Rent Pricing & Lease Terms

Policy Statement for Rent Pricing and Lease Terms:

All rent prices are based on a new one-year (12-month) lease. At times, Walford Properties, LLC may offer shorter lease terms with an increase in the regular rent amount. Generally, an increase of 10% will be added to the regular rent price to allow a 6-month lease and an increase of 20% will be added to the regular rent price to allow a 3-month lease. Not all properties will allow a lease term shorter than one-year. Restrictions apply for short-term leasing. Since short term leasing is based on availability, properties allowing shorter lease terms will change frequently during peak rental times. Inquire with office staff for properties allowing 6-month and 3-month leases.

We require a security deposit. Regular security deposit is equal to one-month's rent but may be as much as two-month's rent. Security deposit must be paid with money order or certified check.  Applicants paying a security deposit to hold a unit must occupy unit within 10 days of Walford Properties , LLC receiving security deposit.  Applicant will be charged a fee of $350 if applicant does not occupy unit within 10 days of paying security deposit or if applicant cancels application/lease after our office has received the security deposit.
