaid fees needed done or paid because of the tenant can be remedied at the responsible party's expense.
