Move In Process
There are a few steps to complete before moving into a CRM Properties home. We’ve done our best to make the process as simple and straightforward as possible.
Step 1:
You will be notified via email of your application outcome. If approved, you will have 24 hours to secure the property by signing the holding fee agreement and paying the holding fee (equal to one month's base rent).
Failure to complete these steps within the 24-hour timeframe will result in forfeiting your place in line. Please note, the holding fee is non-refundable and non-transferable, but it will be applied toward your total move-in costs.
At the time the holding fee is submitted, you will select a lease start date within 3–7 days to allow time to complete the remaining steps and prepare for key pickup.
Step 2:
You will receive a “Welcome” email outlining the lease signing process, which is completed entirely online. This includes:
- Transferring all applicable utilities into your name
- Registering within our resident portal systems
- Paying any remaining move-in costs
- Reviewing and signing all lease documents via e-signature
Step 3:
Once all lease signing steps are completed, you will receive an email on your selected lease start date confirming that your keys are ready for pickup, along with instructions on how and where to retrieve them. After receiving your keys, you will have 72 hours to complete your move-in inspection. Instructions for completing this process will be provided via email.
Welcome to CRM Properties and we hope you enjoy your new home!
