Frequently Asked Questions

If you don’t see your question here please contact us and we will be glad to answer it for you.

  1. What is the procedure for applying for occupancy?
    You need to call the office to schedule an appointment to see the location. (No properties will be leased sight-unseen.) At the showing, you will have the opportunity to complete the application, pay the non-refundable $35.00 application fee, sign the one (1) year lease, pay the security deposit, and sign all applicable addendums. All paperwork must be completed and signed before you will be eligible to apply for a location. Once the screening results are returned and all required paperwork is completed, Emerald Property Management will contact you regarding the status of your application.

  2. What happens once we are approved?
    You will be contacted to schedule a move-in inspection appointment, and your security deposit will be deposited. A copy of your renter’s insurance is required before a move-in inspection may be scheduled.

  3. What is the amount of the security deposit and when is it due?
    The security deposit is equal to one (1) month’s rent and is due at the lease signing.

  4. What happens at the move-in?
    We need to have all of the roommates at the move-in. Only one (1) move-in inspection will occur. All of the utilities need to be changed to your name prior to the move-in inspection. The first month’s rent is due at the move-in inspection. Keys to your new place will be given out at that time.

  6. Who is responsible for maintenance of the property?
    Your lease will show what maintenance is your responsibility, so please refer to your signed lease agreement.

  7. What is the lease term?
    All lease agreements are one (1) year leases unless otherwise noted.

  8. What is the pet policy?
    Unless otherwise noted in the property description, all properties have a no pet policy. If pets are allowed in a particular property, the pet deposit is equal to ½ the monthly rent, and a pet addendum is required. The pet addendum will be attached to the signed lease agreement.

  9. What about military?
    We work very closely with Fort Riley Housing Office. Many of our locations have passed inspections or are on their way to passing inspections. We do have a Military Addendum for our leases. Allotments are available to set up for paying your rent. We do not offer discounted rents for military.
