How do I visit the property for a viewing?
When you decide you'd like to view a listing in person, please email us at
info@matikmanagement.com
or call us and we'll schedule an appointment to meet you at the property for a walk through.
|
How long are your leases? Do you offer short term leases?
Generally our leases are at least one year. However, depending on the season and particular property, we can offer some flexibility
if you're in a situation that requires a shorter lease. Please discuss with our property managers to learn more.
|
What happens if I need to move out before the end of my lease?
|
Your lease with Matik is a legally binding contract, but contracts can be negated if both parties agree to the termination.
We'll do our best to work with you in order to re-rent your home should you find yourself in this position, but ultimately you
are responsible for the rent through the end of your lease until a qualified applicant is found.
Please reach out to our property
management staff if you find yourself in the situation where you need to terminate your lease early.

When is my rent due and where can I pay it?

What am I responsible for maintaining in the home or apartment?
|
|
Tenants are responsible for all minor maintenance items. Examples include changing your furnace filter, changing light bulbs, changing smoke detector
batteries, unclogging toilets, etc.
Any damage caused outside of normal wear and tear such as a broken window or holes in walls are also the tenant's
responsibility. Matik may require a professional to do the repairs depending on what is damaged or the extent of the damage. Such repairs will be
paid by the tenant directly or charged back.
|
|
Do I need approval to paint or change something in the home I am renting?
Yes. In most of our homes we do approve residents painting rooms as they wish, however, the colors must be approved by the property manager. Any
changes must be approved in writing prior to changing.
|
Is insurance provided? Am I required to get renter's insurance?
The property owner's insurance will cover the building, it's structure, and common area items within the building. However, none of the
tenant's personal belongings are covered under an owner's insurance policy. We strongly recommend that you obtain renter's insurance. In cases of natural
disasters such as flood, fire, tornado, etc, a tenant's belongings are never covered under anything other than their own renter's insurance.
|
Does my application take the home off the market?
A listing will remain active until we receive both your application and any applicable application fees and deposits.
|
Can I obtain a copy of the credit report Matik acquires?
We cannot provide you with a copy of the reports that we run with your application. However, we do disclose the companies used for our background
checks on the application, and you can contact those companies to acquire your own personal copy.
|
Do we need to submit separate applications if we are roommates?
No. The application includes a section where any roommates can be listed.
|
Do you accept co-signers?
In general, we would require a double deposit as opposed to having a co-signer, however, it is a
possibility.
|
What if I can't come to your office to submit my application?
|
Applications can be dropped off at our office location, but we do provide the means to submit it electronically as well.
The application can be downloaded from our website under the Quick Links section on the sidebar, or via the link provided
above in this resource page. The electronic form can be filled out on your computer, then saved and emailed to us, or
print it out and fax the completed application to us. You can also mail the application to the office or PO Box, but note
that regular mail will delay the time it takes for us to receive and process it.
|

|
How long does it take to get a response after I submit my application?
Typically we receive the application back from screening within one business day. There are situations where that process can
take longer, e.g., if the applicant has a common name or has lived in several states.
|
What if my credit is bad?
In most cases, there are only two situations that would cause the credit portion of the process to decline a file: if the applicant has a
prior eviction or if they owe a previous landlord money. Credit blemishes such as bankruptcy, foreclosure, or past due accounts
in excess of $2,000 will still allow for the application to be approved, but would likely require a double deposit.
|
Do you accept pets?
Many of our homes accept pets. Some have size or breed restrictions. Please contact our property managers for information
regarding a specific property.
|
Do pets cost extra?
Matik does not require an additional pet deposit, however, there is a $25 per month fee for 1 pet, or $35 per month fee for two.
|
What are my total move in costs?
The total move in cost will be the total amount of the security deposit, the application fee and the first month’s rent due
when you sign the lease.
|
When I move out, will I get my security deposit back?
Your security deposit will be refunded or a disposition statement will be sent within 21 days of the move out date. The
full amount will be reimbursed if your account is current and the move out inspection reveals no concerns. In cases where
money is still owed on your account, the residence was left in a less than desirable status, or damages have been caused to
the property, the deposit will be adjusted accordingly.
