Places for Rent in Montana – Frequently Asked Questions
Can I be approved with lack of income or credit history?
If you have financial issues or credit problems, we will attempt to help you find an alternative solution to rent. Perhaps a double deposit or qualified co-signer will be a solution for you to re-establish your rental history. However, if you have been evicted, owe a past landlord or management company monies, caused property damage or didn't pay your utilities within the last 5 years, we may not be able to help you. Be honest on your application and we will do our best to accommodate you!

Do you allow pets in your apartments and homes for rent?
The houses and apartments for rent that allow pets require an additional deposit. Other houses and apartments for rent only allow small pets which are those that weigh under 25 pounds when they are full grown.
How do I get set up with the utility companies at my new rental home?
We will provide you with a list of the utility companies and highlight the companies that you will need to call and set up your utilities in your name. On some properties we will be billed for your utilities and then bill you along with your rent.
Is it ok if new family members or friends move in later?
Yes, that is fine as long as they go through our application process and are approved. Then we will proceed after they are approved on the application and put their name on the lease along with yours. We want to maintain safe living conditions for everyone in our homes and apartments for rent in Billings, Montana and the surrounding areas.
What if I need to break my lease?
If you break your lease you will need to pay for advertising costs and your rent until the property that you vacated is rented. This is stated on your lease and explained to you when you are signing your lease.
What happens if I have trouble paying my rent one month?
If you know that you are going to have trouble paying your rent one month please feel free to call our office and tell us. We will then put your name in our payment arrangement book and you will not be charged late fees for your rent being late. We really ask that you call before the first of the month so that we will be able to give notice to the right person. You can call our office at (406) 655-4244. |
