Fill out the application (click to download), and submit it to us along with the application fee of $35. We then complete a background check, as well as credit and eviction checks. After approval, the deposit, first month's rent, and in some cases, the last month's rent is payable. The lease is then signed and is for twelve months or longer. After this, we do the final walk-through and hand over the keys.

Description of Our Properties
We offer only quality homes for rent and lease.
Most are in Hernando County area, but we also have properties located from Ocala down to Saint Petersburg. Most of our properties are brand new and so are in excellent condition. Those that are not brand new, are in almost-new condition.
We do, of course, inspect the homes before renting and have a standard list of property conditions. These include cleanliness, electricity and plumbing criteria etc.
This makes for very little maintenance, with appliances being in good condition and the homes having no or little wear and tear.
