FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How do I set up a showing?
Please email us at info@jmarkproperties.com or call 817-675-4976 to set up a time to see one of our off-campus rentals. When scheduling a showing for our student housing near TCU, we will arrange it at least 24 hours in advance to avoid inconveniencing our current tenants. Additionally, we ask that all members of your group be present at the time of the showing for the TCU housing.
We saw the house and love it. What happens next?
If you are ready to move forward with leasing one of our off-campus rentals, you will go through the following steps: 1. Each person will need to fill out an Application for Rental, which is completed online. Please click the "Apply Now" button on our home page. There is a $50 application fee that is paid when applying. 2. Once all of your Applications have been received and approved (approval normally takes only a few hours), we will email your group a copy of the lease agreement. Your group will then need to set up a time to meet with us to sign the lease. 3. At the time the lease is signed, each person must also put down a security deposit, which is typically one month’s rent. 4. Once the lease has been signed and all of the security deposits have been paid, then your student housing near TCU is officially yours!
How quickly do I need to sign a lease?
Leasing our off-campus rentals can move very quickly. Once your group has submitted your Applications for Rental, we will only hold the TCU housing for you for 24 hours. If a lease has not been signed by then, it is possible that another group could take your desired student housing near TCU.
Do I need a Lease Guarantor?
If you have no rental history, especially when looking for off-campus rentals or student housing near TCU, we prefer that you have a Lease Guarantor. This is typically a parent who signs the form stating that if you don’t pay, they will. You can scan this document and email it back to us. We prefer this to be completed at the time a lease is signed for TCU housing.
How much do utilities normally run for your properties?
Utility amounts in off-campus rentals will vary by house, usage, and rates. The only required utilities for student housing near TCU are Water and Electricity. Typically, tenants can expect to pay an additional $50 per month for these utilities. All utilities are set up and managed by the tenants themselves in TCU housing.
One member of our group is studying abroad. Can they still be on the lease?
Yes. Normally when a member of the group is studying abroad, we will ask a parent to sign the lease for them and pay that group member’s deposit for their off-campus rentals. The lease can be scanned and emailed, and the check can be mailed, ensuring that the process is smooth for those seeking student housing near TCU or TCU housing.
We signed a lease. Now what?
We will contact you a month before your move-in date with information to assist you with your transition into our off-campus rentals. We will also schedule a time for you to come and pick up your keys for your student housing near TCU. Only one person needs to be present to pick up the keys for your TCU housing.
