Indianapolis Homes for Rent

A: Applicants must provide a valid government-issued ID, verifiable income, and pass background and credit checks. Non-student tenants aged 18 and older must have a minimum credit score of 700. Student tenants must show proof of enrollment at an accredited university and have a qualified guarantor.

A: The standard security deposit is $2,000, though it may be higher depending on the property’s size, updates, or rental price. It must be paid in full to reserve a property and is due before move-in. There is also a yearly cleaning fee of $300, and a one-time, non-refundable $300 fee per approved pet.

A: Some homes are pet-friendly. Please confirm your pet’s size, type, and number when you call. Pets are approved on a case-by-case basis and require additional fees along with a signed pet addendum.

A: Most leases are 12 months, with renewal options for tenants in good standing.

A: Tenants complete a detailed walk-through inspection form at move-in and again at move-out to ensure fairness.

A: Please call the agent listed for that specific home to schedule a private tour. We speak with every prospective tenant by phone before setting appointments to confirm details and answer questions.

A: Tenants are responsible for paying all utilities and for maintaining the lawn, landscaping, and snow removal unless otherwise specified in the lease agreement.

A: Yes. We offer a $200 referral fee per house (not per tenant) to current tenants who refer qualified new tenants who sign a lease for one year or longer.
For example, if two current tenants refer two new tenants who each lease a property for at least a year, we’ll pay $100 to each referring tenant. To qualify, the new tenants must tell the listing agent for that specific home you referred them at the time of their first contact. Referral payments are issued after the new tenants have paid their deposit and first month’s rent.

A: Most of our rental homes are older properties that have been renovated and are kept in good condition by their owners. Homes with basements are typically unfinished and not waterproofed, so light water intrusion may occur during heavy rain. These basements have drains and/or sump pumps to manage water flow, and the amount is generally minimal—making them suitable for limited storage. All properties are rented as-is, and we strive to ensure they remain safe, clean, and well-maintained.
