You’ve Got Questions - We’ve Got Answers
Welcome to the Falk Properties Help Center. We have pulled some of the most frequently asked questions from our users and compiled them all into one place. Perhaps you may have the same question that was on somebody else’s mind - here you will find what you are looking for. Should you have any other questions that we may have missed, do not hesitate to reach out.
If I'm interested in a property, how do I set up an appointment to view the unit?
If you take interest in one of our available apartment units, please contact us via phone, email, or our website to set up a viewing appointment.
How does your application process work?
If you've found a unit that you like and would like to apply for, please click the apply now button on the listing. This will take you to our online application. An application is required for any potential resident over 18 years old. Once the application is filled out, we will get back to you promptly about next steps.
If I'm accepted, what are my next steps?
Once you're accepted, the next step is to run credit/background checks (Credit, Background, and Eviction Reports are required before the collection of any deposit[s]). This will also be done online, through our software, Avail. Depending on your credit score, we may collect a higher deposit. If your credit score is the California average or above (715), then only the security deposit and first month's rent is required to move in. If it is below that average, then we collect an additional deposit. For more information on fees, see the next paragraph. After we have run credit and collected deposits, we will send over an electronic lease to be signed, and set up an appointment with you to hand over keys.
What do your fees look like?
Below is a list of all of our fees regarding the move-in process:
​
Application Fee: $0
Online Report Fees (Includes Background Report, Credit Score Report, and Eviction Report): $55/Person
Security Deposit: 1 month's rent (Varies depending on unit rent)
Extra Deposit (If needed): $1,000
How long is your lease term?
Our lease is a 1-year lease, and then month-to-month after that.
