A: Yes, all Gump Rent tenants are required to have active renters insurance for the entire duration of residency. Gump Rent can provide you with a renters insurance policy if you do not currently have one with a 3rd party insurance company. If you currently have an active renters insurance policy, please provide a copy of the policy at the following link for Gump Rent to independently verify. 

A: No, we do not reserve properties. The only way to secure a property is to submit a completed application, presenting the application to the owner for approval, and then once you have been approved, pay the deposit, first month’s rent, and execute a signed lease. 

• A: When signing a lease we require first month’s rent with your security deposit.

A: Some properties do not allow pets (subject to tenant's rights laws). All pets must be approved by the Property Owner. If a pet is allowed, a non-refundable fee will be charged and a pet addendum will be included to the lease. This fee and addendum allows you the right to have an approved pet on the premises. The fee is not a damage deposit and the tenant will be responsible for all damages caused by the pet. 

• A: The deposit is refundable, subject to compliance with all terms of the lease.

• A: A written notice to vacate must be delivered to our office at least 30 days in advance of when you plan to move out.

• A: A “fully completed” Application relies not only on you, but several third parties. For an application to be “fully completed” for an approval/nonapproval decision, the following have to be received in our office:

  • A completely filled out Application along with your paid fee.

  • Two forms of identification as previously defined in our application process and screening criteria.

  • Proof of Income as defined in our application process and screening criteria.

  • A third party criminal check. This can take up to 48 hours for us to receive after receipt of your completed application.

  • Your credit report with FICO score. This usually is received quickly, but can take up to 24 hours to process by the third-party vendor. If you have a credit freeze, fraud alert or identity theft services, this process can take much longer than 24 hours and may require further action on your behalf.

  • If you are a previous renter, your fully completed application is pending receipt of rental reference history we work to obtain directly from your current or prior landlord(s). This requirement may become the single source of any delayed decision on your complete Application. You may need to contact your current and/or previous landlord(s) and ask for a timely response to our inquiry.

A: Applications are normally first come, first serve. However, in the event that we receive multiple applications for one property on the same day, we first verify that all applications submitted are completely filled out with the proper information in its entirety, and then we notify each applicant that there are multiple applications. Applications are presented to the owner/landlord as soon as all information is received and the application is “fully completed” for them to choose the strongest applicant. 

• A: Applications fall through all the time for any reason, therefore we keep properties advertised until the lease is signed and executed. We highly recommend submitting a back-up application in the case any pending applications may fall through. If a pending application falls through, we will provide the property owner with the next applicant in the order in which the application is “fully completed”.

A: Utilities vary depending on the property your rent. Most all of our rentals are set up for the tenant to be responsible to pay all utilities. However, there are some properties that do include some utilities. Utilities must be transferred into the tenants name as of the date that you take possession of the property. Utility contact information can be found here. Tenants are responsible for making sure the utilities have been turned off upon vacating the property. 

A: This depends on several factors that range from strength of credit to rental history. If you have poor rental or credit history, you may be asked to provide a cosigner. 

A: You can apply online.

No, guests are not permitted to move in. All live-in guests must be registered and approved through our resident portal. Additionally, short-term guests may visit for up to 14 days within any 90-day period. 

Please refrain from drawing or allowing children to draw on any surfaces or fixtures that are part of the property. This will result in an automatic eviction. 

Improperly disposing of items by pouring them down the drain will not reduce your rent. In fact, it may result in additional charges on top of your regular rent due to potential plumbing damage or required repairs.

yes, in clean designated areas.

Due to the pressure to expedite this process, we have some concerns that make us uncomfortable moving forward. As a result, we will be refunding all funds paid and discontinuing your application. We wish you the best in finding a new home that meets your timeline and needs. 

Yes. Applicants who have an existing connection within the neighborhood may be considered for approval more quickly. This is because established relationships in the community can help promote a safer and more trustworthy living environment 

No. We do not sell properties; all of our homes are available for rent only. 

Renting a home is a significant responsibility. Individuals who are 18 years of age or older are expected to be capable of handling their own affairs and communicating directly regarding their tenancy.

For legal and privacy reasons, we prefer to speak only with the individual(s) named on the lease. Direct communication also demonstrates the level of responsibility and maturity necessary to successfully maintain a home and fulfill the obligations of a lease agreement.

If there is any aspect of the residence that does not meet your expectations or requirements, please do not sign the lease agreement. We encourage you to seek alternative housing that better suits your needs before entering into a lease commitment. 

If you anticipate that you will be unable to pay your rent, please make arrangements in advance for alternative housing and a timely move-out.

In the event rent is not paid as required, a Notice to Pay or Quit will be mailed, providing seven (7) days to cure the delinquency. If the balance remains unpaid after the notice period expires, further action may be taken in accordance with the lease agreement and applicable law, which may include applying any eligible security deposit funds as permitted and initiating eviction proceedings.

How Does the Eviction Process Work?

If rent is not paid when due, a Notice to Pay or Quit will be issued, providing seven (7) days to pay the outstanding balance or vacate the property.

If the balance remains unpaid after the notice period expires, an eviction action may be filed with the court. If the tenant vacates owing rent, damages, or other charges permitted under the lease, the landlord may also pursue a separate claim to recover those amounts.

The first court hearing is generally focused on possession of the property. The judge will ask lessee if they have payment. If no , the court rules in favor of the landlord, a move-out deadline may be established in accordance with applicable law.

If there are additional disputes regarding unpaid rent, damages, lease violations, or other claims, those matters may be addressed in a separate proceeding. At that hearing, both parties may present evidence, photographs, documents, and witness testimony in support of their position.

Please understand that court procedures, timelines, and outcomes are determined by the court and may vary depending on the circumstances of each case.
