Terms

We have a few requirements in place to help keep our guests safe and happy. To stay at Sparkle House, guests must:

  • Participate in a private background check (if there are discrepancies, we may ask for a co-signer, extra security deposit, upfront payment, financial statements, or proof of income) 
  • Submit 2 references (one that confirms employment and one from a previous landlord)
  • Set up an account on apartments.com, which will be used to collect an application form, house a digitally-signed lease document, store the house rules document, and facilitate payments. 
  • Secure a basic rental insurance policy, which is usually about $20/month (one we recommend is Lemonade)
  • Secure the reservation with a $1,500 refundable deposit (see below for cancellation policy)
  • Pay an up-front cleaning fee of $200, and an extra $200 if pets are included

Reservation Cancellation Policy

To secure your reservation before you move in, we collect a signed lease and a refundable security deposit of $1,500 to both hold your reservation and to cover any damages or repairs upon departure.  Should you need to cancel your reservation before you move in, we offer the following: 

  • Full refund of security deposit within 45 days
  • 50% refund of security deposit within 30 days
  • No refund of security deposit for 29 days or less

Lease Cancellation And Extension Policy

  • Guests may cancel their lease with 30 days’ notice.
  • Extensions should be requested 30 days in advance of the agreed move-out date.  Keep in mind, that without a lease extension request, we will begin to market the unit 30 days before departure date.

Long Term Leases

Long term rentals will be considered on a case-by-case basis, and will be subject to more traditional terms, such as first/ last month deposit, security deposit, furniture moving and storage (if necessary), and tenant payment of utilities.  

Parking

Each unit includes 1 car assigned parking.   Additional on-site parking is possible at the rate of $25- $50 a month, depending on location.  There is also parking on the street.
